Anyone know of a garage in Edinburgh with a tyre bath?
I have a puncture, which my usual garage can't find as they don't have a tyre bath. The tyre is otherwise fine, so doesn't need replaced yet. They suggested another place, which I tried, only to be to told that they got rid of theirs recently.
Failing that, I suppose a new tyre is my only option?
I'm not sure if it was a tyre bath, but Newton garage on the wisp done something which located a puncture I had once a couple years ago. I think they put some sort of liquid around the inside and it showed up as a bubble where the puncture was...
I'm amazed that something to locate punctures isn't commonplace in every garage!
Don't know about a tyre bath but the bigger chains are much better than they used to be so worth trying Farmers, Kwik Fit or National.Quote:

Definitely a puncture? Sometimes corrosion on the wheel can cause it losing air.
I asked Newton garage to replace a tyre but they checked for the puncture first with a view to repairing it.
They offered to do it, without me asking. Great place.
Get a spray bottle and fill it with soapy water and spray all round the rim of the wheel any leaks will show as bubbles.
Thanks for the responses, all :aok:
Bet you're all desperate to find out how it ended...... :greengrin
Turns out it was a dodgy valve.
Farmers replaced it for nothing. How I love that man.......:flag:
