1144.0. "Tyre fitter near DEC Park?" by CRATE::SAXBY () Mon Jul 09 1990 13:28

    
    Anyone know of a reputable tyre fitter within a few minutes drive of 
    DEC Park? I need a new tube (can they be repaired a la Bicycle tube?)
    for one of the Marcos' wheels and it has to be done BEFORE the weekend,
    so the local (to home) fitter is out of the question.
    
    Thanks

    PS The puncture is due to a large nail through the tread!

    Mark,
    
    Try ATS, come out of DecPK, turn left into Reading at the small
    roundabout, and it is on your left, virtually next door to Millenium.
    (about 2 miles)

I second ATS - they are always very good and don't even try and sell me a new
tyre when its not needed (or PHH keep them in line :-) ).

    Well I'll third ATS.
    
    They repaired the tube (for �5) and balanced the wheel for me.
    
    They were friendly and courteous (not especially usual!).
    
    The only thing I can complain about is that they left a lot of muck
    on the wheel, which being alloy need cleaning up.
