Lodge Tyre Co

Whenever I’ve been to a garage, I get a feeling I’m being stereotyped as a woman-​driver who knows little about cars. But since I’ve been solely responsible for my car for seven years, I’ve come to learn a few things that have even surprised mechanics.
When I went to Lodge Tyres to get tracking done, I didn’t feel as though I was being judged in any way — and I’m sure ladies will understand what I mean by that! The staff members are friendly and bubbly. They explain everything clearly, without trying to drown you out with technical terms. They offer detailed reports so you know how your car has been tested and what the results show.
They tend to get very busy so it’s worth calling in advance to book an appointment. Parking in the area can be a nightmare because it’s so busy. Large trucks pass through these roads so you have to be cautious on where you park.

Situated just behind Waterlinks House (the big glass fronted office block you see as you approach Birmingham along the Expressway) this slightly hard to find garage offer the usual range of services — I’ve had my MOT done here twice. Standard practice for me was to drop the car in in the morning, and it would be ready by close of play that day — I don’t know whether or not they can turn things around quicker, or whether they offer courtesy cars I’m afraid.
I did get a detailed report of how my car fared in its MOT test, and wasn’t charged over the odds for the standard windscreen wiper replacement, so left feeling that Lodge Tyre are honest, decent folk.
