The workshop drives to Balsall Heath. Tyre machine, wheel balancer, compressor and a tyre in your size all come out on the van, so nothing about the job needs a garage.
A car with a destroyed tyre in the Cannon Hill Park car park off Russell Road, or outside a house near Balsall Heath Library, is not driving to a garage, and a tow across the Middleway costs more than the tyre. Mobile fitting suits the district: the park car parks have room for a van, and on the terraces the fitter stops a few doors down and carries the wheel to the machine and back. The car does not move from its space.
Tyre, fitting and the visit to B12 are agreed as one cost when you ring, and the worn tyre is taken away afterwards. Text the car's spot, its sidewall size and, if you can, a picture. The fitter parks where the street allows, jacks the car, strips the old tyre from the rim on the van's machine, seats the replacement, balances it on the van's balancer and torques the wheel. Nothing is carried off to a workshop.
Anywhere in Balsall Heath within carrying distance of a stopping place for the van: terraces off Edward Road and the Pershore Road, the streets by Calthorpe Park, the park car parks and side streets off Ladypool Road. Moseley Road bus lanes and the ring road are the exceptions.

Room is what a Balsall Heath kerbside fitting needs most. The jack goes in beside the wheel and the fitter kneels there, so a car nudged tight against another on Mary Street may need a gap. Level road helps. The van stops where it will not block the street or a neighbour's space, and the wheel is carried to it. Because the machine and balancer travel with the van, the car itself never moves. The Cannon Hill Park car parks are the roomiest option.
