quick fit dont fix repairs i dont think, best going to a smaller independant garage.

cheers mate, still need a new spare tho, or mite save for sum multispoke 15"s, dont want anythin too big, not into that 4x4 action.

I used a place tyre place down the road from me when i had a nail in my tyre, iirc it cost £12 for the repair.

 

[Gareth]

it depends where the nail is located though, they can't always be repaired, the one I had was too close the the edge of the tyre and couldn't be repaired.

 

[Fletcher]

^^^Or if it's close to the valve.

 

[byrnie]

its nowhere near the valve and its not exactly close to the edge of the tyre either, so i reckon itll be reet for repair

I've got a nail and its in the the outer bit of tread and I was told they cannot repair it if its in that section but they can send it away for a major repair. Just gonna get a new tyre as its quite worn anyway.
