Mobile tyre fitting
in Chinnor.

A fitter at your car
in Chinnor.

Chinnor is big enough that most of its tyre work is ordinary household stuff: a nail collected somewhere on the B4009 that gives up three days later on the drive, a wheel kerbed on a school run, a car left standing a fortnight that has quietly gone down on one corner. None of that requires moving the car at all. Read out the sidewall size with the OX39 address, and your tyre is aboard by the time the van pulls away.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Drives do most of it. Level tarmac at the house beats everything else, because the car need not move and nobody stands in a road. The High Street car park is the public option for a car that has been driven in, with space to take a wheel off and lay it down. White's Field and the station parking work on the same terms. What is not usable is the verge of Lower Icknield Way, or a bend on one of the lanes out to Henton, where a fitter would have nowhere to stand clear of passing traffic.

Calls spread right across OX39. The estates off Oakley Road and Crowell Road are the bulk of them, houses with drives and open kerbside, and room enough for the van to stand alongside. The High Street car park takes anyone whose car will still drive, and there is parking at the station off Station Road and at White's Field. Outside the village the addresses thin into Crowell, Henton, Kingston Blount, Emmington, Sydenham, Bledlow and Hempton Wainhill, reached by lanes with nowhere to stop on. The B4009 through the middle is a through road, not a working surface, so turn off it first. Nothing in this corner of Oxfordshire carries a clean-air charge.
