Mobile Tyre Services in Watton
Hometyre Norfolk, the mobile tyre fitting service that comes to you, went out to a customer's home in Watton, next to Thetford. The customer had received a puncture on the front driver's side of their Volvo XC90 and was stuck at home without a spare tyre.
The customer had also driven on the tyre, so they were aware it would not be repairable, Hometyre managed to get hold of a tyre the same day to save the day, yet again!!
We took a budget 235/60 R18 Comforser tyre to the customer. As we removed the tyre, the seal of the rim, where the tyre sits, was full of corrosion. We cleaned this up, sealing the bead, carrying out a rim refurbishment bead seal. This will prevent any slow leaks in the future.
While we were in site, the customer complained that the steering starting to shake when the went over a certain speed limit. This is a sign that the wheel balancing is out. We removed the other front tyre and re-balanced the wheel. As we were already changing a tyre in the front, the wheel balancing was included anyway. The customer had both her front wheels balanced, ready for a smoother ride.
