A fitter at your car
in Middleton Cheney.
With junction 11 so close, some calls here begin on the M40. A driver feels a tyre going, leaves the motorway at Banbury and reaches the village before it gives up completely. Others start on Banbury Lane or on the lanes to Chacombe and Thenford. In every case the car should stay where it is. Describe what the tyre looks like, quote the sidewall markings and postcode, and the van brings the right replacement or the repair kit.

Tyre work in Middleton Cheney.
An emergency replacement is often what is needed here, since a tyre that fails at speed is rarely worth saving. A matching tyre arrives in the van, the rim gets examined, and the wheel is balanced before refitting. Where the damage is a small hole in the tread, the tyre comes off and a patch and plug are fitted from inside, as BS AU 159 requires. A lost locking key is no obstacle. Weekends and the small hours are covered as well.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A drive is the working surface for almost every job in Middleton Cheney. It is level, it is off the road, and it leaves room for the wheel to be set down. Without one, a quiet close is the fallback, with the car square and its damaged side facing away from traffic. Banbury Lane itself is not suitable. Nor is any bend on the Chacombe lanes, where a stopped car sits in the way of whatever comes round it.
Although the village lies in Northamptonshire, its post comes through Banbury as OX17, which can send a satnav the wrong way, so the full postcode and house number matter more than the county. Calls come from homes in the village and the closes around it, and from the hamlets and villages close by: Thenford, Warkworth, Purston, Overthorpe, Nethercote, Chacombe, Marston St. Lawrence and Farthinghoe. Nearly all of it is drive work. With neither a public car park nor a railway station in the village, a car lacking private ground is seen to in a quiet close, never on the B4525. Nobody works on the M40 or on its junction, and the village carries no emissions charge.
