Tyre trouble in Prestwood?

in Prestwood.
Two kinds of road do the damage around Prestwood. The A4128 takes traffic over the top between Wycombe and Great Missenden, and the lanes leading off it, Martinsend Lane among them, are narrow enough that giving way means putting a wheel onto a rough edge. Sidewall bulges and slow punctures both begin that way. The tyre usually holds long enough to get home, which is convenient, because home is where the work happens.

What we do in Prestwood
Tyre work in Prestwood.
A tyre is ordered against the markings on the one being replaced, so the section width, the load figure and the speed letter all match what the car was built around. A repair under BS AU 159 starts with the tyre off the wheel and read from within, after which patch and plug go in together, and only tread damage of limited size qualifies. Burst tyres are renewed once the rim has been examined for a squashed lip. A locking nut with no key is wound out intact. Nights and Sundays are covered.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Prestwood
Drives, bays and car parks.
The High Street car park first, for anyone whose car still moves, because it is flat with space around a bay. Driveways next, and most of the closes have them. On the narrow lanes towards Hotley Bottom and Bryants Bottom the road is the only surface available, and there a fitter wants the car pulled fully into a gateway or a wide entrance so that nothing is left sticking out into the carriageway. A passing place is not a parking space and is no good for this.
Most of the calling comes from the closes off the High Street and Wycombe Road, from the houses towards Great Kingshill and Little Kingshill, and from the hamlets around: Stoney Green, Hotley Bottom and Heath End. HP16 covers all of it. Unlike its neighbours, Prestwood does have somewhere public to leave a car, because the High Street car park lies flat and is quiet enough that a wheel can safely come off there. Sainsbury's bays are for shoppers and the village hall ground is not public, so neither of those is a plan. Great Missenden station, a mile or so down the hill, has commuter parking a driver can be met in when the operator is content with it. Nothing gets jacked on the A4128 itself.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Prestwood.
This is commuter country, so the night calls tend to be people off the last train into Great Missenden who walk to the car park and find a flat, and residents leaving early for the run along the A4128. Somebody picks up at any hour, and you hear the whole cost on that first call, not afterwards.

Prestwood FAQs
Questions from Prestwood.
Which Prestwood do you cover?
The Buckinghamshire village in HP16, above Great Missenden, with the A4128 running through it as Wycombe Road and the High Street. Name the county when you ring, or simply read out the postcode, and the address cannot be confused with the villages elsewhere that share the name.
Can you meet me at Great Missenden station?
Station parking works as a meeting point for a commuter whose car will get no further, so long as the operator is happy to have work going on in the car park. Wait by the vehicle, and find the key for the locking nuts before the fitter arrives.
Is the High Street car park in Prestwood somewhere you can work?
It is the best public surface in the village, flat and with space beside a bay to lay a wheel down. Choose a spot clear of the entrance, mention which end you have parked at, and the job finishes there without the car moving again.
A kerb on Martinsend Lane has put a bulge in my sidewall. Can that be repaired?
A bulge means the structure inside has been broken, and nothing mends that. BS AU 159 permits repairs to the tread and nothing else, so a tyre with a swollen sidewall is replaced instead. Keep the speed down until it comes off the car.
