Nail in tyre
VC:
as long as the tyre wall itself isnt damaged then its repairable. leave the nail in it, they will remove it and then drill the hole to just smaller than the size of a rubber bung, this is then glued in place, dries, re-inflated and then back on the car
just had a similar experience, ATS £16.50 for the repair and took about 10 minutes

Are you mad i would rather drive round with the puncture than take a £20,000 car too a young offenders institute.
Phil Mcavity:
Thats not always the case Topcat, you could have that at any garage or backstreet tyre dealer. Ive had great service from Kwikfit (in My area) but in liverpool, they may well be ex drug dealers or Young offenders as you say.
As long as you before tyre comes off, you agree alloy wheel condition before they remove it. Then theres no problem.

I am sure you will feel better about your wheel getting damaged if they agree to fix any damage. I still reckon you will cry though wether they replace it or not.
I will stick to a reputable place thankyou, i defo would not reccomend Kwik-fit to anyone :drinking:
