Half of a worn tyre is on the side nobody looks at.

The first one here still has around two and a half millimetres on the outside, but run a hand to the inside edge and it's down to the canvas, and the second is worn bald in the same place. That pattern is nearly always alignment, and it won't correct itself.

So every health check here covers the full width of all four tyres, and we check the alignment before a new tyre goes on, because otherwise you end up paying for the same tyre twice.

An amber on the brakes in October is a job booked for a week that suits.

Leave the same amber until January and it's a disc as well, on a day nobody chose, which is why our Digital Health Check is there to tell you what's coming rather than to find fault.

Every car goes back out with photos emailed over and a green, amber or red against each item. Katie talks it through, nothing's done without your say-so, and Club Oldfields members can spread bigger jobs with ServiceSplit.

The worst part of leaving a vehicle with a garage is the not knowing.

Katie runs front of house, and most of her day is spent closing that gap. When a health check comes back she goes through it with you: what the vehicle is doing now, what condition it is in, and what is coming up, so the next job goes in a week that suits you rather than a week that suits the fault.

And if you need it back for the morning, she will tell you well before the end of the day whether you will have it.

A fault code tells you which circuit is complaining. It does not tell you why.

That gap is where the money gets wasted. The code names a sensor, the sensor gets replaced, the light comes back a week later, and nothing has been diagnosed. The part was reporting the problem, not causing it.

We do not work that way, which is why we do not offer a code read. Our diagnostic assessment is a fixed price. Owen starts with a visual inspection, then a full system scan, then live data, wiring diagrams and testing the circuit itself, because the same reading can be a failed sensor, a corroded connector or an air leak. You get a proper answer and a course of action before any part is ordered, and sometimes the assessment is the fix.

Guessing is free right up until the second part goes on.

You have heard about our customer service. This is what it actually looks like.

You arrive, our team welcomes you, takes your reg, confirms what you are in for, and asks how you want to be kept updated through the day, phone or email. That is not small talk. It is the bit that stops you wondering what is going on with your car at three o'clock.

The work is confirmed, the parts are checked and the day is planned around getting it back to you. Then the Digital Health Check, with photos, so what comes back is a report you can act on, not a list of surprises.

Nothing is done without your say-so. That is the Oldfields standard, and it is why people come back.

None of these tyres looked like this from the driver's side.

This is an example of what we see more than we’d like. Each one had tread on the shoulder you can see from standing up, and on the inside edge it was down to the cords. That pattern is nearly always alignment, and alignment does not put itself right.

It is why a tyre check here is not a glance at the outside edge. Every health check covers the full width of all four tyres, and when we find inside-edge wear we check the alignment before the new tyre goes on, so the new one does not go the same way.

It is Tyre Safety Month. If you cannot remember the last time somebody looked at the far edge, book in with your reg at https://www.oldfieldsgarage.co.uk/book/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=oct26-tyres&utm_content=fbli-tyre-pile

October is Tyre Safety Month, and it is in October for a reason.

TyreSafe has run it every October since 2010, because this is the month the weather turns. The roads stay wet, the light goes early, and the first cold nights take air out of your tyres. All of that goes through four patches of rubber not much bigger than your hand.

So give them a proper look this weekend. Turn the steering to full lock and the inside edge is right there, and the correct pressure is on the placard in the driver's door shut, not on the tyre wall.

Then let us do the rest. Tread across the full width, pressures, age and damage are checked on every Oldfields Service and every Digital Health Check, with photos, and you get the result as green, amber or red before anything is done.

Tim and Sam drove to Newport and came back with a trophy for answering the phone properly.

Castrol named us Garage of the Year 2025 at their Forever Forward Awards, and what they scored wasn't the workshop or the equipment. It was customer service: a 12-month average of 96, taken from over 650 survey returns.

That's an odd thing to win a trophy for, and it's also the point. Keeping over twenty oil specifications on the rack, confirming the spec against your reg, and ringing you before the work, not after.
