Tyre repair / replacement Central London / odd sensor issue

[wnd]

I have a 2020 Vantage with 1300 miles on the clock. Daily driver but office is only 5m away from home...

I think I have a slow puncture. I say think because I've had 3 in 3 years and the same symptoms - TPMS alert goes off, slight pressure drop, top the tyre up, same thing again. This morning it read 180 instead of 250 and I stopped to top the tyre up but the air machine was already reading 2.4 bar... so I'm wondering if its a phantom reading? anyone seen this?

The car doesn't come with a jack and it's a pain where I live to lift one.

Assuming it is a slow puncture, can anyone recommend a vulcanised repair shop or just general tyre shop in central/central-west London that can be trusted not to damage the rims...?

thanks!

Also very important, to be trusted to jack correctly.
There has been an example of a Vantage, being beyond economic repair, following incorrect jacking.

I hope it's just as simple as making sure they put the jack in the place indicated in the manual

Yes - the alloy is strengthened at the jacking points, but the precise locations might not always be clear to anyone unfamiliar with Aston Martins.

This conversation is exactly why I don't think I'd trust the wheels and tyres on my V8V to anyone other than an independent specialist or an AM dealer. There's not only the jacking points to consider, there's also the two-stage wheel bolt tightening sequence - I can't see ATS doing that with their 3/8" impact drivers

Could it be a cracked wheel? I had that once, Tyre would lose pressure and I was forever putting air in it. But soapy water on the tyre never revealed it.

Decided to just replace and the chap who took the tyre off the wheel spotted the crack...
