Tyre trouble in New Hinksey?

Abingdon Road does most of the damage on this stretch, and most of the rescuing too. It is the road everybody uses to get in and out, so a kerb clipped on a tight turn or a bolt picked up near Kennington Roundabout ends up as a soft tyre on a New Hinksey street the following morning. One postcode covers the lot, which makes it simple: quote OX1, name the street, read out the sidewall numbers, plus a word on whether it stands in a bay or on a drive.

What we do in New Hinksey
Tyre work in New Hinksey.
The jobs on this street pattern are the ordinary ones. A tyre losing air comes off its rim so that the inner face can be examined, and a tread puncture inside the bounds of BS AU 159 takes an internal patch-plug, not a plug shoved in from the outside. Damage in a shoulder or a sidewall means a new tyre in the vehicle's size, fitted at the bay. A locking nut is drawn when its key is lost, a burst is handled there and then, and the line runs all night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in New Hinksey
Drives, bays and car parks.
A residential bay is the standard answer in New Hinksey, and it works: the fitter needs one car's width plus the pavement to stand on. Where a house has a drive, so much the better. A private frontage or a rear courtyard reached through a gate is fine if the van can get near enough to carry a wheel. What does not work is a bay so tightly boxed in that a door will not open, or a spot on Abingdon Road itself where traffic is passing a hand's width away.
Calls run the length of the corridor: the terraces either side of Abingdon Road, South Oxford and Cold Harbour, the turnings towards Weirs Lane and Donnington Bridge Road, and the far end towards South Hinksey and Hinksey Hill. Very few of these houses have a drive, so the working surface is usually a residential bay, and inside the ring road that means the permit zone applies. Tell us the bay type on the call. There is no public car park in New Hinksey itself; Redbridge Park and Ride is the nearest open parking and Templars Shopping Park is the retailer's ground. The one place a wheel never comes off here is the A423, or the approaches to Hinksey Hill Interchange.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in New Hinksey.
Night calls off Abingdon Road come from two sorts of people: those who got home from a long drive and only then noticed the tyre, and those who have to be out before the traffic builds and will not leave it to chance. Whichever you are, ring 07473 720871. The size and the cost are settled on that call.

New Hinksey FAQs
Questions from New Hinksey.
Is New Hinksey all one postcode?
Every address on this strip falls in OX1, which is unusual for an Oxford suburb and makes life easier. Quote the postcode in full plus the street, and the car is placed before the van leaves. South Oxford and Cold Harbour next door are on the same round.
My street is permit-only. Does that stop you?
Not at all. A car on a permit bay is parked legally and can stay exactly where it is while the wheel comes off. The fitter puts the van as close as the street allows and carries the tyre the last few steps if need be.
Can I meet you at Redbridge Park and Ride instead?
That is a reasonable fallback when a street is impossible, and the bays there are open and firm. Only drive it if the tyre is still holding air, though. If it is flat on the rim, leave the car and let the fitter come to the street.
Do you cover South Hinksey and the Hinksey Hill side?
Both are on the round, along with Cold Harbour, South Oxford and Donnington. For a car stranded off the A423, get it onto a side road before you call, and give a landmark with the postcode so the van finds you first time.
