The van carries the tyre changer, the balancer and the stock, so in Hammersmith and Fulham the entire fitting is done on the resident bay in Fulham, Hammersmith or Shepherds Bush, and the car stays put.
Where would a car with a damaged tyre go? From Sands End it is Wandsworth Bridge Road or Townmead Road and then a main road. From Hammersmith it is the A4 or the gyratory. From White City it is the Westway. Each of them, driven on a flat or a bulge, endangers the rim and the traffic alongside, and the borough's controlled streets make any detour slow. Better that the workshop travels to the bay and the car goes nowhere.
The van takes the bay behind the car on a Fulham terrace, parks where residents permit in a mews, and near a football ground arrives outside the fixture window. The wheel is removed, the machine breaks the old tyre off the rim, the new one is mounted, inflated, balanced, and the wheel returns to the hub at the maker's torque. Only the dead tyre leaves. Sidewall size plus bay, and the complete cost is confirmed on the phone.
Any spot where the van fits beside the car: bays across Fulham, Barons Court and Brook Green, the W12 grid, the streets behind Charing Cross Hospital, a pay-by-phone bay near Olympia. Not inside Westfield's car parks or the Hammersmith Broadway centre, and never on the A4, A40 or A3220.

The fitter wants a clear strip beside the wheel and a level surface, plus somewhere the van can wait without hemming anyone in. On Fulham's terraces the van often takes a nearby bay; in a mews off Fulham Road it depends on residents' access. Near Stamford Bridge, Craven Cottage or Loftus Road, steer clear of fixture closures. The W12 terraces off Uxbridge Road are workable. Nothing needs driving anywhere, because the changer and wheel balancer ride along in the Brent Cross van.
The workshop drives to Fulham or Hammersmith; your car stays on the bay.
