Real-World Scenario
Flat tyre with no spare? Many modern vehicles no longer carry a spare wheel — just a can of foam that doesn't always work. Our service van carries a range of common tyre sizes, and we can fit a replacement at the roadside to get you moving without the cost of recovery.
What NOT to Do
Never pour cold water into an overheating radiator — the thermal shock can crack the cylinder head. Wait for the engine to cool naturally, then call us.
