The fitting bay comes to Halesowen in a van: bead breaker, balancer, compressor and tyres in the common sizes. Whether the car is in Hurst Green or at Coombs Wood, it stays where it is.
With no railway station and no tyre bay within walking distance of every Halesowen estate, a car that will not move under its own power, on a Lapal drive with a shredded tyre or outside a Cradley terrace on the rim, has two options: a tow or a fitter who brings the workshop. The van holds a tyre changer, a wheel balancer, a jack rated for vans and stock in family-car sizes, with anything unusual collected from Brent Cross first. Nothing about the job needs a ramp or a pit.
Kerbside in Halesowen the wheel comes away, the dead tyre is broken from its bead, the new one mounted, inflated, seated and balanced on the van's machine, then refitted and torqued to the maker's figure. Give the sidewall size, the street in Hasbury or Hayley Green, and whether the car is on a slope; the Mucklow Hill side has few level roads and the jack needs one. The cost is confirmed on the call.
Any drive or kerb with a car's length of room for the van: Lapal, Hurst Green, Cradley, the Illey lanes. Coombs Wood yards and the college car park by arrangement. Not the bus station, and not on the A456 or A458 carriageway.

The job needs less space than people fear, but it does need some: a strip beside the wheel wide enough to kneel and swing the tyre, and firm, level ground so the jack will not creep. Halesowen's hills make that the main question, and a flat Hasbury drive or a level Illey lane beats a steep stretch near Mucklow Hill. Private bays at the Coombs Wood units work with the landlord's say-so. Nobody's drive should be blocked, and the car itself never has to move.
The tyre workshop drives to Halesowen; your car does not move an inch.
