Everything a depot on the A10 would use is in the van: the tyre changer, the wheel balancer, the torque wrench, the stock. In Enfield the entire job happens at the kerb and the car does not move.
The reason a mobile fit matters in Enfield is that a flat car cannot get anywhere. From Enfield Lock or Bullsmoor the nearest help is a drive down the Great Cambridge Road, a red route with nowhere to stop; from Winchmore Hill it means Green Lanes and its bus lanes; from Edmonton it means the North Circular. Driving any of them on a flat or a bulge risks the rim and everyone around you. So the workshop comes up the A10 instead, and the car stays on the drive.
On arrival the van parks behind or beside the car; a drive in Oakwood is easiest, a permit bay in Enfield Town works too. Off comes the wheel, the machine breaks the old tyre away from the rim, the new tyre is seated and inflated, the balancer takes out any wobble, and the wheel goes back on, nuts set to the maker's torque figure. Only the dead tyre gets carried away. Sidewall size plus exact street lets the whole cost be agreed on the phone.
Wherever the van can pull alongside: drives across Grange Park and Hadley Wood, streets around Edmonton Green, trading estate roads in Brimsdown. Not inside the Palace Gardens car park, not at the Enfield Town station forecourt, and never on the A10, A406 or M25 carriageway.

Enfield driveways make this easy, but any spot needs a kneeling strip alongside the wheel for the jack and a level surface so the car sits steady. Oakwood and Winchmore Hill drives are ideal. On Southgate or Palmers Green controlled streets, share the permit bay, and help find the van a space that hems in nobody's drive and keeps out of the Green Lanes bus lane. A Brimsdown estate road works when nobody is loading next to it. Machine and balancer travel, so the car stays put.
The tyre workshop drives to Enfield; your car stays exactly where it is.
