Glasgow Puncture Repair

[erdnase]

Does anyone know who'll repair a runflat that has a nail in it? The nail isn't near the sidewall.

Possibly only a wee East End back street place, I tried so many places and got turned away when I had a puncture in my old MINI that I got fed up and just bought a new tyre, a right pain in the ass especially if it still has good tread on it.

There is a place in paisley probably will. On lacy street just off glasgow road. They are reasonable. Also farmers in hillington are very fair. Iv had a nail taken out of my tyre and not been charged as it didnt puncture. Would of been very easy for him to charge for new tyre, labour. Although they would only do things exactly by the book im guessing.

The story every place gave me was that the runflats are only good for driving on for 'x' amount of miles once punctured, and as they don't know how far you've driven on it, for them to repair it would mean they could be giving you a tyre back with the hole repaired, but with knackered sidewalls - there was one chap who wouldn't repair it and assured me he wasn't saying that to try and sell me a new tyre as he couldn't get runflats in stock anyway, I was inclined to believe him for that reason.

ATS Euromaster at Finnieston did it for my wife's mini.

It's only a slow puncture I have, so hopefully the sidewall won't be too damaged to repair the puncture.

It's dropping about 1 psi per day, which is annoying and requires regular top-ups. Cheers for the advice, I'll give ATS a call and see what they make of it.
