Hectic Week In Cumbria

We've had a busy week in Cumbria. Jobs in Keswick, Thirlmere, Borrowdale valley and Carlisle.

We had a very busy day on Thursday at the Tesco store in Carlisle doing a tyre pressure check and safety awareness day. Five members of the team were there on hand all day with two fully equipped service vans to check the pressures on vehicles and address any issues with tyres. One particularly interesting thing to come out of the day was the state of the spare tyres in the vehicles that carried them.

Of every vehicle we checked not one of them had a spare tyre blown up to the correct pressure, some were totally flat, others barely had any air in. Please check your spare tyre, if fitted, you don't want to be stuck somewhere with a puncture, go to put the spare on and find it flat!!

Lots of other tyre issues sorted as well from swapping perished tyres to putting in new valves on vehicles with seized on metal valve caps.
