The job, step by step
Tyre trouble in Aston after hours, repaired where the car is.
Aston's overnight punctures can be picked up on the Lichfield Road or the estates and noticed when a shift worker parks up late, or at 5am when the van on Holborn Hill is being loaded. Because the car has stood on the terrace rather than been driven flat, the inside of the tyre is generally sound, which makes a repair the correct fix at that hour rather than an automatic replacement.
Repair kit, jack and balancer come out on the van, the wheel comes off on the terrace and the tyre is turned inside out under a work lamp. Where the screw has gone through the tread's middle band and left a hole of 6 mm or smaller, a patch-plug seals it from within, and the wheel is spun on the balancer before it goes back. On the call you get a repair price that holds after dark; a new tyre is only raised if the standard rules the repair out.
Once you have rung, we can also cover locking wheel nut removal, van tyre fitting in Aston and emergency tyre replacement.
