The complete workshop, tyre changer, balancer and stock, drives to a Little Gaddesden lane, a Northchurch driveway or the Berkhamsted station car park. The job is finished beside the car, which is never moved.
Berkhamsted has plenty of places a car cannot easily leave. A vehicle on a steep drive above the canal might have two damaged tyres, a car in the villages towards Ashridge may be miles from a workshop with no usable spare, and a car in a High Street residents' bay may have nowhere to be towed from. Waiting for a truck and paying a separate bill just to reach a tyre bay makes no sense.
Stowed in the Berkhamsted van are a changing machine, balancing gear, jacks, a torque wrench and the sizes most HP4 cars use. The wheel comes off where the car is, the tyre is exchanged on the changer and spun up for balance, and the nuts are then tightened to the figure the carmaker sets. Share your tyre size and the parking situation, drive, bay or lane; the price is agreed before setting off.
The van parks close to the car on a Northchurch or Little Gaddesden drive, in the station car park or beside a residents' bay. A narrow hillside lane may need a wider gateway nearby for the van to stop.

Hillside HP4 homes make space the main question. The jack wants solid, flat footing next to the wheel, the van needs to stop close by, and a neighbour's drive or a narrow lane must stay open. A near-flat section of an Ashlyns drive, a Berkhamsted station bay or a residents' space with room alongside all suit. The whole job happens with the car untouched in its spot, which matters on Berkhamsted streets like Kings Road where moving a car with a flat is awkward.
