Mobile tyre fitting
in Jericho.

A fitter at your car
in Jericho.

An address in Jericho can be OX2 or OX1 depending on the street, which matters more to a delivery driver than to a tyre, but it is worth saying when you ring. The trouble itself is ordinary enough: a screw picked up somewhere on the A420 Botley Road or Hythe Bridge Street that lets the pressure down overnight, or a wheel that has taken a kerb on the way into a bay. Quote the size off the sidewall together with the street, and the job is done on the spot the car occupies.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Walton Well Road Car Park is the practical answer in Jericho for a car that will still carry itself a short distance, since it has the open, level tarmac the job wants. A permit bay works where the neighbours have left a gap. A private space or a courtyard behind a building is better again, if you have the use of one. Worcester Street and Gloucester Green, both public car parks, are within reach for a car left in town. Hythe Bridge Street and Botley Road are unusable at any hour.

Most of what comes in from Jericho is street parking, and street parking here is controlled. Residential bays are for permit holders much of the day, so the fitter needs to know which the car is on: permit bay, visitor bay or pay-and-display space, and how much room there is in front of it. Off-street space is scarce, which makes Walton Well Road Car Park the useful fallback: close, public, and with room to get a wheel off properly. Beyond that, Hythe Bridge Street, Frideswide Square and the A420 take traffic on into the centre, and not one of those is somewhere to stop. St Thomas', Oxpens and Binsey are all a short run away.
