Puncture Repair in St Ives

Mobile puncture repair across St Ives

A stone wedged in a tread groove, a screw that has gone in at a shallow angle and stopped in the rubber, a fragment of metal sitting in the surface: all of them look alarming and none of them has reached the casing. The tyre is holding full pressure because nothing has actually penetrated it, and the correct response is not urgent.

The distinction matters both ways. If the tyre has not lost pressure over several days, the odds are strongly that whatever is in it has not gone through, and it can be dealt with at your convenience rather than at midnight. If the tyre is going down, it has, and it needs looking at before it gets driven on. Either way the thing not to do is pull it out to find out, because if it has penetrated it is currently holding the air in. Photograph it, note whether the pressure is moving, and ring. We come to the address across St Ives and the surrounding villages.

What you cannot see is the part that decides it. From the outside a puncture is a nail head. From the inside it is either a clean hole through the tread with a sound casing, or it is a tyre that has been run soft and has started to break up where the sidewall bends. Only one of those can be repaired, and you cannot tell which from the tarmac. So the wheel comes off and the tyre comes off the rim on the drive in Wyton or wherever the car is, and the inspection happens before any promise does. BS AU 159 sets the line and we work to it.

Local knowledge across St Ives

St Ives sits on the A14 and the A1123 with plenty of village lanes off them, and cars here pick up a steady supply of stones, chippings and shallow objects that never penetrate anything. Quite a few of the call-outs turn out to be exactly that. Finding out costs half an hour and no tyre, which is a much better outcome than pulling something out to have a look.
