Most East Molesey punctures are found rather than felt: a tyre discovered soft in a residents' bay or a Hampton Court car park, having gone down while the car sat still.
What rules a repair out is position and history. Sidewall and shoulder damage cannot be repaired, and the tight parking here produces plenty of kerb contact that damages the sidewall structure without much showing outside. Distance driven flat is the other killer, because it breaks up the inner liner.
So if you find it soft, do not set off round the village looking for a garage. There is nowhere convenient to go and you will very likely destroy a tyre that could have been saved. Call us and we will repair it where it stands.
BS AU 159 is not a technicality; it is the line between a tyre you can trust and one you cannot. In practice that means the wheel comes off at your kerb in West Molesey or wherever you have managed to park, on Bridge Road included, the tyre comes off the rim, and the inside gets inspected for damage you would never see from the outside. The wheel comes off in West Molesey, not on a ramp in Walton-on-Thames. Nothing is towed out of Molesey Hurst or Kent Town; the work finishes there.

East Molesey punctures are usually found in a residents' bay or a palace car park, on a car that has not been driven since. That is the best case for a repair, so call from where you are parked rather than setting off round the village looking for a garage.
A visitor came back to a tyre almost down. It had gone flat while parked and had not been driven on at all, so the screw came out and the tyre was repaired properly and permanently in the bay.
A tyre losing air after months of tight parking against a raised kerb. The damage was structural and in the sidewall, so a repair was not possible and we fitted a replacement instead.
A driver circled the village on a flat for a couple of miles. The original puncture was repairable; the liner afterwards was not, and the rim had been marked as well.
Yes, that is the normal job here. We bring the van in close, shield the working side and use cones where the street is narrow. Everything including the balancer is on the van, so the car never has to move.
We would rather you did not. Driving on a flat, particularly round narrow streets looking for somewhere open, is the commonest way a twenty minute repair becomes a new tyre. Stay where you are parked and call.
Sidewall or shoulder damage, a cut rather than a clean puncture, a hole larger than the standards permit, or a tyre driven on while flat. We take the tyre off the rim and show you what is there rather than simply telling you.
Yes, and it is a regular call at weekends. Tell us the car park and roughly where the car is standing. Allow a little longer at busy times because the approaches to the bridge back up badly.
About twenty minutes once we are with you, including rebalancing the wheel, which we never skip. An unbalanced wheel shows up as a vibration at around fifty and wears the tyre unevenly from then onwards.
