A car with a wrecked tyre in a Stockley Park parking area or on a street by Hillingdon Hospital does not need a tow. The van is the workshop, and the car keeps its parking space throughout.
Office staff at Stockley Park and hospital workers parked off Pield Heath Road have the same problem when a tyre is destroyed: the car cannot be driven and a recovery truck eats an afternoon. The van is a workshop on wheels. Tyre changer, balancer, compressor, jack, torque wrench and stock in the common sizes all arrive at the parking space, so the ruined tyre is stripped, the new one mounted and balanced and the wheel torqued without the car turning a wheel.
Give the size from an undamaged tyre and the exact location. Stockley Park is a managed site, so the tenant's permission is needed for the fitter to work in a parking area; a street near Hillingdon Hospital just needs the road name, since the hospital car parks are private. The old tyre comes off at the car, the new one is fitted and balanced on the van's machine, the wheel is refitted and torqued and the pressure set. The call fixes the price; asking costs nothing.
Stockley Park estate roads and tenants' parking areas with permission, public streets around Hillingdon Hospital and Pield Heath Road, and driveways in Hillingdon and Cowley. Not inside the hospital car parks, nor on the bus lanes through Uxbridge town centre.

The fitter needs room beside the wheel, a firm surface and a place for the van nearby. Ruislip and Northwood driveways are ideal. At Stockley Park, get the tenant's permission and use a bay that blocks nobody. In Uxbridge park legally in a marked bay rather than on yellow lines near Uxbridge station. Nobody moves the car, because the Hillingdon van carries its own tyre machine and balancing rig to wherever the wheel is.
The workshop comes to Stockley Park and Hillingdon Hospital; the car keeps its space until the tyre is on.
