The workshop comes to Sparkbrook in the back of a van: tyre changer, wheel balancer, compressor and the tyre itself. The car stays on Henley Street and the whole job happens beside it.
Mobile fitting means the entire process, not just a wheel swap. The van carries a tyre changer to lever the old bead free and seat its replacement, a wheel balancer with clip-on weights, a torque wrench set to the manufacturer's figure, and stock in the common sizes. In Sparkbrook that lets a terrace off Stoney Lane, a Highgate estate road or a restaurant yard in the Balti Triangle serve as the workshop, with no trip across the Middleway into the Clean Air Zone.
Say where the car is and send the size from the sidewall. The fitter pulls up as close as the terrace allows, carries the kit to the car if the van cannot get alongside, and works on the pavement side where possible. Wheel removed, old casing levered from the rim, new one mounted, inflated, balanced, refitted and torqued, then the old tyre goes in the van. The price for the tyre and the visit is agreed by phone before the van leaves.
Anywhere in Sparkbrook the car can be jacked level with room for the van's kit: Walford Road and the terraces off it, the streets around Farm Park, yards off Ladypool Road. Not in a live bay on Ladypool Road and not on the A34.

The changer and balancer want a clear patch of ground next to the wheel, plus level tarmac under the jack so it lifts the car without tilting. Sparkbrook's terraces are parked on both sides, so a gap next to the car or a quiet corner by Farm Park helps. A restaurant's rear yard is private ground, so ask the owner first. The van must not hold up a delivery on Ladypool Road or block a neighbour. With every tool on board, the car stays exactly where it stands.
