Tyre Fitting That Comes to You in Carterton
Carterton is one of the newest towns in Oxfordshire, about four miles south-west of Witney, and it grew up largely around RAF Brize Norton next door. One thing residents quickly notice is that the main road network is a little way off. The A40 lies a short distance to the north, but you reach it on B roads, usually the B4020 Shilton Road or the B4477 Brize Norton Road, and the A4095 towards Witney takes you through Brize Norton village first.
With the nearest big town a drive away, a flat tyre can mean a real detour. Our fitters save you the trip by coming to your home, your workplace or a safe spot on the road. We're available 24 hours a day, every day of the week, and we aim to reach most callers within about an hour, though rural roads and time of day can make a difference.
From Phone Call to Fitted Tyre
- Get in touch. Let us know where the car is and describe the problem; the size off the sidewall helps us load the correct tyre.
- We match you with a fitter. Our network of more than 100 mobile fitters spans England and Wales, so we pick the nearest one free to cover West Oxfordshire.
- The work happens on site. Repair or replacement, followed by free balancing. Your old tyre goes with the fitter at no charge, and new tyres come with the manufacturer's guarantee.
Pay by card, bank transfer or cash when it's finished. Nothing is added that wasn't agreed.

Country Road Tip: Check for Pothole Damage After a Hard Hit
The B roads and lanes around West Oxfordshire take a beating each winter, and edges crumble where verges meet tarmac. Hitting a pothole or a broken road edge at speed can do damage you won't see from the driver's seat.
After a heavy jolt, have a look at the tyre once you're safely stopped. A bulge or bubble on the sidewall means the internal structure has been damaged, and that tyre needs replacing, not repairing, as it can fail without warning. Also watch for the steering pulling to one side or a new vibration through the wheel, both signs of a bent rim or knocked alignment. Keeping tyres at the right pressure gives them a better chance of surviving a hit.
Driving at night on unlit roads makes holes harder to spot, so slow down where the surface looks patched or broken, and avoid running along the very edge of the tarmac when passing oncoming traffic on narrow stretches.
