How the job is done
Tyre trouble in Sutton after hours, repaired where the car is.
Sutton's late punctures announce themselves on the drive home: the pressure light along the A232 into Carshalton, a hiss on the Hackbridge drive after the last train, a tyre gone soft outside a Belmont house at 11pm. Darkness tempts people into buying a tyre. There is no need. A screw mid-tread at 1am is the same job it would be at lunchtime in Carshalton, and the patch is smaller and lasts.
Ring 07473 720871 and ask for a repair, naming the Carshalton Beeches street or the Hackbridge drive. The night fitter removes the wheel, strips the tyre and reads the inside; a mid-tread hole within the 6 mm limit is then sealed from the liner side, BS AU 159 fashion, and the tyre refitted and balanced. A tyre run flat along Wrythe Lane with its inside scrubbed gets a frank verdict and the choice of a new tyre. The figure, unchanged by the hour, is agreed on the call.
