A fitter at your car
in Holywell.
Holywell sits where central Oxford hands over to the roads out to Headington. The A420 picks up at St Clements Street and London Place and runs on as Headington Road, and a good share of the tyre damage here is collected on that stretch and only noticed once the car is parked. The rest is kerb damage picked up manoeuvring into bays. Read us the sidewall size along with the OX1 or OX3 postcode, and the correct tyre goes aboard ahead of the journey.

Tyre work in Holywell.
A wheel here comes off, goes on the balancer and goes back, all beside the car. Punctures in the tread get an internal repair to BS AU 159, provided the injury lies inside what that standard allows. Tyres too far gone for that are replaced in the correct size, balanced and torqued to the manufacturer's figure. A burst tyre gets the rim inspected before a new one is fitted. Locking nuts with missing keys are removed and standard ones go on. The line stays open overnight, all week.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
Private ground behind a building is the best surface in Holywell, given the go-ahead from whoever controls it. A controlled bay off one of the smaller streets serves, where there is room alongside the car to work in. Gloucester Green Car Park and Union Street Car Park take a car that still drives, both flat and open enough for a jack. The City Works units take vans. Iffley Road, St Clements Street and Headington Road are through routes and no use at all.
Calls come from the streets between Holywell and St Clement's, from Wadham Park and the New Marston side, and from addresses that could fairly be given as either OX1 or OX3. Parking is the constraint rather than access. These are controlled streets, so the fitter wants the bay type, the street name and whether anything is parked tight up behind the car. Where a building has ground of its own, a word with whoever runs it settles the matter. Union Street Car Park and Gloucester Green Car Park are the public options, and Oxford station is about a mile off for anyone catching a train. What will not serve is St Clements Street, The Plain or the A420 on towards Headington Road, all of which run traffic all day.
