At the car
Tyre trouble in Tipton after hours, repaired where the car is.
The overnight repair suits the Tipton driver who spots a slow leak late: the pressure warning on the A4037 home from a night shift, a hiss heard while parking in Princes End, a screw head seen under a street lamp on Owen Street. Left until morning, that tyre may be on its rim by breakfast, and if it is driven even a short way it can no longer be repaired. Caught tonight, the hole is usually still a straightforward fix.
Lamps and the repair gear ride in the van along with a spare in your size, though saving the Tipton tyre comes first. On an Ocker Hill drive or under a Toll End street light the wheel comes off and the hole is measured; if the nail went through the tread's middle section and left 6 mm or less, the hole gets plugged, a patch is laid over it on the inner liner, and the wheel spun true. The repair figure is given before the van sets off.
Other jobs we do at the car include locking wheel nut removal in Tipton and new tyres fitted in Tipton.
