Bilston's tyre bay is a van: the bead breaker, the balancer, the compressor and a rack of common sizes, set up at a Bradley kerb or a canal-side yard while the car stays put.
A car on its rim on an Ettingshall terrace, a van in a Bilston Lane unit with a tyre in ribbons, a car at Coseley station that cannot be driven onto the A4123: each needs every step of the job done in place. Aboard are a tyre changer, a wheel balancer, a compressor, a jack that will lift a loaded van and a stock of everyday sizes; rarer ones are picked up at Brent Cross en route. No ramp, no pit, no tow to a garage on the A41.
At the kerb the car is raised, the wheel taken off, the old tyre broken from its bead and the new one fitted to the rim, seated, inflated and balanced, then bolted back on at the torque the maker specifies. Give the sidewall size, the WV14 street or unit, and whether there is a kerb gap; Bradley's terraces are tight and the van needs a car's length. The whole figure is agreed on the call before anything is booked.
Any drive or kerb with room for the van alongside, from Woodcross and Coseley across to Bradley, Loxdale and the Lunt. Bilston Lane and canal-side units, the Urban Village parking, Coseley station with the operator told, council car parks off market day. Not the Metro stops or the A463.

Changer and balancer ride in the van; what Bilston has to supply is a patch of ground. That means firm, level footing for the jack, a clear strip beside the wheel, and the van parked near enough without blocking the street. The Bradley terraces are the tricky case, so a kerb gap or the end of the row helps. Stowlawn and Coseley drives, the Urban Village parking and Bilston Lane yards suit it well. With space sorted, the car does not move at all.
The tyre bay drives to Bilston; your car stays on its drive or at the kerb.
