Stranded in Chesterton, on a Bure Park street or in the Pioneer Square car park? The Bicester car stays put while the van brings the whole workshop to it.
Driving a car with a failed tyre across Bicester to a garage makes little sense. From Kingsmere the trip on a damaged tyre ruins the wheel, and villages such as Chesterton, Launton and Ambrosden lie further out. Waiting for a tow can eat most of a day. Bringing the full fitting kit to wherever the car already stands is the obvious answer, and that is exactly what the van is set up for.
The Bicester van carries its own tyre bay: changer, balancer, compressor and torque wrench, with common sizes on board. Up goes the car on its jack right where it stopped, the wheel is unbolted, and the tyre is swapped, balanced and bolted back to the specified torque. The car itself never moves. Share the size and location on the call and the price is set in advance.
Bicester's estates have no permit parking, so kerbside fitting is simple. Pioneer Square and Bicester North car parks are fine with a ticket. On Graven Hill the van wants a finished road, not a gravel plot.

Space decides where a Bicester fitting happens. Next to the failed wheel there has to be clear ground for jacking and handling the tyre, the surface should be level, and the van must sit without shutting in a drive, junction or footpath. Estate streets in Bure Park and Langford Village usually give that without permits, and Bicester North suits a bay with an empty neighbour. Graven Hill plots need a firm road nearby. With the machine and balancer onboard, the car itself never moves.
The workshop drives to Bicester. Phone 07473 720871 and leave the car where it is.
