Shake through the wheel on the A41 towards Aylesbury, or once the M40 is reached at Wendlebury, points at weight rather than tyre wear. The balancer comes to your Bicester street.
Bicester wheels take their knocks close to home. Roundabout kerbs by Bicester Avenue and along Skimmingdish Lane stand proud, the estate roads at Kingsmere still carry building traffic and grit, and the unmade sections at Graven Hill shake a wheel about. A weight can part company with a rim there without a sound. The first hint comes later, at a steady pace on the A34 or A41, as a hum in the hands.
Nothing needs to move for this. Bicester's estates have no permit parking, so the fitting van pulls up behind yours, the car is jacked clear and the wheel is carried to the balancer built into the load space. The machine turns it, reports the heavy side and how much is wanted on each rim face, weights go on and a second run checks them before torquing.
Kerbside on Kingsmere, Bure Park, Glory Farm and Langford Village is simplest, since no permits apply. A ticketed bay at Pioneer Square or the level rows at Bicester North also suit. Gravel plot tracks at Graven Hill are too loose to jack on.

About wheel balancing nationwide → · Wheel balancing on the Bicester page
Balancing and alignment answer different complaints and only one of them is ours. If a Bicester car leans towards the verge on the A4421 to Launton, or the front tyres go thin along one edge, the geometry wants setting on a garage rig and we do not offer that. What weights cure is the speed-linked shudder felt in a vehicle that still drives straight ahead.
Hum on the A41? Wheels balanced at your Bicester kerb or station car park.
