Tyre trouble in New Marston?

Most tyre trouble in New Marston is found standing still. Something sharp collected on the B4150 Marston Road keeps enough pressure for the trip back, then turns up as a soft front tyre on a Tuesday morning. Headley Way traffic bound for the John Radcliffe accounts for a share of the kerbing. What starts the job is the sidewall size plus a street and a number, and the correct tyre leaves Brent Cross on the van.

What we do in New Marston
Tyre work in New Marston.
Four things get asked for on this round. One: a tyre in the size your car takes, brought out, mounted and balanced before it goes back on. Two: a nail hole in the tread mended properly, meaning the tyre is lifted clear of the wheel so its inside can be patched to BS AU 159, not plugged from outside. Three: a tyre that has gone flat beyond saving, exchanged with a look at the rim. Four: a wheel nut nobody has the key for, drawn off the stud. Calls are taken all night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in New Marston
Drives, bays and car parks.
A private drive is the simplest answer and covers most of what happens in this part of OX3: the car stays put and the wheel is dealt with in place. Failing that, a residential kerb on a turning off Marston Road works, provided a jack can swing clear of passing cars. What does not work is Headley Way itself, or the hospital and pub car parks nearby, which are there for patients and customers rather than for a van to set up in.
Calls come off the streets either side of Marston Road, from the turnings towards Marsh Lane, and from Wadham Park and The Lakes on the city side. Cherwell Drive and Headley Way carry the through traffic, so a car left jacked on either is in everybody's way; the side streets behind them are where the work actually gets done. Public parking is the weak point here. Anything labelled a car park on a map of OX3 turns out to belong to the hospital or to a pub, none of it open ground for a stranger to work in, so a fitter plans on a drive, a private forecourt or a quiet residential kerb instead. Tell the fitter which of those it is when you ring, because it decides what gear comes off the van first.

24 hours in New Marston.
Late calls from New Marston tend to come from people finishing a shift at the John Radcliffe and finding a wheel flat in the dark, and from residents who spot it when they get back to the kerb. There is somebody to answer at any hour, and what the whole job costs gets settled in that same conversation.

New Marston FAQs
Questions from New Marston.
Where can a fitter actually work in New Marston if I have no driveway?
A residential kerb on one of the turnings off Marston Road is workable, provided the car sits clear of a through route. Say which street and roughly where along it, and whether the wheel in trouble sits on the road side or the pavement side.
My car sits in a staff car park at the John Radcliffe. Can you reach it?
That depends on the hospital rather than on us, since those car parks are run for patients and staff and a visiting van needs permission. Many people instead leave the car on a street off Headley Way for the fitting. Check with the car park office first.
The tyre went down after I kerbed it on Cherwell Drive. Repair or replace?
A kerb strike does its damage to the sidewall, and a sidewall cannot be repaired under any standard, so a bulge or a cut there means a replacement. If the tread took the hit instead, there is a decent chance of a repair. Send a photograph before the van loads.
How far out is Brent Cross from New Marston?
Everything runs from Adrian Avenue in Brent Cross, north London, and New Marston is roughly forty five miles away as the crow flies. Nobody promises a time down the phone before the run is planned, so you are told what is realistic while the booking is being taken.
