Cutteslowe sits where the A40 Elsfield Way meets the Cutteslowe Roundabout, with Banbury Road dropping down towards Oxford. A Rescue Tyres fitter turns up carrying the tyre, a jack and a balancer, and the car never moves.

Tyre trouble in Cutteslowe?

Almost everything that goes wrong with a tyre in OX2 happens within half a mile of a roundabout. Cars leave the A40 at Cutteslowe or Wolvercote, catch a kerb on the way round, and the sidewall shows a bulge by the time they are back on Banbury Road. Others carry a screw home from North Way and lose the pressure overnight. Either way the car can stay put: pass on the code round the sidewall, and the right size is aboard the van before it pulls away.

What we do in Cutteslowe
Tyre work in Cutteslowe.
The full range travels on this van: budget names, mid-range names and premium names, in run-flat, four wheel drive, van, electric, performance, winter and all-season fitments, chosen to match the code moulded into the tyre you are replacing. A tread puncture is demounted, examined from within and patched to BS AU 159 where the injury allows it. One that has given out is replaced outright, and the rim is read over before that wheel returns to the car. Missing locking nut keys are no obstacle. The line stays covered at every hour of the night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Cutteslowe
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive at the house is the straightforward answer in OX2, and most of Cutteslowe has one. Where there is not, a residential side street serves, so long as the vehicle is parked straight. The two park and rides at Peartree and Water Eaton give a jack the space it needs. The pay and display at Alexandra Courts suits a car that got that far under its own power. Forecourts at the Tesco Express, the Sainsbury's Local and the Marks & Spencer Food belong to the operator, so ask before arranging to meet anybody on one.
Calls come from the streets between Banbury Road and the Northern By-pass Road, from houses backing onto Elsfield Way, and from drivers who quit the A40 at the Peartree Roundabout rather than carry on. Summertown, Upper Wolvercote, Water Eaton and Marston are all a short run away and ring the same number. Parking is largely off street, so a driveway takes the bulk of the work and nothing needs moving. What does not serve is the roundabout approach itself: Cutteslowe and Wolvercote carry traffic that does not stop, and there is no standing room beside either. Peartree Park and Ride and Water Eaton Park and Ride are level tarmac with wide bays, which is what a jack asks for, and the ticket simply keeps running while the wheel is off.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Cutteslowe.
Late ringing in OX2 comes from two directions. One is a driver home off the A40 who steps out next morning to a wheel sitting on its rim. The other is somebody due at Oxford Parkway early who cannot wait for a garage to open. Either gets a live voice at any hour, a stock check on the size, and a total agreed before anybody pulls out of Brent Cross.

Cutteslowe FAQs
Questions from Cutteslowe.
Can you fit a tyre at Peartree Park and Ride?
Those bays are wide and the surface under them is firm, which is exactly what a jack wants. Park away from the bus stands, tell the fitter which row the car is in, and leave the ticket running until the job is finished.
Is Cutteslowe inside any clean air charging zone?
Oxford's Zero Emission Zone reaches only a handful of city centre streets, and none of them is out here. Nothing is payable in OX2 on that account, and a vehicle standing still with a wheel removed attracts no charge under any such scheme.
Something went into the tyre on Elsfield Way. Where should I stop?
Come off at the Cutteslowe Roundabout onto a side street, or carry on to your own drive, rather than halting on the A40 itself. Once the car is somewhere still, pass on the sidewall code and tell the fitter how much air is left in it.
Do you come out to Summertown and Wolvercote as well?
Both are on the round, along with Water Eaton, Marston, Park Town and North Oxford. The van sets out from Brent Cross, so ring or message 07473 720871 and an honest idea of when to expect it comes back on that same call.
