A tyre bay on wheels for Aston: machine, balancer, torque wrench and the tyre itself come to the terrace or the yard, and the car does not move.
Driving a damaged tyre out of Aston means the Lichfield Road, Salford Circus or the Expressway, all of them hard on a tyre that is on its way out, with the rim taking a beating as well. So the fitting is done where the car stands: a terrace between Witton Road and Trinity Road, a forecourt near Aston Cross, a gated yard on Holborn Hill with a pick-up in it.
With the van parked beside the car, the fitter raises it on the correct jacking point and levers the old tyre away from the rim on the van's own machine. On goes the new tyre; it is inflated, balanced, and refitted with each nut tightened to the torque the maker specifies. Send the sidewall size and the street or unit, and the price is fixed on that call. Only the van drives anywhere.
Firm level ground beside which the van can stand: terraces around Aston Park, forecourts on the Lichfield Road, yards on Aston Lane. Not the Expressway, the M6 slips or the closed streets around Villa Park on a fixture day.

Space is the requirement: level, firm ground beside the wheel, room to slide a jack under and kneel, and the van parked near without blocking the terrace. Aston's gated yards on Aston Lane are ideal, and private forecourts at Aston Cross suit the job with the owner's say-so; streets towards Witton station work when there is a gap. Nobody should be boxed in. The tyre machine and balancer ride in the van, so an Aston car stays put from start to finish.
The tyre workshop drives to Aston; your car stays on the terrace or in the yard.
