A tyre change vehicle includes a storage compartment (14) which includes a tyre changer (25), wheel balancer (26) and wheel alignment machine (27). A gate (35) is pivotally mounted at the rear of the vehicle and mounts a hoist (45). The gate (35) can be moved from an upright position to a lowered position by hydraulic rams so that a car can be driven up onto the gate (35) above the hoist (45). The hoist (45) lifts the car above the gate (35) so that the wheels can be removed to facilitate change of a tyre and replacement of the wheels on the car. Levelling rams (70) are provided beneath the floor (16). A canopy extends rearward of the vehicle to the gate (35) when the gate (35) is in the upright position, and awnings are provided in the canopy for sliding outwardly of the canopy. A slidable but fixed ramp (49) and a completely removable ramp (51) are provided in the gate (35).
