Mobile tyre fitting
in Stony Stratford.

A fitter at your car
in Stony Stratford.

Most tyre calls from Stony Stratford begin on the way home. A screw gets picked up on the A422 Stratford Road or out on the grid, the car is left outside a terrace or in a town car park, and the leak only shows itself on the next outing. None of that needs a recovery truck. Copy down the markings printed on the sidewall, name the street or car park, and a fitter comes with a matching tyre and every tool the swap takes, then does it beside the car.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Anyone with a private drive has the simplest job, needing nothing more than a clear path round the car. In the centre the four public car parks earn their keep: Market Square, Horn Lane, Willow Lane and Ostlers Lane, all level enough to jack on, provided the car sits inside a marked bay and any ticket is valid. A resident permit bay on a terrace works as well. The kerb of the Stratford Road does not, and nor does a narrow lane where the car blocks the way through.

The town splits fairly neatly. The older streets around the Market Square are terraces with permit bays and not much frontage, so a car there is usually dealt with in its bay or taken round to a public car park. Horn Lane, Willow Lane and Ostlers Lane car parks all sit close to the centre and give a fitter room to kneel beside the wheel. Out towards Galley Hill, Fairfields and Fullers Slade the housing is newer, driveways are normal and the job happens at home. Calls also come from just over the edge of town, in Old Stratford, Passenham, Cosgrove and Deanshanger, and those are handled in the same way. The Stratford Road itself is a through route, and nobody lifts a car on it.
