How can I arrange for a tyre repair during the COVID-19 lockdown?

By Julia Freeman

Here at Protyre, we're committed to helping to keep key workers on the road, as well as those who have to make essential journeys in their cars, whether this is to enable them to visit a supermarket or tend to elderly or vulnerable relatives. We are proud to have been asked to remain open by the government in order to carry out this service.

Vehicle Maintenance

With schools closed and many of day to day activities causing additional stress, we have made it our mission to provide as many options for tyre repair as possible.

Mobile repairs

Under the lockdown rules, it is important to stay at home wherever possible, whilst also trying to keep children at home. In order to support people in doing so, we can offer a mobile tyre fitting service, enabling cars to have a new set of tyres fitted without leaving the driveway. This can help you look after your family without having to visit a branch, also letting you have essential maintenance done on your vehicle which can be arranged around working from home or other essential care commitments.

Branch repairs

If you are able to visit a branch, our tyre professionals will be able to get you back on the road as swiftly as possible. However, these tasks may take a little longer than usual in order for us to maintain safe working practices, keeping both our staff and customers safe and well.
 
Between customers, our staff will wash their hands thoroughly, as well as using a fresh set of gloves for each car worked upon. All forms of contact have been minimised, with contactless payment preferable. We are also ensuring that all garages are deep cleaned every day.
 
We also ask that our customers assist us in maintaining social distancing by observing the 2m marked lines that we have created in our branches.

Collect and return

We are also able to offer a collection service, where our mechanics collect your vehicle from your home or workplace, taking it to our garage. At our garage, all necessary tyre maintenance and replacement can take place before your vehicle is returned to you.

Special assistance available

For any customers needing additional assistance with their vehicle or having their tyres replaced, our branches remain flexible and willing to make any necessary adjustments. Simply contact your local branch manager in order to discuss your requirements, and we will do what we can.
 
Remember, that it is vital to keep your car roadworthy, especially if it is only required for essential journeys. If your tyres are close to the end of their life, they can become unsafe, dramatically increasing braking distances and making steering and handling unpredictable.
