The van carries a full tyre bay: changer, balancer, torque wrench and stock. In Northampton it pulls up at a Duston drive, a Moulton Park unit or the Riverside car park, and the car stays as parked.
Moving a car with a ruined tyre across Northampton is harder than it sounds. The A45 and A43 are dual carriageways where limping is dangerous, the centre is covered by bus-lane cameras and permit schemes, and a tow to a depot costs time and money. Vans on Brackmills needing to get back on the road, cars at Weston Favell shopping centre, and drivers in Moulton or Upton without a spare all suit a service that brings the workshop instead.
What happens in a tyre bay happens in the van. Off comes the wheel; the changer unseats the bead and peels away the old tyre; the new one is levered on and seated with air; the balancer spins the wheel and the fitter adds weights until it runs true. The nuts are then torqued to the maker's figure. Give us the size, the registration and where the van can pull alongside.
The van needs a space beside the car: a drive in Duston or Hunsbury, an estate yard on Brackmills, or an outer row at Riverside or Weston Favell. A multi-storey level at the Grosvenor Centre has no room for it.

The van carries the tyre changer, balancer and stock, so the job needs only the right piece of ground. Pick a level space with room at the side of the wheel and a spot for the van nearby, without blocking a Brackmills loading bay or a neighbour's drive in Upton. Private bays at work are fine with permission, and a permit bay in Abington can work if the van can stop close. Multi-storey decks are unsuitable. Every step happens at the Northampton kerb, so the car stays where it is.
A changer, a balancer and your tyre, delivered to the kerb anywhere in Northampton.
