What happens
Beyond repair in Nuneaton and the car is needed now.
A replacement becomes an emergency when the repair route has closed and the diary has not. A sales rep in Hartshill with calls along the A5, a carer in Attleborough due at clients, a driver whose only car sits outside a Galley Common terrace with a tyre torn open on the Long Shoot. Waiting for a depot slot or ordering online means days without the car, and a space-saver spare is not built for regular use.
Give the full size, including the load and speed letters, and say that the car is needed urgently. Where stock allows, the matching size is loaded before the van heads for Weddington or Camp Hill, and the cost plus a realistic arrival time are settled by phone. The new tyre is mounted and balanced beside the car, and the fitter then checks the remaining three for tread depth, pressure and damage, so you are not caught out again the following week.
