Tyre trouble in Littlemore?
A fitter at your car
A fitter at your car
in Littlemore.
A flat on a working vehicle is a different problem from a flat on a family car, and Littlemore produces plenty of the first. A van that picks something up on the A4158 Oxford Road or round the Littlemore Roundabout cannot simply be left until the weekend. The answer is the same either way, though: the vehicle does not have to reach a fitter, because the fitter reaches it. Send the size off the sidewall, name the estate or the street, and say whether the tyre still holds anything.

What we do in Littlemore
Tyre work in Littlemore.
New tyres are ordered off the codes printed round the tyre coming off, from budget names up to premium, and run-flat, van and electric sizes are handled like anything else. BS AU 159 governs which punctures can be saved, so the tyre is broken down and read from the inside before anything gets decided. A tyre that has torn itself open is swapped out and the rim examined. Locking wheel nuts are taken off when the key is lost. Somebody covers the phone at all hours, seven days a week.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Littlemore
Drives, bays and car parks.
The best surface in Littlemore is an estate yard with the site's agreement: flat, wide and away from moving traffic. After that a driveway at home, which is where most car jobs end up. Failing both, a residential side road does, with the car left straight to the kerb and clear of a corner. Bays at the Sainsbury's, the Co-op Food, the Lidl and the Tesco Superstore are store property and need clearing first. No public car park is listed anywhere in this pocket of OX4.
Calls out of this part of OX4 arrive in two shapes. Trade calls from the Nuffield Trade and Industrial Park, City Works, the Horspath Road Industrial Estate and Sandford Lane, where a wheel can usually be lifted in the unit's own yard once the site manager has been told to expect somebody. Domestic calls from the streets between Rose Hill and Littlemore Park, and from Iffley, Church Cowley, Florence Park and Sandford-on-Thames nearby. Retail ground at Oxford Retail Park and Templars Shopping Park belongs to the operator rather than the public, so meeting there is a request and not a plan. The A4142 Eastern Bypass and the Heyford Hill Roundabout are no place to halt, and a car on the B4495 Church Cowley Road wants moving to a side street before a jack goes near it.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Littlemore.
After dark in Littlemore it is mostly working vehicles: a driver loading early on the Horspath Road estate who finds a rear tyre down, or a taxi off the A4142 that will not take another fare on what it is running. Ring and somebody answers, checks the size against what is aboard, and puts a figure on the job before ending the call.

Littlemore FAQs
Questions from Littlemore.
Will you come to a van on the Nuffield Trade and Industrial Park?
Estate yards are good working ground and a van is straightforward on one. Clear the site with whoever manages it, park with an empty side, and give the unit number along with the size and whether it is a single or twin rear wheel.
Is there a public car park in Littlemore you could meet me at?
None is listed in this part of OX4. The parking around Templars Shopping Park and Oxford Retail Park belongs to those operators, and the supermarket bays belong to the stores, so the realistic options are a drive, a side street or an estate yard.
Can my puncture be repaired, or am I buying a new tyre?
Position decides it. Damage inside the tread area, within the limits BS AU 159 lays down, is repaired from the inner face and the wheel is refitted to the vehicle. Damage reaching the shoulder or the sidewall puts the tyre beyond repair, and there is no arguing with that.
Do you cover Rose Hill, Iffley and Sandford-on-Thames too?
Those sit within a mile or so and fall on the same run, along with Littlemore Park and Church Cowley. Ring or message 07473 720871, quote the postcode and what is moulded on the sidewall, and you will hear when the van can reach you.
