Two patterns account for most of the tyre calls out of Risinghurst. One is the commuter who parks at Thornhill Park and Ride for the day and comes back to a wheel that has gone soft while it stood. The other is a car that has been out on the A40 or the Eastern By-pass, picked something up, and made it back onto the estate before losing pressure properly. Either way the car stays where it is: give the size, the street and the postcode.

What we do in Risinghurst
Tyre work in Risinghurst.
Everything a tyre bay would do happens at the kerb instead, because the van carries the machine and the balancer. That covers a replacement in whatever size the car happens to run, fitted and weighted. It covers a tread puncture, which is mended on the inside to BS AU 159 once the hole has been measured and found to be in a repairable spot. It covers a tyre that has failed outright, with the rim looked over. And it covers a locking nut whose key has gone, pulled off and swapped for a standard one. Night calls are taken.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Risinghurst
Drives, bays and car parks.
The drive at the house is first choice and does for most of Risinghurst. A kerb on a quiet estate road is the fallback, with the car pulled clear of junctions. Thornhill Park and Ride takes the rest: it has room to work around a car and is easy to direct somebody to, which helps when the car is drivable. St Leonards Road Car Park is the smaller alternative, with Headington Car Park nearby. Nothing happens beside a trunk road.
Risinghurst is residential almost the whole way through, so the working surface is nearly always a drive or the kerb outside the house. Where a drive exists, nothing needs to move and the work happens on it. Where one does not, a kerbside job is fine provided it is not sat on a bend or blocking an access. Past the houses the round carries on into Sandhills and Barton, and out to working vehicles at the Shotover Trading Estate and Littleworth Industrial Estate, where a yard and somebody to open the gate are the two things to arrange before the van sets off. The A40 and the A4142 are for driving on, not for changing a wheel beside.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Risinghurst.
Night work in Risinghurst is mostly about the morning after: somebody who has to be on the A40 early, finds a flat at eleven at night, and would rather have it sorted before bed than deal with it at dawn. Somebody picks up whenever it rings, and the price is confirmed then and there.

Risinghurst FAQs
Questions from Risinghurst.
I left the car at Thornhill Park and Ride and it has a flat. What should I do?
Do not drive it home on a flat if you can avoid it. Send the bay row, the site postcode and the size as it reads on the tyre wall, and the wheel gets changed in the bay. Keep the parking ticket running while the work is done.
Can you work on the car if it is parked on the road outside my house?
That is how a fair share of these jobs are done. The car wants a straight stretch with room on the wheel side, well away from a corner or somebody's dropped kerb. Say which side the failed tyre is on and the van lines up accordingly.
Do you get out as far as Forest Hill and the Shotover Estate?
Both are on the same run as Risinghurst and neither is a problem. Addresses out that way are easier to find with a postcode than a name, so send it with the size and a note of where on the property the car is standing.
What details does the fitter need for a Risinghurst address?
The size from the sidewall, which reads as three numbers and a letter, the full OX3 postcode and house number, what the car is standing on, and whether it will still move. With that much the right tyre goes on the van and a realistic arrival time can be agreed.
