The workshop comes to Digbeth on four wheels. Tyre machine, wheel balancer, torque wrench and stock all travel in the van, and the car in your Eastside car park never turns a wheel.
Moving a car with a damaged tyre out of Digbeth means the Queensway or the Middleway, the Clean Air Zone charge for a non-compliant vehicle, and a rim ground down on the setts along the way. Better that the van comes to the car: a surface car park behind the Custard Factory, a yard off Heath Mill Lane, a residents' space near Typhoo Wharf.
Once there, the fitter lifts the car on its proper jacking point, strips the worn casing off the rim on the tyre machine bolted into the van, mounts the new one, balances it and bolts the wheel back on at the specified torque. Tell us the sidewall size and the precise spot when you call; the price is fixed then, and the only thing that moves is the van.
Anywhere in Digbeth with level ground and space for the van next to the car: pay-and-display car parks, the streets around the Old Crown, warehouse yards in Deritend and Bordesley. Loading bays in use, bus lanes and the coach station are not workable.

The job needs a strip of level ground next to the wheel with room for a trolley jack and a fitter on one knee, and the van close by. In Digbeth that usually means a pay-and-display car park near the Custard Factory, a bay you have paid for or hold a permit for, or a private yard in Bordesley. The van must not block a gate, a loading bay in use or other drivers. With machine and balancer on board, the Digbeth car is never moved to a workshop.
Digbeth's setts, yards and car parks: the tyre workshop arrives in the van and the car stays put.
