The car does not go to a tyre bay; the tyre bay comes to the car. In Stevenage the van arrives with its fitting machine, wheel balancer and stock, and the work ends on your drive.
Moving a car with a failed tyre in Stevenage is often harder than fixing it. A car in a Pin Green garage court may be hemmed in, one on a Symonds Green drive cannot be driven on a wrecked tyre, and a works van at a Gunnels Wood Road unit is needed back on the road, not on a tow truck. Bringing the full workshop to wherever it stands avoids all of that.
The van carries a changer for demounting and mounting, a balancer, lifting gear, a torque wrench and a selection of the usual sizes. Say where the car is parked, what size is on the tyre, and whether there is space beside it. The price is confirmed by phone. In the garage court the wheel is lifted clear, its tyre replaced and balanced, then bolted home at the specified torque, and the car never leaves its spot.
Stevenage suits it: garage courts, service roads and the free car parks in each neighbourhood let the van stop beside the car. The exceptions are the Westgate multi-storey and the station car park barriers, and the A1(M) itself.

The job itself needs level ground beside the wheel, room for a trolley jack and for the tyre to be rolled to the van, and a stopping place that leaves each neighbour's access open. Stevenage garage courts and service roads in Bedwell and Symonds Green were laid out with that sort of space. A private or permit bay suits too, once whoever controls it says yes. Nothing gets driven to a workshop, since SG1 and SG2 visits bring the changer and balancer along in the van.
