A garage bay on wheels: tyre changer, balancer, torque wrench and stock arrive at your Kingstanding drive in one van, while the car itself never budges.
A car with a pothole-wrecked tyre on a Hawthorn Road drive would ruin its rim on the way to a workshop, and a taxi flat off the Circle cannot earn while it waits. So the workshop comes to Kingstanding. In the van are a tyre changer, a compressor, a balancer, a torque wrench and the common sizes. Fitting at a Kingstanding kerb compromises none of it.
Jack up, wheel off, old tyre stripped, new tyre mounted, balanced, refitted and torqued to the maker's figure, new valve included: the sequence on a Kingstanding drive is the same as in a garage bay. Have the sidewall code and the street ready, and mention a cambered kerb if that is where the car is, since the drives here are level but some roadside spots are not. The cost is confirmed by phone before the van sets off.
Level drives and open kerbs across the estate, plus the Leisure Centre car park. Verges sink under a jack, the Circle's loading bays and the shop parades belong to deliveries, and the M6 slip roads are never used.

The fitter needs about a door's width clear beside the wheel, firm level ground under the jack, and space on the B44 road for the van close by. Kingstanding's semis usually have a drive that gives all three. At the kerb, choose a flat stretch without a steep camber, keep clear of a neighbour's dropped kerb and never use a grass verge, which will not hold a jack. Because the tyre changer travels to the Kingstanding semi, the car itself stays parked from start to finish.
The whole workshop arrives on your Kingstanding drive; the car does not go anywhere.
