There is a range of services that we offer for the upkeep of your car’s tyres, but when drivers think of tyres, the first thought is probably the dreaded puncture. If you’ve driven for long enough, chances are you’ve had a puncture at some point, and if you haven’t…lucky you!
Unfortunately, most punctures will require a whole new tyre, but if it’s possible to safely repair your existing tyre, then that’s what our mechanics will do.
If your tyres are fairly new, then having to replace one due to a rogue nail is even more frustrating, but for your safety, any good mechanics must follow the British Standard and only repair a tyre that has 6mm or less damage within the central 3/4 of the tyre. Repairing any larger puncture, or one outside this central area, would put too much strain on your tyre and risk it bursting.
Likewise, if you have Runflat tyres, which allow you to drive for a short distance on a punctured tyre, these need to be fully replaced if damaged.
Whether it’s a repair or a tyre change needed, our team will provide the highest level of service for a great price.
As mentioned, there are other areas of tyre upkeep that you may also want to consider. Tyre rotation is not something that a lot of drivers do, but it can help avoid uneven wearing – which can affect handling or lead to a puncture itself. If you use this service, our team will assess the wear and tear on your tyres and swap them around to ensure that they are wearing evenly.
Likewise, maintaining optimal air pressure in your tyres will ensure safer handling, greater fuel economy and reduce tread-wearing. Many cars now have an inbuilt alert system to warn the driver of low tyre pressure, and if you see this light then don’t hesitate to have it quickly dealt with. If you’re unsure about the pressure, then we can easily check this for you.
With all this talk of punctures and air pressure in tyres, we did think of making a pun about how our services won’t “let you down”, but luckily for you, we decided against it!
Mario turned up looking professional in uniform with an immaculate van, inspiring confidence he had high standards. He fitted a battery and programmed car brain in a mini cooper I was minding efficiently and quickly. He also explained after care. Very pleasant and trustworthy chap. Will use the service again when next in a mechanical rut! One caveat: I did have to buy the battery from Eurocarparts as it was considerably cheaper than the one quoted from MD but Mario was still happy to fit it. Many thanks.
Mario is professional kind and I couldn't be happier to have found him, he will be my forever mechanic and also speaks fluent Italian which is a bonus for me. He fixed my car straight away and was very honest with the price, I am another happy customer 😉
First called Mario out when my Air con wasn’t working, lucky enough it was a simple service which was required. Since then he’s done multiple services & repairs on my cars, always on time and explains all his work throughly. Highly recommend!!
He was there on time and did a fully check on the car. He explained the issues the car had and gave me estimates on how much repairs would costs. 10 our of 10!
