in Southcourt.
Southcourt runs from its own HP21 streets straight up against the edge of Aylesbury town centre, which means two sets of parking rules inside half a mile. Rescue Tyres works to whichever one the car is sitting under.

Tyre trouble in Southcourt?

in Southcourt.
Southcourt is the last of the unrestricted streets before Aylesbury's paid and permitted ones begin. Mandeville Road and Stoke Road, both B4443, run through it, Walton Street and Wendover Road carry the A413 along one side, and the inner ring road is close enough that a kerbed alloy off one of its corners often gets discovered here. So what the fitter asks first is which of those the car is on: a drive, a free street, or a bay that has to be paid for while the wheel is off.

What we do in Southcourt
Tyre work in Southcourt.
Work here splits between repairs and replacements. A nail in the tread comes out and the tyre is mended from within to BS AU 159, the only repair a tyre ought ever to get, and that is done at the kerb. Kerb damage off the town centre corners is the other half, and a split or bulged sidewall can never be mended, so that tyre is replaced against the size on the wall. A locking nut that arrived without its key is drawn off. Somebody answers the phone at night and at weekends.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Southcourt
Drives, bays and car parks.
Best case is a drive on the Southcourt side, where the car need not move and bays never enter into it. Second best is free kerbside on those same streets, with the van tucked in behind. If the car has stopped nearer the ring road, a pay and display bay is fine so long as the ticket runs for the length of the job, and a permit bay is not unless you hold the permit. Station and retail car parks are workable with the operator's nod. The A413 and the ring road itself are neither.
The estate side behaves like any Aylesbury estate: houses, drives, free kerbside, and the fitter working outside the door. Cross towards Walton Street and Friarage Road and it changes, because the streets round the old centre mix short stay pay and display with residents' permits, and a car left on the wrong one while a tyre is sorted collects a ticket that has nothing to do with the tyre. Aylesbury station is not far and its car park is the railway's; Friars Square belongs to the centre, with its own rules; Broadfields and the Vale retail parks are the retailers'. All of them can work, none of them is ours to grant. Buckinghamshire carries no clean air charge, so that part at least is simple.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Southcourt.
Aylesbury station is walkable from here, so a fair share of the late calls come from people off a last train, reaching the car to find one corner sitting low. Others are householders who noticed at eleven. Either way the phone is answered, and the figures for the tyre and the callout are read out to you first.

Southcourt FAQs
Questions from Southcourt.
There is a flat on my car in a pay and display bay near Friars Square. Can you fit there?
Work in a paid bay is fine provided the ticket covers the time the car stands there, and the fitter will say how long to buy. Friars Square has its own car park rules, so a word with whoever is on duty saves an argument in the middle of the job.
Is parking in Southcourt permit controlled?
The estate streets are not, so the wheel comes off at the kerb outside your house with nothing displayed. It is the streets nearer Walton Street and Exchange Street that carry permits and short stay charges, and those need a legal bay before any work begins.
Can you meet me at Aylesbury station car park instead of at home?
That suits plenty of commuters. The car park is the railway's, so square it with the staff on duty and pick a spot with clearance on both sides. Send your registration, the bay area and whatever is moulded into the tyre wall before the fitter sets out.
What do you need from me before coming out to HP21?
The size moulded into the tyre wall, the registration, the exact street or car park, and which of the three the car is on: a drive, free kerbside or a controlled bay. If the wheels take a locking nut, find the key. Everything else comes on the van.
