Bit of hard luck that but if it's bad tomorrow don't look for a hospital try the local Countryside/animal businesses and get some cohesive bandage like they use on horses - much better bet.
If the tyre is looking iffy then make sure you phone for the service bloke at a very early hour! He'll then learn to do a better job first time round.
Sleep well.

Yes but it will be the same company & I can say it was only done earlier. This person will then have a moan when they go back.
So you get 2 angry people which is better.

That rings a few bells lol but dealing with 2 moaning fitters first thing in the morning
customer wont pay the night call out charge or the original job but I had to pay the
night time fitter, I used to tell the night fitters to fit new tyres & we would repair the one
that came off an keep it as a spare for them & reduce the night call to cover the lads
wages an charge them for the tyre.

Tis difficult to repair tyres in the miserable weather we get an in the dark, not an easy job
they are removed with hand tools, we did keep a load of spares & part worns so it was just
a matter of changing the spare wheel an tyre over.
