Debbie Shepherd – Vauxhall Corsa
Debbie called our Stourbridge branch at 16:35 after hitting a pothole outside Glasshouse College on the A491 High Street, Amblecote. The branch was only around 1.5 miles away, allowing our mobile team to respond locally despite the Friday afternoon traffic.
Debbie's Friday Rush-Hour Repair
This was not simply a mobile tyre replacement. The pothole had damaged both the tyre and alloy wheel, so Matt combined mobile attendance with specialist workshop straightening at Stourbridge.
Debbie contacted our nearby branch after the Corsa hit a pothole on the A491 outside Glasshouse College.
Despite busy Friday rush-hour traffic, Matt reached Debbie within around 20 minutes for this particular call-out.
With traffic heavy around Amblecote High Street, Matt made sure the Corsa was safely positioned before removing the damaged wheel.
Inspection showed that the pothole had buckled the alloy wheel and damaged the tyre, so both needed attention.
The damaged wheel was transported approximately 1.5 miles to our Stourbridge branch for specialist straightening.
The buckled alloy was repaired using our specialist wheel straightening equipment before the replacement tyre was fitted.
A new 195/55R16 91V XL Maxxis HP6 was fitted to the repaired wheel and the wheel and tyre assembly was balanced.
Matt returned the repaired wheel and refitted it to Debbie's Corsa within around 1 hour 20 minutes of the original call.
Debbie's breakdown location was only around five minutes from our Stourbridge branch in normal traffic.
For this particular Friday afternoon job, the repaired wheel was returned and refitted within approximately 80 minutes.
