The tyre work in UB8 divides neatly. South of the High Street it is residential: drives, semis, family cars and the screw that shows up as a soft tyre one morning. North of it, towards Uxbridge, the traffic is heavier and the damage is usually impact, a pothole or a kerb taken at the wrong angle on the A4020 Hillingdon Road. Both end the same way. Read the size off the sidewall, ring it through with the postcode, and the tyre travels out on the van.

What we do in Cowley
Tyre work in Cowley.
Tyre and wheel work is the whole of it, done at the car. A new cover is specified off the code on the old one, with everyday, middle and premium makes obtainable, and run-flat, SUV, van, electric, performance and winter patterns available. Tread punctures are taken off the wheel, looked at from within and sealed from behind where BS AU 159 permits. Tyres that have burst are exchanged, the rim gone over first. Locking nuts are released when the key has vanished. Wheel alignment is not done, and part-worn tyres are never stocked.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Cowley
Drives, bays and car parks.
The drive at the house comes first, and Cowley has more of them than the districts nearer the station. Where there is no frontage, a side street off Cowley Road works, with the car parked straight and space to open the tailgate. Industrial yards off the Uxbridge Industrial Park suit vans, given the occupier's agreement. The bays around the civic offices and the multi-storeys in Uxbridge town centre are not suitable, being controlled, tight and busy all day.
Callers are usually on the streets between Cowley Road and Pield Heath, on the roads towards Cowley Peachey and Uxbridge Moor, or at one of the units on the Uxbridge Industrial Park. Most houses have a frontage of some sort, which is the simplest place for the wheel to come off, and a quiet residential kerb does the job where there is not one. Around Uxbridge station and the civic buildings the parking is controlled and busy, so that is a poor place to arrange a fitting. So are the A408 and the A4007 themselves. Cowley falls inside the ULEZ as every Hillingdon address does, and unlike its namesake in Oxford there is no zero emission zone on top.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Cowley.
Cowley's night calls are a mix: hospital and warehouse shifts around Hillingdon, students with cars parked near Brunel University London, and householders who walk out to a flat before an early start. Somebody picks up in the small hours just as readily as at midday, the size is confirmed, and the cost is settled first.

Cowley FAQs
Questions from Cowley.
Is this Cowley in Oxford or Cowley in west London?
The west London one, in UB8 beside Uxbridge and inside the Hillingdon borough. The Oxford district of the same name is a long way off the patch. Read out the postcode with the tyre size when you ring and there is no doubt about it.
Can you fit tyres on a drive in UB8 on a Sunday?
Sunday is a working day here, and so is every other day of the week. A drive in Cowley could not be simpler to work on: nothing has to be moved, the wheel comes off, and the scrap casing leaves on the van.
I am near Uxbridge station with a flat. Can you meet me there?
Town centre parking there is controlled and tight, which makes it awkward ground. Roll down towards Cowley Road or into a residential turning off it and the fitter has room to work properly. Tell us the street name when you ring.
A tyre has gone on the M40 near junction 1. What should I do?
Get clear of the motorway first. A jack never comes out on a hard shoulder, nor in a refuge area, so leave at the Denham Roundabout and pick an ordinary road on the Cowley side to wait on. Should the car refuse to move, National Highways on 0300 123 5000 sorts the recovery.
