Machine, balancer, torque wrench and your tyre all ride out to Erdington in one van, so the car on the drive in Short Heath or in the Fort Dunlop yard stays exactly where it is.
Getting a damaged tyre from Erdington to a workshop means the Tyburn Road, the Sutton New Road or the Chester Road, and every mile on a failing tyre does more harm to it and to the wheel. So the fitter comes to the car: a driveway in Short Heath, a space at The Fort once the centre agrees, a gated yard at Fort Dunlop with a van in it.
The car is lifted on its jacking point beside the van, the wheel comes off and the old tyre is separated from the rim on the machine in the back. The new one is fitted to the rim and inflated, the assembly is balanced, and the wheel goes back on with every nut torqued to the maker's setting. Text the sidewall size and the address or unit and the price is confirmed on that call. The van is the only thing that drives anywhere.
Firm level ground where the van can stand alongside: drives across Stockland Green and Pype Hayes, Station Road, yards on the Tyburn Road estates. Not the pedestrianised High Street, the M6 slips or the Gravelly Hill loops.

The job needs flat, firm ground beside the wheel with room to jack the car and kneel, and the van close by without blocking a drive or the road. Erdington's wide driveways in Pype Hayes suit it, as do kerbsides in Stockland Green and yards at Fort Dunlop. A car at The Fort needs the centre's agreement and a quieter corner of the car park. The car never needs moving, because the whole workshop comes to it.
The tyre workshop drives to Erdington; your car stays on the drive or in the yard.
