I've got a slow puncture on my rear offside tyre. Just back from National Tyres who took 20 minutes to tell me they couldn't get a jack under the car.
Any suggestions?

Have Drivers at Charing Cross not fitted tyres for people here? Did Rob (RDH) not get his fitted there?

I think JJ might have used Collins Tyre Services in Johnstone (01505 336666) for his current Exige or his old Elise.

Can't believe they're saying they can't get a jack under the car?! I've got a trolley jack at home and it fits under the car no problem at all. Is your car unusually low? :?

Cheers guys Ill try Drivers tomorrow.
When I worked in Paisley I used Renfrewshire Tyre Services in the east end of the town. Worth checking out Dezzy, if you're ever stuck. The manager is called Joe and always seems to find good deals.

Cos I get twice as many done in a night than if I hammer em in the treads :twisted:

Have used Phil@ Collins in Johnstone- helpful guy, but watch the fitters as ever- saw one being a little 'carefree'. Dunno if they can get LTS spec though.

Btw, what exactly is the difference between LTS & non-LTS?
