If a tyre has gone down in the Oxford Parkway car park, if the site agrees, or outside a Yarnton house, leave the car there; a fitter comes out and makes the call on patching or replacing beside it.
Flat tyres in Kidlington show up at inconvenient moments: coming back to the Water Eaton car park after a day in London, returning to a long-stay bay at London Oxford Airport, or stepping out of the door in Islip on a Monday. The temptation is to creep to a garage up the Banbury Road. Every yard driven on a flat grinds the tyre's sidewall against itself, and a nail hole that was fixable ends up scrapping the tyre.
Let the car sit and ring with its location and the size from the tyre. The fitter arrives, lifts the wheel, finds the cause and inspects the inside of the casing. Should the hole be clean, in the tread and not driven on, BS AU 159 allows a repair; if the lining is chewed or the damage reaches the shoulder, the fitter swaps in a new tyre. Either way, the cost is agreed first.
On run-flat tyres? They behave differently once deflated, so check the handbook's limits and read our page on run-flat tyres; we fit replacement run-flat tyres at the car in Kidlington as well.

Station and park and ride bays at Oxford Parkway and Water Eaton work with a valid ticket. A drive or residential kerb anywhere in OX5 is fine. A tyre that goes flat on the A34 itself means recovery off the carriageway before we can help.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Kidlington page
Feeling a tyre go soft as you come in from Cassington towards the Peartree Roundabout? Slow down, signal and pull into the Peartree Park and Ride rather than driving on with it. Put the hazards on, move passengers to the kerbside and look at how low that tyre has sunk. Then ring with the bay row and the registration, and dig out the locking wheel nut key.
Walk round the whole car before calling. Two soft tyres in the long-stay off Langford Lane hint at more than one stray nail. On the deflated one, hunt for embedded metal, a perished valve or new kerb rash, and say which turns up. If a space saver lives in the boot, treat it as a short-hop spare with its own lower limit, never an answer for the A34. With the operator's agreement, leaving the car in its airport bay beats creeping it towards the Kidlington roundabout.
