At the car
Tyre trouble in Aylesbury after hours, repaired where the car is.
Late in Aylesbury, a minor fault at the worst possible time is a familiar problem. Arriving back in Quarrendon after midnight, a driver notices a screw head in the tread and the tyre going soft. A Stoke Mandeville porter living in Bedgrove sees the warning light at eleven with an early start ahead. The tyre has years left and one small hole, so paying for a replacement tonight would be wasted money.
With work lamps set up, the fitter raises the Bedgrove car on the jack, lifts the tyre off and studies the damage from within. A Quarrendon or Bedgrove screw hole lying in the main tread band, with 6 mm or less across it, gets a patch-plug to BS AU 159; if it strays towards a shoulder or runs larger, a replacement is offered with the reason. The repair price, no higher late at night, is agreed before work begins.
