Mobile tyre fitting

Barnfield lines the A6 as New Bedford Road heads north out of Luton and becomes Barton Road. Rescue Tyres sends a fitter carrying the replacement tyre to your drive, your street or the free car park at Wardown Park.
A fitter at your car
in Barnfield.
Barnfield's tyre calls follow the A6. New Bedford Road and Barton Road carry traffic between the middle of Luton and the country to the north, and a nail collected on them usually waits until the car is parked at home before making itself known. Stockingstone Road and Montrose Avenue, on the A5228, supply the rest. The car stays exactly where it is. Pass on the tyre size, printed on its sidewall, plus the address, and the tyre that matches it comes along.

Tyre work in Barnfield.
Here the decision between repair and replacement is made with the tyre in the fitter's hands. Once it is off the rim, the inside tells the story: a small hole in the central tread can take a repair that meets BS AU 159, while anything larger, or anything reaching the shoulder, calls for a new tyre in the right size. A blowout on the A6 is put right in a safe side street. When the locking nut key is nowhere to be found, the nut is still removed.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
Home drives do most of the work in Barnfield, with a legal space on a side road as the fallback. Wardown Park, with its free public parking, makes the obvious meeting ground for a car that will still drive a short way, parked well clear of the entrance so the damaged side is open. Any car park reserved for staff or students is private, and the fitter leaves it alone. New Bedford Road, Barton Road and the A5228 never double as a workspace.
Barnfield sits across the LU2 and LU3 boundary, and calls reach the fitter from its own homes and from Warden Hill, Biscot, Limbury and Round Green on either side. On the A6 itself there is no stretch where a car can safely be lifted, so a tyre that lets go on New Bedford Road is best nursed into the first residential turning. For a car that still drives, the free car park at Wardown Park offers far more open ground than any kerb along the main road. Anything signed for staff or students belongs to someone else and stays out of the picture. The town has no clean-air scheme to worry about either.

24 hours in Barnfield.
In Barnfield the late calls are mostly A6 drivers who felt the steering drag towards the kerb and turned off before it got worse. The line is staffed through the night. Whoever answers notes the street and the tyre size, then tells you in full what the visit comes to, and only then does the van leave.
