There really is nothing worse than preparing everything you need for you holiday to then find out that one or more of your tires is flat. More often than not the flat is due to rouge screws and nails that seem to litter streets all across the UK. When you’re home you are safe and at a place where it is relatively easy to get the problem sorted. But what do you do when you’re on site?
Recent figures have shown that there has been an increase in onsite punctures and repairs for caravans and motorhomes. Data from TyresOnTheDrive shows that in the past 3 years the number of call outs by motorhome and caravan owners has rocketed up by more than 80%.
As the puntures become more frequent the demand grows for on site problem solving. So to keep holidays relaxing, and more convenient when things go wrong, the ‘we come to you’ tyre repairing service rolls in to save the day.
So if you find yourself on site with a flat you can get wheels up and rolling away in no time at all. TyresOnTheDrive will give you a 2 hour slot of their choosing and then repair your tyre so you can carry on with your trip or get home on time for tea.
Mobile tyre fitting is the fastest growing sector in the tyre replacement industry as a lot more drivers are choosing repair over replacing. Once you’ve managed to get the car to a garage and then paid through the nose for the tyre and services charges you are totally out of pocket.
The UK has over half a million tourers and around 225,000 motorhomes owners and Ray Fernandez, CEO of TyresOnTheDrive, has said they have seen a huge growth in call outs from these owners.
He said: “We have seen enormous growth over the past few years among caravan and motorhome owners discovering a puncture either at home before they set off or when they want to hitch up and head back. No one wants to be delayed on their holiday journeys and we offer the peace of mind and convenience of coming to you.
“In just the past three years alone we have seen a rise of 81 per cent in caravan and motorhome call-outs and with the summer school holidays fast approaching I am sure we will see even more this year. We come to where the customer is and when the customer wants and as that message gets around, more people are turning to us for help.”
Over the past fews years the demand for home-fit tyres has more than doubled over the past few years and Google data has shown that online searches have rocketed from around 25,000 in February 2015 to 60,000 in the same month last year.
