Kings Heath is four miles south of Birmingham city centre, served by the A435 road, which travels south to Cirencester. It is outside of Birmingham's Clean Air Zone, so you won't be charged for driving in the area, though it's worth checking whether your car is compliant if you plan on heading into the city. There is an EV charging station on Kings Heath High Street and plenty of bus services to destinations including Aston, Maypole and Moseley.

Urban driving in Kings Heath may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Kings Heath can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Brake discs spin with your car's wheels, while brake pads push on the discs to slow the vehicle. Due to the friction involved, these components wear down over time.
