I want to say a huge thank you to the gentleman I saw this morning; apologies, I didn't get his name. I had a completely flat tyre & was a bit stressed as I'd already tried another garage who unfortunately couldn't help, so I was a bit anxious, hence I didn't think to get his name. I saw him at Auto Repairs and Recovery in the Riverside Industrial Estate, Littlehampton but I believe he also works at A Tyres in the same industrial estate.
When I arrived I was told they were very short staffed & fully booked for the day, but even so, this member of staff changed my tyre over to my spare tyre. I am so extremely grateful he helped me & when I went to go & pay, he insisted that there was no charge. I did say a few times that I'd really like to give him something for his time but he said no. I will pass the good deed forward. Thank you again for helping me this morning; it's greatly appreciated.

Got a nail in my tyre while driving with my daughter and called in mid afternoon hoping they'd be able to fix it on the spot. Very friendly staff squeezed me in and had me back on the road within an hour. Really saved me a lot of grief trying to get home, make appointment etc. Highly recommend!
Also, was told that they're taking on another unit soon and opening a high tech tyre bay with some very special alignment kit - will definitely be going back when that's open. Thank you so much for your help Auto Repairs & Recovery.
