Everything a tyre bay has, the changer, the balancer and the tyres, travels to Bedford in the van, so the car is never towed across town from Kempston or Goldington.
A damaged tyre in Bedford once meant a tow to a depot or a risky drive round the ring road. Neither suits a car stuck on a Castle Road permit street where it cannot legally be shifted, or a staff car at the Elstow units during a shift. With the workshop in the van, the job comes to the car instead, and nothing needs to leave the kerb, the bay or the drive.
The van carries a tyre changing machine to part tyre and rim, a wheel balancer, compressed air, torque equipment and stock of common Bedford sizes. The fitter takes the wheel off beside your car, fits the new tyre, balances it on board and tightens the nuts to the maker's figure. On the call, give the size, the exact spot, and whether there is kerb space for the van alongside; the price is confirmed then.
The van needs to pull up beside the car: a Putnoe drive, a Kempston street, a permit bay in De Parys, the Interchange Retail Park or Bedford station surface bays. Height-barred car parks and the upper multi-storey decks cannot take it.

Space matters more than anything: a van width beside the wheel, firm level ground and nobody boxed in. On a De Parys permit street, make sure the van can stop close by within the rules. A private bay at a workplace near Elstow needs the site's permission. Most Putnoe drives are easy. Because the changer, the balancer and the common Bedford sizes all travel to you, the car does not shift an inch, which matters when it sits on a flat.
A complete tyre workshop comes to your Bedford kerb, driveway or car park.
