What a Uxbridge Road depot bolts to its floor, the Ealing van carries in the back: changer, balancer, tyres. Your car or van stays in the Greenford yard throughout.
Why move a car with a wrecked tyre from Northolt to a depot on the Uxbridge Road? The machinery comes to you instead. In the van: bead breaker, mounting arm, wheel balancer, compressor, torque wrench, and a rack of the sizes Ealing cars and trade vans wear. A Northfields drive, a Greenford unit yard, a permit bay near Acton Central or the residential grid behind Southall Broadway is the workshop for the duration.
Give the sidewall size and the Ealing address, and dig out the locking nut key if the car has one. The van parks beside or just behind the vehicle with the sliding door clear, on ground flat enough for a jack, which most Ealing drives and yards offer. Wheel removed, tyre swapped on the machine, wheel balanced, refitted, torqued, old tyre loaded for disposal. The price given by phone is the price paid in W5 or UB6.
Driveways in Ealing Broadway, Northfields, Pitshanger and Hanwell, permit bays in Acton, yards in Greenford, Perivale and Park Royal, the side streets of Southall and Northolt. Not the shopping centre car park, the station forecourt or the A40.

Space decides where the job can happen. An Ealing job needs kneeling space by the wheel, a firm footing under the jack and a van spot that leaves Ealing bus lanes and neighbours unobstructed. The avenues around Ealing Broadway and the drives of Northfields suit, as do bays you are permitted to use in Acton. With the changer and balancer on board, the car never leaves its spot. Avoid the Uxbridge Road itself and choose a side street.
The workshop comes to Ealing; the car never leaves its drive, bay or yard.
