No trip to a tyre bay, no tow. For Hemel Hempstead the van carries the tyre machine, the wheel balancer and a rack of tyres, so every step from wheel off to wheel on happens at the kerb outside.
In Hemel, moving a car with a dead tyre to a workshop is usually the awkward bit. A car on a Grovehill drive with a wrecked tyre cannot be driven, one in a Maylands yard may be blocking a loading bay, and nobody wants a heavy estate lifted onto a tow truck just to reach a fitting bay on the A4251. The answer is to bring the whole workshop to where the car already sits.
Inside the van sits the kit of a tyre bay: a changer to strip and mount the rubber, a balancer, lifting jack, torque wrench plus a supply of popular sizes for Hemel cars. Tell us the size and exactly where the car is, drive, cul-de-sac or Maylands unit, and the figure is agreed while you are on the line. The fitter lifts off the wheel, swaps and balances the tyre, bolts it back to the specified torque, and drives off.
The van needs to park beside or close to the car, which suits Hemel's driveways, Leverstock Green cul-de-sacs, Maylands yards and the surface car parks at Riverside. The Marlowes multi-storeys and the M1 carriageway are not workable.

Hemel jobs need about a door's width of clear ground next to the wheel, flat tarmac so the jack stays steady, and a place where the van can stop without blocking a neighbour's drive. Cul-de-sacs in Woodhall Farm and Grovehill usually tick all three, and private or permit bays work once the owner agrees. With the tyre changer and balancer riding along in the van, the Hemel car never leaves its spot, and nobody nurses it towards a workshop near the Marlowes.
