When a Hodge Hill car cannot be driven, the workshop comes to it: tyre machine, balancer and tyres brought to the drive, parking court or The Fort Shopping Park.
Some Hodge Hill cars are stranded. One sits on its rim in a Firs estate court after a slow puncture. Another has a sidewall bulge on a drive near Hodge Hill Common. A third made it off Fort Parkway into The Fort car park with a shredded tyre. Towing any of them adds delay and expense, so bringing the equipment to the car is the practical fix.
Packed into the van: the machine that pulls tyres off and seats new ones, a balancing rig, a torque wrench, a jack sized for your car and the popular fitments. We need the size code, where the car is parked and whether the ground is flat. The damaged wheel is lifted clear, the tyre swapped on the machine and balanced right beside the car, then bolted home to the maker's setting. Nothing leaves the Firs court or the drive, and the price is agreed first.
The changer and balancer need firm, level ground: a drive off Coleshill Road, a tarmac court under the Bromford blocks, or a bay at The Fort Shopping Park. Grass verges, slopes and Fort Parkway itself are not suitable.

Everything needed for the tyre travels to Hodge Hill, but the van still needs somewhere to stop. Aim for a clear space alongside the affected wheel, a firm level surface for the jack, and no residents boxed in; a Bromford court works when the van can pull beside the car. Private bays at Fort Dunlop need permission first. Grass and slopes are out. The car stays put throughout, so a vehicle that cannot be driven is no obstacle.
