A fitter at your car
in Warrington.

Tyre trouble at Warrington is mostly passing trade, because two busy routes cross here: the A509 linking Newport Pagnell with Olney, and the A428 linking Northampton with Bedford. A driver who feels the steering start to drag usually comes off the roundabout hunting for a place to stop, and that instinct is sound. Get well clear of both carriageways first. Then take the size printed on the tyre, ring with the nearest landmark, and the van heads north with your size aboard.

Drives, bays and car parks.

Around Warrington the usable surfaces are private ones: the drive at home, a yard behind a house, a space in Lavendon or Olney. Nowhere in the hamlet is there public parking. A car that is still safe to drive a short distance is better taken to the Aldi or the Sainsbury's car park nearby, where the tarmac is level and there is room to walk right round the wheel. Grass beside the A509, the approaches to the roundabout and field gateways are all no-go, and you will be asked to shift the car before a jack comes out.

The hamlet is only a handful of homes, so most calls come from the ground around it: Lavendon along the B565 Lavendon Road, Olney, Clifton Reynes and Cold Brayfield. Addresses here straddle MK46 and NN7, a sign of how near the Northamptonshire line runs, so quote the whole postcode rather than trusting the village name. Work happens on private ground: a drive, or a yard where the owner is content. The Toll Bar Roundabout, London Road and the A428 in both directions are ruled out however small the job looks, since traffic never really stops here and a car on a jack has nothing shielding it. If a tyre fails on one of those roads and the car will not move, hazards on, everyone out and well back from the lanes, then 999 is the first number to ring.
