This is Barton in Oxford, OX3, the estate at the Green Road Roundabout, where the Eastern By-pass comes up to meet the A40, and not one of the same-named places elsewhere. Rescue Tyres sets off with the right tyre already loaded.

Tyre trouble in Barton?

in Barton.
Barton sits where two trunk roads meet, and it shows in the tyre work. The A40 and the A4142 both feed the Green Road Roundabout, so a car that catches a pothole or a kerb on the approach tends to reach the estate before the pressure warning arrives. Then there is the ordinary business of parking tight on an estate road and scuffing a sidewall. Either way the vehicle is stationary in OX3 by the time you ring, which is how mobile fitting works best.

What we do in Barton
Tyre work in Barton.
A flat found on the estate is examined before anything is sold. Damage sitting in the repairable middle of the tread, and under 6 mm wide, is plugged and patched from within to the BS AU 159 standard and the wheel refitted. A tyre driven on while flat, or one with a torn sidewall, gets replaced like for like in size and specification. Burst tyres, locking nuts and 24 hour callouts are all covered across OX3.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Barton
Drives, bays and car parks.
Off street parking comes first, and Barton has plenty of it. A residential kerb is next, with the car straightened up and the van behind so the fitter works from the pavement side. A park and ride bay is level, firm tarmac and perfectly practical if the site is happy and your ticket stays valid. Slip roads, roundabout entries and anything within reach of moving traffic are all ruled out, whatever the weather is doing.
The estate spreads out from the Green Road Roundabout towards Risinghurst and Sandhills, with Headington Quarry and Old Headington on the Oxford side of it. Much of the housing has off street parking, or a kerb wide enough to work at, and that accounts for nearly every job. Thornhill park and ride is on the doorstep and makes a realistic meeting point for anybody who has driven in along the A40, although the site is run by its operator and the bays nearest the bus stands are the wrong end to choose. Shotover Trading Estate brings in the van and light commercial work. The roundabout approaches are no place to stop and neither is the by-pass.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Barton.
Night calls out of Barton tend to come from drivers back off the A40 who have been running on a soft tyre without knowing it, and from anybody heading out early who spots it on the drive. The phone gets answered whatever time it is, and the price is agreed before the call ends.

Barton FAQs
Questions from Barton.
Which Barton is this page about?
Barton in Oxford: the OX3 estate next to the Green Road Roundabout and Risinghurst, in Oxfordshire. The name is common up and down the country, so quote the full postcode when you ring and no fitter ends up heading for a different one.
Can you meet me at Thornhill park and ride?
Thornhill makes a practical meeting point, level and firm underfoot, so long as the operator is content with a van working on the site. Keep clear of the bus stands, make sure the ticket still has time on it, and send the row number.
Is a bulge in the sidewall worth repairing?
A bulge is broken cords under the rubber, usually the work of a kerb or a pothole, and nothing may be repaired on that part of a tyre. It has to be replaced. Photograph it, read out the size, and the right one comes out.
Do you cover the Shotover Trading Estate for work vans?
Commercial vehicles on the estate get the same mobile service, fitted in the yard where they stand rather than losing half a day off the road. Give the size and the load rating from the tyre wall, and mention whether the van is loaded.
