The van that comes to Handsworth carries a tyre changer, a wheel balancer and stock. The whole job happens at the kerb off Grove Lane, and your car never goes near a workshop.
Handsworth's terraces are tight, the A41 is red route, and a car with a ruined tyre cannot be driven anywhere useful. A workshop on wheels is the answer: the van parks beside the car on a Rookery Road terrace or a Handsworth Wood drive, and everything needed is inside it. The dead tyre comes off on the van's machine, the new one goes on to the rim, spins on the balancer, and is bolted back on to the car with the pressures set, without the car moving a metre.
Send the sidewall code, the street and how the car is parked. A tyre in that size is loaded for Handsworth; the fitter sets up beside the car with cones, jacks it, and does the mount and balance in the van. Back goes the wheel, torqued to spec. Tyre, fitting and the run out to Handsworth are priced together on the call, not decided on the day, and the old tyre goes with the van.
Beside the car on any terrace off Soho Road, up a Handsworth Wood driveway, or in the Leisure Centre car park. A metre of clear space on the damaged side is enough. Not on the A41 red route or the Metro reservation at Booth Street.

The fitting van needs a little room in Handsworth. Around a metre beside the affected wheel lets the jack and wheel go in safely, and level ground stops the car shifting, so tell us if a Handsworth Wood drive slopes. A private bay or a legal side street is fine as long as the van is not blocking a neighbour's gate or the Leisure Centre entrance. Changer and balancer ride inside that van, so a Handsworth car never needs shifting from its spot.
The workshop comes to your Handsworth kerb; the car stays where it is.
