Tyre trouble in Headington Hill?

The first thing worth settling on a call from here is the postcode, because addresses a street apart fall into OX3 and OX4 and a wrong district sends a van to the other side of Headington. After that it is the usual story: a tyre that lost pressure overnight, a sidewall scuffed against a kerb while parking on Headington Road, or a van over on the Horspath Road estate with a slow leak nobody spotted until loading. Give the size and the full postcode and the right tyre comes out.

What we do in Headington Hill
Tyre work in Headington Hill.
Whatever the address turns out to be, the job list is the same. Tyres in the size the car was designed around, brought out and spun on the van balancer before they return to the hub. Tread damage judged with the casing off the wheel, then sealed from within to BS AU 159 where that is allowed. Sidewall failure and blow-outs handled as replacements. A wheel that cannot be undone because the locking key is missing, freed with an extractor. There is a voice on the phone overnight.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Headington Hill
Drives, bays and car parks.
Drives and private forecourts first, permit bays second, and for a van a yard on one of the trading estates, with whoever runs the site told in advance. The customer car park at Templars Shopping Park has room enough if the car can still be driven there; choose a space well clear of the doors and the trolley returns. No public car park sits inside this pocket, so there is no point hunting one out. Streets that carry through traffic are out.
Work here comes off three sorts of address. There are the houses and flats on and just behind Headington Road, where parking is controlled and a car often sits on a permit bay rather than a drive. There is the Gipsy Lane Estate and Highfield behind it, quieter streets with more off-road parking. And there are working vehicles on the trading estates out towards Shotover and Horspath Road, which usually have a yard and are the easiest of the lot. A permit bay suits a fitter well enough provided the bay belongs to you and the car is not overhanging the running lane. Off the list altogether are the carriageway of Headington Road itself and any spot on Windmill Road or The Slade where a jacked car would sit in moving traffic.

Headington Hill FAQs
Questions from Headington Hill.
Is Headington Hill in OX3 or OX4?
Both districts reach into this area, so the full postcode counts for more than the street when you book. Read it out exactly as it appears on a letter, with the house number, and the fitter lands on the right side of Headington Road.
Can a wheel be changed while the car is on a permit bay?
That is normal here. The bay must be one you are allowed to occupy, and the car needs to sit square in it so the jack is not working into the traffic. Tell the fitter the bay is a permit one so the van parks sensibly.
Are the industrial estates around here somewhere you will attend a van?
Horspath Road Industrial Estate, City Works and the Shotover Trading Estate all suit a mobile fitting, since there is hard standing under the wheels and space beside the vehicle. Square it with whoever controls the gate, then pass on the unit and the size off the tyre.
My car will not move. Does it have to get to a garage?
It does not need to go anywhere. Everything needed to change or repair a tyre travels in the van, including wheel balancing, so the car is worked on where it stopped. What has to come from you is the location, the tyre size and which corner of the car has failed.
