@Ele I think you are missing the point here. Like my incident, I had a large screw lodged in the shoulder of the tyre. Because it was calssed as side wall, it required a new tyre. It was leaking air but very slowly. I could still drive the car. So no need for the RAC. It took a 2 day wait. for the home visit, as said I could still use the car. So no issues waiting 2 days. Other posters, where happy to wait for this service because it was convenient for them to do so.
I think you are missing my point as my post is sound advice for ALL and based on my own family experiences and not yours and is aimed at everyone and not at you and your still drivable vehicle
My post is a heads up to all members highlighting some of the facts of the home tyre service
Not many disabled people can be like you and be happy to be without their vehicle for 2/4 and I’ve seen it as long as 5 days wait for home tyre service that sometimes do not even turn up or gets cancelled at the last minute
You said yourself you only called out the home service because you didn’t want to wait at KwikFit that’s fine and that’s your choice although once there I suspect most people that were able to get to Kwik Fit in the first place would have waited and been back on the road a lot quicker and those who could not get to Kwik Fit and needing their vehicles asap would most certainly be smart enough to call out the RAC
Point being those that don’t want to or cant be be off the road for 2/4/ days which most could be if using the home fitting service are better off getting to Kwik Fit and waiting if at all possible or otherwise they can simply call out the RAC
The RAC is a home tyre fitting service that will turn up
If the tyre is in stock your back on the road in no time which is what the majority of disabled people would want
The few who are happy and able to wait and be without a vehicle then that is also their choice
