No tow to a Kettering depot, no wheel carried on the back seat. The van arrives as a working tyre bay, and every step is done beside the car in Burton Latimer or on Telford Way.
Getting a stranded car to a workshop in Kettering is its own problem. A car with a ruined tyre in a Telford Way staff bay cannot be driven, a recovery truck costs more than the tyre, and a busy Burton Latimer centre has nowhere for a truck to load anyway. For many drivers there is no spare, just an inflator kit that will not seal a wall. So the workshop has to travel to the Kettering street instead.
Inside the van is everything a Kettering tyre bay would hold: the machine that strips and seats tyres, a spin balancer, onboard air, torque tools and racks of the usual sizes. The car is raised on the spot and the wheel goes to the van, where the tyre is fitted and balanced before the wheel returns, torqued to the maker's figure. Nothing is towed or moved. Give us the size and the spot in NN14, NN15 or NN16, and the whole price is agreed up front.
The van needs room alongside the car: a Burton Latimer drive, a wide Pipers Hill road, a yard at Telford Way or Pytchley Lodge, or a Northfield Avenue retail bay. Not the Newlands multi-storey, and never the A14.

About emergency mobile tyre fitting nationwide → · Emergency mobile tyre fitting on the Kettering page
A Kettering fit wants a strip of level ground beside the wheel for the jack and space for the fitter to carry the wheel to the van. On a sloping drive, mention it, and the car is chocked or the work set up on a flatter part. Private bays at Telford Way or Pytchley Lodge work once the site agrees, and a permit bay near the station is fine with its details. The van should block no gateway, and the car itself never has to be driven.
The tyre bay comes to your Kettering street. Send the size and the car's location.
