The workshop drives to you in Tower Hamlets: a van carrying the tyre changer, the wheel balancer and a stock of sizes, so an Isle of Dogs car is fitted at its bay and never moves.
Getting a car with a dead tyre from an Isle of Dogs tower to a garage means a recovery truck through Aspen Way traffic and a ramp most flatbeds cannot get down. The alternative is to bring the garage to the basement. Everything a fixed fitting bay has is on the van: a changer to break the bead and seat the replacement, a wheel balancer, torque wrench, compressor and a range of common sizes, so nothing about the job depends on the car going anywhere.
Message the sidewall marking and the exact spot to 07473 720871, and say if it is a basement, an estate car park or a street bay. The fitter confirms the tyre, the fitting price and a realistic arrival time on the call. At the car the wheel is lifted, the old tyre stripped off and the new one mounted, balanced and torqued on the spot, with the waste tyre loaded into the van. From a Bow estate to Canada Square, the car stays put where you parked it.
Isle of Dogs and Canary Wharf basements where the height limit allows a van, estate car parks in Bow and Poplar, Wapping and Limehouse resident bays, and side streets in Bethnal Green. Red routes such as Aspen Way and the A13 are out.

The fitter needs roughly a door's width clear alongside the wheel and a surface close to level, since the jack and the tyre machine both sit next to the car. A Bow estate car park or a private bay under a Canary Wharf building usually offers that; uneven Wapping cobbles take more care. The van parks where it blocks nobody's garage or bin store, and your car does not budge from its bay throughout. Mention bollards, barriers or tight turns on the way in.
The tyre workshop comes to the bay in Tower Hamlets; the car does not move.
