Stourbridge has a ring road, two stations and a hospital, but the tyre bay that matters is the one in the van: changer, balancer, compressor and stock, brought to wherever the car stopped.
A car on its rim at Stourbridge Junction, a van with a shredded tyre in a Stambermill yard, a family car in Wollaston that cannot be driven onto the A491: each needs the whole job done in place. Inside the van are the bead breaker and mounting head, the wheel balancer, a compressor, a jack fit for a loaded van and stock in family and van sizes; the unusual sizes come from the Brent Cross unit on the way. No ramp, no pit, no towing.
Where the car stands in Stourbridge, it is jacked, the wheel removed, the old tyre peeled off, the new one mounted and seated, balanced with weights on the rim and refitted, the nuts torqued to the manufacturer's setting. Tell us the sidewall size, whether it is a Norton drive, a Lye street or a Junction bay, and if the ground slopes; the glass quarter's streets are narrow and a level space helps. The whole figure is confirmed on the call.
Any drive or kerb with a van's length beside it in Oldswinford, Pedmore, Wollaston, Norton, Wordsley or Wollescote; the Junction with its operator's agreement; Lye and Amblecote yards. Not the A491 loop, and not the Ryemarket without its operator.

For a Stourbridge fitting there must be working room at the affected wheel and firm, flat ground so the jack stays true. Drives in Norton and Pedmore usually give both. In the glass quarter's narrow streets, leave space for other cars to pass. Private bays at the Junction or Corbett Hospital work once the operator or parking office agrees. The van parks close by with its changer and balancer, so your car does not move an inch.
The tyre bay comes to Stourbridge in a van; your car does not go anywhere.
