Mobile tyre fitting
in Stoke Poges.

A fitter at your car
in Stoke Poges.

What goes wrong with tyres in Stoke Poges is mostly quiet damage. Cars sit on gravel and long drives, pick up a thorn or a screw somewhere and lose air over a fortnight, and the owner finds it on a Monday. The B416 through Bells Hill and Park Road supplies the other sort, a kerb or a hollow caught on a bend with no footway to take the car onto. Either way the wheel comes off at the property, with the right tyre already on board.

Drives, bays and car parks.

A drive is the standard workplace and most here are long enough to take the car well clear of the lane. Gravel is fine provided the ground under the jack is firm and level. Soft verge is not, and neither is a slope. Farm and business yards work when the owner agrees to it. What a fitter will not do is jack a car on Bells Hill or the Gerrards Cross Road itself, where a bend and a hedge give an approaching driver no warning that something has stopped ahead.

This is a scattered village rather than a street plan, and the calls follow it: houses along Bells Hill, Park Road and the Gerrards Cross Road, the lanes out towards Wexham Street and Fulmer, and the edge nearest Farnham Royal and Farnham Common. SL2 and SL3 are the postcodes, which puts the address in a postal town most people name wrongly, so the county is worth stating. Buckinghamshire, outside Greater London and outside the ULEZ altogether. Almost every job happens on private ground, because the lanes are narrow, unlit after dark and have no footway to step onto. The car parks the maps show belong to businesses and their visitors, not to the public. Traffic reaches the village from the Denham junctions on the M40 and M25.
