Stuck on a farm with barely any phone signal isn't the easiest place to call for help from. This customer had a flat tyre in Markyate, and within an hour we were on site fitting a brand-new tyre and getting them safely back on the road.
This is what mobile tyre repair in Markyate looks like when the location itself is half the problem. This customer picked up a flat tyre while out on a farm, well off the main road, with a phone signal that kept dropping in and out. Getting help to a spot like that isn't always straightforward, but it's exactly the kind of callout our mobile vans are set up for.
Between the patchy reception and the rural access track, pinning down the exact location took a bit of extra back-and-forth. Once we had it, one of our vans was on site within the hour with a brand-new tyre ready to fit.
The call kept cutting out, but between the drops we got the essentials: a flat tyre, a farm off the main road near Markyate, and a description of the nearest landmarks to work from.
Using the landmarks and a rough pin from the last bit of signal the customer had, we worked out the route in and had a van on the way with a matching new tyre already loaded.
Our fitter swapped in the brand-new tyre, balanced the wheel, and ran a safety check on site before the customer set off again, all within the hour of that first call.
Remote or rural, it makes no difference, we'll still get there.
Farms and rural addresses around Markyate and the surrounding villages come with their own challenges: unclear postcodes, gated access, and phone signal that can't always be relied on. Where we can't get an exact address, we'll work with whatever a customer can give us, a landmark, a description, a what3words location if signal allows, to close the gap and get a van moving in the right direction.
Wherever you are, farm, roadside, or home, call us with your location and tyre size and we'll confirm availability and get a van heading your way.
