Cost having no spare.

Two customers in consecutive days have unfortunately had punctures. When we take the wheel for inspection both occasions the tyres could of been repaired. The first one was a new car to the owner and had not checked if it came with a spare or not. The car had a tyre foam/weld but had been used previously and not replaced.

Because it was late at night they had no alternative but to drive on the punctured tyre rendering it ruined and able to be saved. A new tyre was ordered and fitted at the customers house in Darwin.

The second customer to have a flat tyre [at night again] noticed his TPMS warning lighting up on the dash. Topped up the air at a garage only to notice it flashed up again on his way home from work. I went to the customers aid on the outskirts of Great Harwood only to find that had tried to use the can of foam which came with the car. This was only six months old but still failed to work as he could not get it go into the tyre. 

Luckily Hometyre East lancs who covers this area was able to get to the customer before he drove any further. Saving him the cost of a new tyre.

Every customer we come across that have this system are furious that the car doesn't have a spare or even a space saver. The car manufactures are intent on making the cars lighter and more fuel efficient. But we believe this is one area they should change back.

A lot of cars nowadays are multi purpose and people want seven seats, so this will always make it difficult to accommodate.
