Volvo and a locking wheel nut

Customers called to say that he had been told that his locking wheel nut would have to be cut off damaging his wheel in the process. This was told to him by a main dealer who could not remove the nut with the locking wheel nut keys they had. As you can understand the customer was not very happy. He called Hometyre and we went along at the arranged time and removed the nut without damaging his wheel. If you are in the same situation call us and we will come to you.
 

Locking wheel nut removal

Removed a locking wheel nut for a customer this weekend, He had a pucture and could not inflate his tyre. The locking wheel nut key had also been damaged as the last time the tyre had been changed an air gun had been used on the nut wrecking his key. We turned up, removed the locking wheel nut and replaced his tyre. All while he was at home with his children. Very happy customer. So if you have a locking wheel nut that you cannot remove call us and we will come to you.
 

replacement wheels

Replacement wheels. Did a customers BMW this weekend with a set of the Italian after market wheels. Very happy with the results, 2 year guarantee and TUV approved. The wheels are made for the specific vehicle so no spacers are required and the wheel has the correct number of wheel nut holes to match the hub. Results looked stunning.
 

M1 traffic problems

The M1 south bound is still closed, so if you are travelling to Wembley for the football you will have to take the M40.
 

M1 closed from junction 4 to 1 in both directions

The M1 is closed from junction 4 to 1 in both directions due to a fire in a scrap yard. No estaimated time for reopening has been given. The will probably grid lock the whole of North London. Best to keep away if possible.
 


Traffic problems on the M25

The M25 has traffic problems anti clock between Junction 13 and 10, 18 and 16. Also clockwise between 27 and 29, keep clear!!!
 

Are your TPM's faulty?

Has the tyre pressure light on the dashboard illuminated? Is one of your tyres indicating no pressure but you have checked the tyre and it is ok? You could have a faulty TPMS sensor. We can visit you and diagnois a faulty sensor and either fix it or replace it. All this can be done without you having to take your car to a dealer, saving you time and money.
 

M25 closed 23 to 25 Friday 18th March

The M25 is closed junction 23 to 25 today. Not expected to be open untuil 16.00. A406 is expected to be busy today. Try to keep away from North London if possible.
 

Stopping distances and why 3mm is a good idea

The major manufacturers recommend that tyres should be replaced when they get to 3mm's. Why should I do this you say when the law is 1.6mm's. Well in the wet from 50 mile per hour your stopping distance on tyres at the legal minimum is almost 8 meters longer than when you have 3mm's. That doe's not sound a lot but it could be the difference between hitting the car in front of you or maybe a pedestrian crossing the road. So think about it, tyres are the only thing keeping you on the road and away from all the other road users if you have to stop in an emergency. Dave Hometyre Southeast
 

Porsche 911 with a flat tyre, maybe a tyre pressure monitoring system could help (TPMS)

Went to a customer the other day, we had changed his rear tyre in December. He had a puncture caused by a nail. The tyre was damaged beyond repair as the inner wall was split because the tyre had been run flat. We replaced the tyre which he was happy about and I suggested that he might benefit from a tyre pressure monitoring system, this will give him advance warning that the tyre is losing pressure so he could get it repaired before it is damaged beyond repair.

Tyron bands

Fitted a set of Tyron bands for a customer on Saturday. Very happy with the fact that we came to him, saved him having to take his caravan to a tyre depot and then sit waiting for them to be done. He was also happy that he had contacted his insurance company and he would get a discount on his insurance once they are fitted.
 

Boat and caravan show

Attended the Boat and Caravan show this weekend on the Tyron stand. Lots of interest and stories of how Tyron bands saved lives. If you have a caravan, motor home or trailer then maybe you should consider Tyron bands. They don't cost that much & can protect you in the case of a blow out. What is your life worth?
 

Dented alloy wheel

Went to a customer yesterday who had a massive dent in his alloy wheel, totally unfixable, caused by hitting a pot hole. Keep an eye out for pot holes as they can cost you more than just a tyre.
 

Special tyres on a Jag

Had a customer today that needed 2 new tyres on his Jaguar, he had called all the local tyre depots and been given big quotes but also told that they did not know when they would be able to fit them as there suppliers did not have the tyres in stock. 1 call to Hometyre and the tyres have been ordered and at a significant discount to the originals quotes. We deal with all the national suppliers but also with specialists suppliers, this was the case that the specialists held the tyre but the national dealers did not. Some times you have to go the extra mile.
 

Jaguar tyres

Had a job yesterday for 4 tyres on a Jaguar. The customer had been told his tyres needed replacing by the main dealer (not going to say who as I think you will understand).
