  • My wife got a puncture from a pot hole and I took the wheel there hoping they could help. With no spare wheel my wife and the car was stranded whilst I took the wheel to get a tyre. Your team was very efficient, very helpful and exceeded my expectation of getting the tyre fitted promptly. Thank you and well done.
