Walked back to the car at Long Hanborough station or the Windrush Leisure Centre and found a flat tyre? In Witney, do not drive it; call, and the fitter comes out to you.
Flats catch Witney drivers in all sorts of places: a car left on a Newland street overnight, a bay at Witney Community Hospital after visiting, the Windrush Leisure Centre bays after an evening swim, or the station at Long Hanborough after the Oxford train. The first instinct is to limp to a tyre place across town. Driving on a flat, even for half a mile, destroys the sidewall and removes the chance of a repair.
Keep the car where it is. Ring with the location, a note of whether the tyre is completely flat or just soft, and the size from the sidewall. Off comes the wheel, the leak is traced and the tyre's lining examined. A tread puncture in good condition gets a BS AU 159 repair; anything else gets a replacement, with the cost confirmed on the phone before arrival.
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 Witney as well.
Once you have rung, we can also cover broken tyre replacement in Witney, 24 hour tyre service in Witney and emergency tyre replacement.
Surface car parks at Windrush Leisure Centre, Witney Community Hospital and Long Hanborough station are good spots where the operator allows it. Kerbs in Curbridge, Eynsham and Freeland are fine. If the tyre went flat at speed on the A40, recovery off the bypass comes first.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Witney page
A tyre going flat on Oxford Hill (B4022), where traffic keeps moving, is no place to stop. Ease up, keep to the left and turn into a residential street around Church End or High Cogges before pulling over. On level ground, set the hazards and the handbrake, then call with the street name. Avoid driving any distance on a fully deflated tyre, because the casing breaks down inside.
Flat on a Newland street in the morning? Check the other three first, since several soft tyres rarely come from one nail. Next, study the deflated tyre for a screw, a split or loose valve, or a kerb scrape. Driving it to a tyre place across Witney wrecks the casing before you reach Bridge Street. A space saver, if carried, is a stopgap wheel limited in speed and no friend of the bypass. Otherwise leave it at the Newland kerb.
