Mobile tyre fitting
in Woburn.

A fitter at your car
in Woburn.

Woburn has no station and no trading estate, so the calls are nearly all about private cars: one found flat outside the house, or one that collected a screw on the way in and got left at the side of the road. The van comes up from north London, roughly thirty-three miles as the crow flies, which makes the phone call the part that matters. Read out the full size moulded into the sidewall, name the street, and tell us where the car stands: drive, kerb or yard.

Drives, bays and car parks.

A drive beats everything else here, and nothing needs moving. Failing that, a turning off the B5704 with the car pulled in square lets the fitter work at the wheel without standing in the traffic. Out on the lanes towards Eversholt or Milton Bryan, a carriageway with nowhere to stand clear is no place to jack a car, so a gateway, a farm yard or a house drive is the thing to aim for. The jack needs firm, level ground under it.

Requests come from the houses along George Street, Bedford Street and the High Street, from the London Road end, and from Crawley Road on the way out to Husborne Crawley. The villages within a couple of miles ring too: Aspley Guise and Aspley Heath, Eversholt, Milton Bryan and the hamlet of Potsgrove. Woburn Sands, despite the name, is a separate town about two miles off. Because the B5704 is the through route, a car being worked on is better on a drive or in a quiet turning than on the main street itself. We have no public car park to recommend in Woburn, so if the car can still roll, a private yard used with the owner's blessing does the job instead. No clean-air charge applies anywhere in Central Bedfordshire, parked or moving.
