Puncture Repair for a Toyota Hilux in Cambridge

A regular customer in Cambridge called our head office to book in his Toyota Hilux, which had unfortunately experience a nasty run in with a rather large nail. The tyre was slowly deflating over a period of a couple of days, but the customer informed us that it wasn't urgent. Instead of leaving it to later, we got the customer booked in for the next morning!

Although in theory, the puncture sounded perfectly repairable...

• the object was in the centre of the tread
• the nail was less than 6mm wide

...we always take a potential replacement tyre just in case we find something unexpected and the tyre isn't repairable. As the customer uses his Hilux for occasional off-roading, he opted to go for the Bridgestone Dueler as a replacement if needed.

Upon arriving at the customers house, we pre-inspected the vehicle for any other mishaps. The car was jacked up and the wheel removed. With the wheel on the turntable, we removed the tyre and inspected the nail. Luckily, everything was in good shape so we removed the nail and sealed the hole with a plug patch and rubber cement!

At the cost of only £48.00 inc VAT and minimal disruption to their busy working day, the customer was back on the road with full confidence within 40 minutes!
