bl**dy nail in the tyre
Discussion
Just had the AMV8 serviced, price reasonable at £558 plus VAT (£655 incl), but the bad news was they found a nail in the rear.......... Aston don't repair tyres sir, that will an extra £216 incl VAT (negotiated down from £260!)....ouch. Times like that when I wish I had taken out tyre insurance! I asked for the tyre back, in case my local specialist could repair it, but they didn't return it! i don't mind spending the money on the car, but this is about the third nailed tyre I have had on various cars & it is a pain in the butt!
Just in case it happens to one of you guys, I thought I'd let you know the best price I found, it was Micheldever, they charge £187 incl Vat & fitting or shipping (rears)

Bad luck indeed Grant, thanks for the tip.
This has happened to me also and I suspect more people than you can shake a stick at. The last time was a rear Porsche fitment , half worn, big Phillips screw through the centre . I was uneasy at the prospect of a repair and having one new and one half worn on the some axle so I replaced both rears. Over reaction ? , probably but for the price of an omelette from one of Marco Pierre White`s nosh houses I think it makes sense.Peace of mind and knowing that next time I nailed it ( sorry) nothing nasty was in store for me.
