Tyre trouble in Stokenchurch?

A village beside a junction gets other people's tyre trouble as well as its own. Somebody leaves the M40 at junction 5 with aA40rning light showing, turns onto the A40 and needs somewhere to stand still; somebody else in HP14 comes out to a soft tyre on the drive. Both end in the same place: the wheel comes off wherever the car has halted. Name the sidewall size, plus the street where the car sits, and the right tyre leaves loaded.

What we do in Stokenchurch
Tyre work in Stokenchurch.
Work here splits between the village and the junction. A puncture in the tread is mended from within the casing once the tyre is off the rim, following BS AU 159 rather than plugging it where it lies. A tyre that has gone bang on the A40 is replaced, the rim looked over before that wheel goes back. A fresh cover is matched to the markings the car already wears, size, load and speed. A locking nut without a key is wound off with an extraction socket. The line is answered through the night, seven days.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Stokenchurch
Drives, bays and car parks.
Drives take most of the work in Stokenchurch, and a car on one can be jacked and finished without moving an inch. After that it is a quiet turning off the main road, the car pulled in straight and the fitter kneeling on the pavement side. The one parking area on the record belongs to a dental practice, which is private, so a side street is the plan rather than a search for a car park. Yards on the Junction 5 estate suit vans by arrangement with the site.
Stokenchurch itself is houses off Wycombe Road, Oxford Road and the B482 Marlow Road, most with a frontage of some sort, and that is where a fitter would rather be. Trade calls come from the Junction 5 Bates Industrial Estate. Beyond the village the addresses turn into hamlets, Studley Green, Horsleys Green, Beacon's Bottom, Radnage, Ibstone, Waterend and Sprig's Alley, where a lane can be single track with hedge on both sides. The motorway is the line nobody crosses. No fitter of ours sets up on a hard shoulder, in an emergency refuge, or at the edge of a live carriageway, so a tyre that fails between junctions means leaving at 5 and parking up in the village before ringing.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Stokenchurch.
The night calls in HP14 are mostly people off the motorway, a driver who came down the junction 5 slip road on a failing tyre and parked up in the village to wait it out. Shift traffic from the industrial estate makes up the rest. This number is answered at any hour, and what it comes to is spelt out before the van turns a wheel.

Stokenchurch FAQs
Questions from Stokenchurch.
My tyre has failed on the M40 near junction 5. Will you come to me there?
Not on the motorway, no. A hard shoulder, and equally an emergency area, is off limits to a fitter as much as to you. Come off at junction 5, park in Stokenchurch and call from there. If the car cannot move and you are in danger, dial 999, or National Highways on 0300 123 5000.
Where can I park in Stokenchurch for a tyre change?
A driveway if you have one, otherwise a residential turning off Wycombe Road or Marlow Road where the van can pull in behind you. The only parking area on the record belongs to a dental practice and is private ground, so it is not an option for anybody.
Do you cover Radnage, Ibstone and Studley Green?
Those hamlets, along with Horsleys Green, Beacon's Bottom and Waterend, are worked on the same run as Stokenchurch. Lanes out to them are narrow, so aim for a gateway or a widening where the car sits clear of the running line before you ring.
Can a screw picked up on the A40 be repaired rather than replaced?
Often it can. With the cover broken off its rim and the inner face read, a tidy hole sitting centrally in the tread and no broader than 6 mm falls within what BS AU 159 allows. Shoulder damage, a cut wall or a tyre run flat means a new one.
