How the job is done
Tyre trouble in Longbridge after hours, repaired where the car is.
A late puncture in Longbridge is often a tread puncture: a fixing from the building traffic that finally worked through, spotted when the pressure light comes on driving home along Longbridge Lane. The car sits on the drive in Austin Village or in a bay at Longbridge station, the tyre is soft but not destroyed, and the driver needs it at seven for the A38 run to work. A proper repair overnight saves the tyre and the morning.
Ring the usual number at any hour and describe the puncture; a photo helps if there is street lighting. Where the screw has gone into the flat of the tread and the hole is inside the BS AU 159 limit, the fitter comes out to B31 or B45, demounts the tyre, patches it from inside under a lamp and refits the wheel balanced. The night visit and the repair are priced together on the call. If it cannot be repaired, you are told before the van moves.
