Why does nowhere do these anymore? I've managed to find only one garage in pretty much a good 20 mile radius that will repair a Z rated tyre. Some places only do rear tyres, some say they won't because of the manufacturers recommendations (of course the bloody manufacturer won't want a tyre repaired, they want you to buy a new one!) and even one place told me the 'ministry' has told them not to!?
So yes, well done to Nick Robinson Motorcycles who are willing to repair my puncture, though I really cannot understand why nowhere else will. |

I was of the impression that all puncture repairs are temp fixes designed to get you home/ to a garage where you should replace the tyre ASAP.
Due to that I would imagine its because most shops wont want the potential hassle of an accident on their doorstep after someone rides excessive distances on what is only meant to be a intrim solution. |

because if it goes wrong the individual who carried out the repair can face 6 months in jail and thousands in fines.

It's down as policy why we can't on z rated .So likely the same on all companies who don't.
If the puncture repair was viable I'd fix my own.

Had a voicemail the other day saying they were still looking into it.
If you have access to some real trees then they will do just as well and will not involve trips into south London ![]()
