A fitter at your car
in Cawston.
Much of Cawston is new housing, and new housing brings builders' traffic. Screws and offcuts from sites near the Western Relief Road turn up in tread, often noticed only when one corner of the car sits low in the morning. The B4642 along Coventry Road and Bilton Road accounts for the kerbed rims. Photograph the sidewall, message it over with your postcode, and a matching tyre travels out to the house with the fitter.

Tyre work in Cawston.
Most Cawston jobs are new tyres, balanced and bolted on beside the house, with the old tyre carted off. A site screw in the tread is often repairable, and when the hole is small enough and in the right place it is sealed on the inside to BS AU 159. A sidewall split means a new tyre instead. Burst tyres are replaced on the spot, and a stuck locking nut with no key is removed first.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
Your drive comes first, flat and out of the traffic. A parking court on the newer estates is fine when the flat corner has clearance and the neighbours can still get their own cars out. A residential road serves a car that will still drive a few hundred yards. The Relief Road verges are useless for this, and so is any stretch of the B4642 where a parked car would pinch the road for buses and through traffic.
Nearly every call from Cawston comes from a home. The estates spread off the B4642 and down towards the A4071, with Bilton, Long Lawford and Overslade close on the other sides, and the whole village falls in CV22. Driveways are common here, which makes most jobs straightforward. Some of the newer streets have shared parking courts and narrow shared surfaces, so say if the car sits in one and whether other drivers need to get past. The Western Relief Road is a through route with no safe place to stop beside it. For a working vehicle, the Lawford Heath Industrial Estate lies out to the west, and a yard there suits once the firm has been warned to expect the van.
