The tyre bay comes to the car. A van carrying tyre machine, wheel balancer and stock parks on a Langley terrace or a Brades Village drive and does the whole job at the kerb.
Plenty of Oldbury cars are in no state to be driven anywhere. A tyre shredded on the A4123, a bulge found on a Brades Village drive, a van on the canal-side units with a screw in a loaded rear tyre, a car at Sandwell and Dudley station sitting on its rim. Towing one of those round the ring road to a tyre bay costs money and time. The mobile fitting exists so that everything a workshop would use arrives at the kerb instead.
Parked alongside, the fitter jacks the car, lifts the wheel off, unseats the tyre on the van's machine, mounts a new one or patches the old, then balances the wheel and bolts it back on to the right torque. A level space with room beside the car is all Oldbury needs to provide, anywhere in B68 or B69. Message the size from the tyre wall, a photo and the street, and tyre, fitting and visit are quoted as one figure before the van leaves.
A drive in Brades Village or Causeway Green, a Rounds Green terrace with a van-sized gap, the yard of an Oldbury Road unit, the Portway Lifestyle Centre car park with permission. The private retail parks beside the ring road want the site's say-so first.

The job needs somewhere the van can stand next to the car, with room to work at the wheel and ground level enough for the jack. On the Rounds Green terraces that means a kerb gap; on Warley drives it is simpler. Private bays at the ring road retail sites need permission, and nobody's driveway should be blocked. The tyre machine and balancer are on board, so the Oldbury car stays exactly where it is, even with a wheel that will not turn.
The tyre workshop drives to Oldbury and your car stays where it is.
