Other Service Information

 

Disclaimers

 

If there is a mechanical problem with the vehicle or the tyre ordered does not match like-for-like to what is currently fitted, you may be asked to sign a Disclaimer for authorisation to proceed with the Service. Including but not exclusive to, a Disclaimer may be requested for:

  • Fitting of a different tyre (size, OEM, tyre type, season, speed or load rating)
  • Any mechanical problems already present which, if the Service continued could cause damage (overtightened locking nuts/bolts, locked suspension, seized wheel)
  • Wheels fitted which are not standard (after market alloys)
  • If there is a problem with the wheel being fitted to (visible damage, buckled or cracked rim)
  • If there is a problem with the TPMS valve/system should a vehicle have it

 

Puncture Repairs

 

  • Under the guidelines of the BTMA, a puncture will not be repaired as part of our Service should it not be in accordance with the repair requirements.
  • As a Company, we do not fulfil puncture repairs on Run Flat tyres
  • A puncture repair has no guarantee. Should this fail, the tyre will need to be replaced
  • Multiple repairs can be carried out if the previous puncture repair is not over-lapping.

 

Tyron Bands

 

A Tyron Band is a mechanical device fitted on to the wheel and inside of the tyre on some motorhomes and caravans. If one of these vehicles is being booked for a fitting with us, this may be queried by an advisor to ensure the necessary time is allotted for this Service. As well as this, an additional cost is involved of £10 per Tyron Band needing the removal and re-fitment Service.

 

Locking Wheel Nut Removals

 

If your vehicle requires a Locking Wheel Nut Key to remove the wheels and this is missing or damaged for the appointment, a Locking Wheel Nut Removal service is available for an additional £10 per wheel when purchasing tyres, or £70 in total as a lone Service.

  • This Service is not 100% guaranteed
  • Should any wheel nuts be damaged (including but not exclusive to; being overtightened, corroded, broken, seized) the service is likely to be unsuccessful
  • The Service is unavailable for select vehicles due to the nut on the vehicle, including; Peugeots, Citroens, Jaguars (08-Present), Land Rovers (dependent on nut type), Ford Fiestas 17-Present.
  • During the removal, the nuts may be damaged. Please ensure new wheel nuts/bolts are to hand at the time of the Service
  • Should we attempt the removal and this is unsuccessful, the £40 call out charge will be applicable.

 

Vans & Equipment

 

All our vans are fully equipped to fulfil any Service to a high standard. To confirm;

  • No air tools are part of our kit. These tools can cause overtightening, damage and cross threading.
  • All equipment on board is as standard. Some vehicle modifications may require specialist equipment and will need to be advised before the Service takes place to allow confirmation that the work can be carried out.
  • The Vans are tracked 24/7 to clarify details internally.
  • The Vans are equipped with cameras in multiple areas for daily use.
  • The attending van will be a Mercedes Sprinter or Volkswagen Crafter.  Both of these vehicles require a minimum height limit of 8ft6 to allow full access.

 

Wheel Alignment

 

As a Company, we do not currently offer Wheel Alignment or are able to fulfil this Service on a mobile basis.

 

Tyre Age

 

  • As a Company, we do not carry our own tyre stock and cannot confirm a tyres age until this has been received.
  • We aim to provide and fit all tyres within 2 years of manufacture, however this is not always possible in every case. Tyres are considered to be “new” and fit for retail up to 5 years from the date of production; this is the industry standard based on the German BRV. 
  • All tyres provided are stored in the recommended and necessary environment to keep their condition brand new.

 

Tyre Insurance Claims

 

If a tyre is being replaced under Tyre Insurance and a claim is being made, the following applies;

  • Any paperwork which needs completing MUST be provided at the time of Service to allow our Technicians to accurately fill this in. This cannot be done after the appointment is completed.
  • Under the circumstances in which a tyre must be held for 28 days while a claim is processed, we are unable to hold this. However, the tyre can be left with you at the time of fitting if notice is provided before the Service goes ahead.
