Almost every parking space in the Science Area belongs to somebody, between St Giles', Banbury Road and the OX1 side streets. Rescue Tyres works at the car, so the only thing to arrange is getting the van onto the ground.

Tyre trouble in Science Area?

A fitter at your car
in Science Area.
Cars parked around the Science Area tend to collect their damage somewhere else and show it here. What gets noticed is a tyre gone soft by the end of a working day, a slow leak topped up twice in a month, or a wheel that has kissed a kerb turning off Banbury Road or St Giles'. None of that calls for driving the car anywhere. Read the size from the sidewall, say where in OX1 or OX2 it is standing and who controls that ground, and the fitter comes out to it.

What we do in Science Area
Tyre work in Science Area.
The work here is the usual run of it, brought to the car. New tyres matched to whatever size, load index and speed rating your sidewall carries, fitted and balanced beside the vehicle. Tread punctures repaired to BS AU 159 where the location and the size of the injury allow, which means a proper repair from the inside, not a plug jammed in from the tread side. Burst tyres replaced after a look at the rim. Locking nuts drawn off when the key has gone. Every day of the week, day or night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Science Area
Drives, bays and car parks.
An allocated bay or a courtyard behind a building is the best surface around here, with a word to whoever runs it first. Visitor bays work on the same footing. Public car parks take over when the answer is no, and Gloucester Green and Worcester Street both have the room. The Plain, Iffley Road and St Clements Street are through routes and unusable, as is the A420. If the car truly cannot be reached where it stands, a short drive to open tarmac beats a long one.
The working question in the Science Area is rarely the tyre and nearly always the ground. Bays are allocated, barriered or permit-controlled, and the person who can say yes to a fitter is whoever holds the gate code or runs the lodge, so that call is worth making before ours. Where permission is straightforward the job is simple, because the surfaces are hard, level and out of the traffic. Where it is not, a public car park answers instead: Gloucester Green and Worcester Street sit a short drive off, and Oxford station is under a mile for anyone heading out by train. St Giles', Banbury Road and Woodstock Road carry traffic all day and are no place for a jack.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Science Area.
Overnight calls around here come from people leaving late and finding a wheel flat in a bay nobody else is using, and from drivers wanting it settled ahead of an early start. Somebody picks the phone up at whatever hour. If the gate is locked after dark, say so on the call and a workable spot gets agreed then.

Science Area FAQs
Questions from Science Area.
Do you need permission to work in a Science Area car park?
Whoever controls the ground has to know a fitter is coming, whether that is a lodge, an estates office or a car park operator. A word in advance saves the van being turned back at a barrier. Name the gate to come in by and where the car stands within.
Is a repair possible, or is it a replacement?
That turns on where the damage is. A nail through the central tread area, on a tyre with legal tread left and no sign of having been run flat, comes off the rim for an internal repair to BS AU 159. Shoulder and sidewall injuries cannot be mended.
Is a nearby pay-and-display bay usable for the job?
A pay-and-display bay serves well if the space alongside the car is clear and your ticket covers the time the job takes. Keep it on show, name the street and the bay for the fitter, and the wheel is away and back without the car shifting an inch.
Which postcodes does this cover?
The Science Area sits across OX1 and OX2, and the same round takes in Park Town, Wadham Park, New Marston, Jericho and the City Centre. Take the postcode from a letter instead of guessing, since the boundary runs straight through these streets.
