A car on its rim in a Coventry car park is not driving to any depot. The changer, balancer, torque wrench and tyres come to it instead, and every step happens beside the Coventry kerb.
Picture a shredded tyre in the Arena Park car park at Longford, a bulge in a Gibbet Hill campus bay, or a sidewall torn by a ring road kerb in Hillfields. In each case the Coventry car should not be driven, so the workshop has to travel. The van carries a machine to break the bead and mount the replacement, a balancer so the wheel runs true on the A45, and stock in the sizes CV cars commonly use.
At the car the routine runs in order: jacked on level ground, wheel removed, old tyre stripped on the machine, new tyre seated and inflated, balanced, refitted and torqued to specification, other tyres pressure checked. The car stays exactly where it is, whether that is an Earlsdon street or the Walsgrave hospital car park. The combined figure for tyre and visit is agreed before the van leaves for Coventry.
Any level surface with room for the van alongside: Earlsdon and Radford streets, Warwick and Coventry University car parks, the Walsgrave hospital site, or retail parks at Binley and Longford. No multi-storey inside the A4053, and never a motorway.

About emergency mobile tyre fitting nationwide → · Emergency mobile tyre fitting on the Coventry page
Kerbside work needs room beside the wheel for the tyre to come out, firm flat tarmac so the jack will not sink, and van parking that leaves every drive clear. Private bays on the Westwood business park and wide Finham driveways suit it, as do Coventry permit bays with the permit on show. The tyre machine and balancer travel on board, so the car is fitted where it sits and never has to reach a garage.
A tyre workshop that parks on your Coventry street and completes the job there.
