The workshop drives to Sparkhill. Machine, balancer, compressor and the tyre itself come out on the van, and the work gets finished beside the car on Wharfdale Road or in a Tyseley yard.
A wrecked tyre on a street near Tyseley station or by Sparkhill Park means the car is not driving anywhere, and a tow up the Stratford Road costs more than the tyre. Sparkhill suits mobile fitting: the yards off the Warwick Road have room for the van beside the vehicle, the terraces are handled by stopping a few doors down and carrying the wheel to the machine, and the rear service roads behind the A34 shops keep the job off the red route. The vehicle stays where it stopped.
Send a pin, the sidewall size and a picture if there is one. Parked where the street or yard allows, the fitter jacks the vehicle, removes the old tyre from the rim using the van's machine, mounts the replacement, and finishes with balancing and torquing. Nothing is taken elsewhere to be finished. Tyre, fitting and the visit to B11 are one cost, agreed on the call; the old tyre is disposed of.
Anywhere in Sparkhill the van can get within carrying distance: Wharfdale Road and the streets by Tyseley station, the roads around Sparkhill Park, Springfield, the yards at the back of the Stratford Road shops and the Greet units. The A34 red route is the exception.

The job needs room around the wheel. In Sparkhill that means a car on a Springfield terrace with a small gap beside it, a van in a yard with space to kneel at the axle, or a shop's rear service road. The ground should be level, and a permit or private bay is fine with permission. The van must not block a neighbour, a gate or the red route. Machine and balancer arrive with the fitter, so the vehicle stays exactly where it is.
Sparkhill mobile tyre fitting: everything happens in the yard or on the terrace, and the vehicle stays put.
