Tyre Puncture repair

[Diet1985]

Hi Guys, Just went out to the car to find ive got a rear drivers side flat...

(explains why i went side ways on the roundabout last night coming home from work)

Ok this tyre was reapired at bathwick Tyres in Plymouth just before xmas... it had 2 of those what i think are called vulcanised repair jobs.

Its where they drill out a bigger whole then wedge some rubber into the hole.

Well ive looked at my new flat and can find no obvious signs of damage etc... but did notice that one of the rubber stopper thingys is loose a lil bit.. im suspecting its this thats caused the flat...


Now the question is.... are these repairs guarentted or anything? My other half seems to think they are not... so before i go up to Bathwick... i wanna be armed with your knowledge
Cheers

I would think a call to them would be the best option. In reality, you have paid for something that hasn't lasted very long at all. Even if they can't 'fix' it, they should at least give you some money back, IMO

Hi Dan,i'd say if they find out its their repair at fault then you shouldn't have to pay,so take it back and see what they find,good luck.....

Ive just phoned them... they said bring it in to be repaired.....

Im still not 100% if its repair and wont know untill they put it in some water lol...


I will keep u updated.

Well i drive across the moor every day........ I think its you when i pass through yelverton!!

...Last night i did end up going sideways ish on the robrough roundabout but put it down to it being wet and a lil too much speed etc.... but i reckon it was gone then and i didnt notice.

[glenboy]

What time do you drive past yelverton in the morning?? If its anytime between 7.30 and 8am then we pass each other,as i drive into Plymouth to work.

[Diet1985]

ooohh... i am usually on the road from Tesco to yelverton between 0730-0740.

I'll have to keep an eye out for ya!
