New Botley is the OX2 strip along West Way, a short run from the Botley Interchange where the A34 crosses the A420 Botley Road. The Rescue Tyres van carries the tyre to the car and the work happens exactly where it stopped.

Two kinds of call come out of New Botley. One is somebody back at Seacourt Park and Ride after a day in town, finding a tyre flat in the bay. The other is a resident on one of the OX2 streets off West Way who has picked something up on the Botley Road. Neither has to move the car. Sidewall size, row number or street name, and a tyre to match is stowed aboard before anything leaves the Brent Cross base.

What we do in New Botley
Tyre work in New Botley.
Most New Botley jobs open with a size read off the sidewall and close with a balanced wheel torqued back on, kerbside or in a bay. A puncture in the tread is judged off the wheel rather than through it: the tyre is broken down, the liner read, and a BS AU 159 repair goes in if the hole qualifies. Sidewall damage does not qualify and never will. A car flat with no spare aboard, or a wheel locked on by a nut whose key vanished years ago, is worth a call at any hour.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in New Botley
Drives, bays and car parks.
Seacourt Park and Ride is the best working surface in New Botley: level tarmac, bays wide enough to kneel beside a wheel, and nobody squeezing past. Choose a space well back from the bus stands, keep the ticket running and give the row number. A drive at home is every bit as good and the car stays put. A kerbside bay serves where the street allows a body's width on the offside. Off the list entirely are the Botley Interchange, the A34 and any part of the A420 carriageway.
The addresses that ring are the residential streets off West Way, the flats nearer the Botley Road, and the units on the Curtis Industrial Estate. Oxford station is a little over a mile away, close enough that people leave a car in New Botley and walk, which is how a slow puncture gets a whole day to empty itself. Parking is mixed: resident bays in places, unrestricted in others, and that difference decides where the van can stand, which is worth a sentence on the phone. Seacourt Park and Ride is the one piece of open, level ground in easy reach and the sensible fallback when a street proves too tight. Botley, Dean Court, Tilbury Fields and Binsey sit within the same short round.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in New Botley.
Overnight, New Botley calls tend to come from the last car left in a park and ride bay, and from people who need the vehicle for an early start and have only just seen the tyre. The line is staffed round the clock. Size, location and postcode go down, the figure is settled before the call ends, and the van loads for that size.

New Botley FAQs
Questions from New Botley.
Can you fit a tyre in a bay at Seacourt Park and Ride?
The site has space and surface for it, which is more than most OX2 streets manage. Take a bay well clear of the bus stands, keep whatever ticket applies in date, and message the row so the fitter drives to you instead of hunting.
I am parked near Oxford station and the tyre is flat. Do I need to get back to New Botley?
A damaged car should not be driven anywhere it does not have to go. Station parking is somebody's business to run, so tell the operator, then the fitting goes ahead wherever the vehicle is standing, on the size read from the sidewall.
How does a slow puncture differ from a flat?
A slow puncture bleeds away over days and often returns a few hundred yards after being pumped up. A flat has already emptied. The first is normally dismountable, inspectable and repairable; the second needs checking for harm done while the tyre was run down.
Do you take work at the Curtis Industrial Estate?
Units there have yard space, which makes a wheel change simple on a van or on a car parked up for the day. Square it with whoever holds the site, keep the vehicle away from the shutters, and give the unit number on the phone.
