Finally grabbed a few minutes today to take my AH wire wheel down to the local kwik fit for a puncture repair this morning. It has a slow leak that wasn't the valve so it had to be done.
They were certainly kwik.. But only to tell me.."No mate.. We don't do tubed tyre repairs"
I thought they might struggle with a rebalance but it never occurred to me that they couldn't handle a tube!
Neither could they recommend anyone so grumpily I left.
On the way back I called into the little shop that does my MOT's for me to ask there. They were always helpful, offered tea and directed me to Fred. An independent tyre chap I didn't even know existed about a mile away.
"No problem Sir.. Pick it up later" the said Fred said.
Lesson learnt.
