Forget towing a car across Corby to a workshop. The van is the workshop, with a tyre machine and balancer on board, and the whole job happens where the car stands in Beanfield or Phoenix Parkway.
Moving a car with a wrecked tyre is the hard part in Corby. A car on a flat in a Phoenix Parkway bay cannot be driven, recovery to a fitting centre costs more than the tyre, and many modern cars leave the factory with an inflator kit instead of a spare. The practical answer, especially on estates built with wide roads and garage drives like Beanfield and Snatchill, is to bring the tools to the car.
Bolted into the van are a balancer and a tyre changer, plus compressed air, a calibrated wrench for torque and common sizes in stock. With the car lifted on the spot, its wheel is walked to the van, the tyre mounted and balanced on the machine, and the wheel bolted back on at the maker's torque figure. The car never moves. Send the size and exact spot in NN17 or NN18, and the price is fixed before the fitter comes.
The van needs to park near the car: a Beanfield or Snatchill driveway, a wide estate road, a Phoenix Parkway or Eurohub car park, or a Willow Place bay. Not on the A43 or A6003.

The Corby job needs a bit of flat, firm ground beside the damaged wheel and a spot for the van within a short carry. Corby's estates help here: Lodge Park and Beanfield drives and garage fronts are usually level and wide. In a Eurohub or Phoenix Parkway staff car park, the van is positioned so it does not block other bays or the gate. At no point does the Corby car have to be driven.
The workshop comes to your Corby street. Tell us the tyre size and the exact spot.
