The van is a complete tyre bay on wheels. In Atherstone that means changer, balancer and stock pull up at your Grendon drive or Carlyon Road unit, and the car is not shifted at all.
Taking a car whose tyre is wrecked from Atherstone to a garage means limping along the A5 to Tamworth or the B4114 to Nuneaton, both roads where a flat is dangerous. Towing it costs a day. Vans parked in Holly Lane yards, cars on steep streets in Dordon, and older drivers in Witherley or Hartshill are exactly the jobs that suit a service where the equipment travels and the car stays parked.
Racked in the van are a changer, a balancer, compressed air and a stock of common sizes. The damaged tyre is removed from the rim on the changer at the roadside, the replacement is mounted, and the balancer shows exactly how much weight each wheel needs. A torque wrench sets every nut before the fitter leaves Atherstone. From you, the fitter needs the size, the registration and a spot where the van can park close by.
The van parks next to the car on a Mancetter or Grendon drive, inside an industrial yard on Holly Lane, or at the leisure complex. Long Street and Market Square bays rarely leave the room needed.

With the changer, balancer and tyre stock travelling in the van, the job only needs a flat patch of ground with room to kneel beside the wheel and space for the van close by. A private bay in a Holly Lane works car park or a Mancetter drive is ideal; a sloping street in Baddesley Ensor is not, unless the car can reach level ground first. Keep other cars and delivery lorries able to pass. The car never has to leave its space in Atherstone, which is the whole point.
Machine, balancer and tyre arrive at your Atherstone kerb, and the job is done there.
