Everything a tyre bay has comes to Hall Green in the van: the changing machine, the balancer and the stock, so the car is fitted on the drive and never moves.
There are Hall Green cars that cannot be driven anywhere. One down on its rim at the station. One on a Robin Hood drive with a sidewall bulge that makes the two miles to a depot a risk. One limped off the Stratford Road onto a side turning with the tyre in pieces. For all of them the sensible answer is a van that is a complete tyre workshop, parked next to the car.
Tyre changer, wheel balancer, torque wrench, a jack that suits the car, and a rack of the common sizes: that is what parks on your Hall Green drive. Send the tyre code, say where the car has been left and whether the surface beside it is flat. The fitter removes the wheel, levers the old tyre off on the changer, seats and balances its successor beside the car and refits the wheel at the correct torque. One figure, agreed by phone.
A drive off Shirley Road or School Road, a bay at Hall Green station, a residential road near Sarehole: what counts is flat ground with space to work round the wheel. A slope in the mill lanes or a Stratford Road lay-by in traffic is not suitable.

The mobile workshop needs a little room. The van parks as close as possible, and the fitter needs elbow room around the damaged wheel plus a firm, level surface for the jack. Driveways in Highfield and Robin Hood are ideal; a camber in the narrow roads around Sarehole Mill is not. Private and permit bays are fine with permission, and nothing should block a neighbour's drive. That is the point: the car does not move an inch, the tools come to it.
The tyre workshop comes to Hall Green. Your car stays on the drive.
