Being this close to the middle of Oxford shapes the tyre work here. Cars are parked on controlled streets rather than drives, the roads in carry a lot of traffic, and a wheel that has lost pressure is better left alone than nursed through the centre. The damage itself usually comes from kerbs while parking, or from something picked up further out on the A4165 or the A4144. Send the sidewall size along with the exact street and the tyre is brought to it.

What we do in Park Town
Tyre work in Park Town.
What arrives is a workshop on wheels. Tyres ordered from the markings on the failed one, fitted and spun up before the wheel is torqued back, the old casing taken for disposal. Punctures in the tread are separated from the rim, examined and, where the damage permits, sealed from the inside under BS AU 159. After a blow-out, the rim itself is checked over for damage before a new tyre goes on. Locking nuts whose keys went astray are wound out with an extractor. Calls run all night and all week, with the figure agreed first.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Park Town
Drives, bays and car parks.
A resident or pay and display bay outside the house takes most of the work, with the car sitting inside its markings and the van pulling in behind. A private space or a rear yard is better still where one exists. If neither is available and the car can be driven, the Worcester Street and Gloucester Green car parks both take it and give a fitter room to work. Loading bays, bus stops and anywhere on St Giles' are not options.
Nearly every call here opens with the same question: is the car on a resident bay, on pay and display, or in a private space. Most of Park Town parks on the street, and a controlled bay causes a fitter no trouble as long as the permit covers it and the car is square in the markings. Public parking is the strong point of this address. Gloucester Green Car Park lies within a mile, Worcester Street Car Park not much beyond it, Walton Well Road Car Park is out towards Jericho, and Alexandra Courts Pay and Display sits closer to North Oxford. Oxford station is under a mile off for anyone who has parked there. What is not usable is the Banbury Road frontage itself or any of the through streets at St Giles'.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Park Town.
Late calls from Park Town come from people back off a final train at Oxford station, and from anyone leaving early who has found a wheel flat on the bay outside. Three in the morning is answered the same as noon, and the job is priced during that call.

Park Town FAQs
Questions from Park Town.
There is more than one Park Town in the country. Do you cover this one?
The Park Town in Oxford, OX2 off the Banbury Road, is the one covered here. Quote that district code at the time of booking and there can be no mix-up with the other place carrying the name.
Does the Zero Emission Zone affect a mobile fitting?
The zone runs across a handful of central streets, Bonn Square, Cornmarket Street and Queen Street included, and much of that ground is closed to general traffic anyway. It stops well short of Park Town. A stationary car having a tyre swapped attracts no charge in any event.
Can you come to Gloucester Green Car Park?
That is one of the easier city options when the car is still driveable, and it beats trying to cross Oxford on a bad tyre. Choose a space with room on both sides, message which level and bay you are in, and the work is done there.
The car sits on a resident bay. Will the van block the street?
The van needs a length of space near the car rather than beside it, so a nearby bay or a legal stopping place does. On the narrower streets around here the fitter will say on the call what is needed, and the car itself does not move.
