Back from a Bicester Village shopping day to find the car sagging in the station car park, or up early to one on a Langford Village drive? Hands off that tyre until the fitter inspects it.
Few people notice these flats forming. A Kingsmere screw lets a tyre empty overnight, a commuter walks out of Bicester North to see a wheel sitting on its rim, or a shopper returns to the Pioneer Square car park to a corner slumped low. Any drive on it, even across town to a garage, crushes the wall from inside and can turn a patchable hole into a scrapped tyre.
Leave everything and phone with the size, where the car sits and whether there is a locking nut or a space-saver already on. The cause is found at the car, and the decision made there: a patch-plug when the hole lies in the repairable band, a new tyre if the wall has suffered. The Bicester figure is agreed on the phone before anyone leaves NW2.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Bicester page
A flat on the drive back from Oxford past Yarnton should not be dealt with on the open road. Turn off towards Worton or into the OX29 streets of the village and stop where the car sits fully clear of traffic. Get out on the safe side, keep away from moving vehicles, and call us with the street name.
Before calling about a flat in Bicester, crouch by the other three tyres; they show whether this is one puncture or something wider, such as Kingsmere building debris picked up on several. Then check the flat for a screw, a perished valve or scuffing from a Skimmingdish Lane kerb. Pumping it and driving to a garage risks the casing, as a tyre that sat empty can fail once reinflated. A space-saver is temporary at best. Leave it on the Kingsmere drive or in its Pioneer Square bay.
