Kirkintilloch firm to the rescue after district nurse’s car has puncture

Stephanie Hardie discovered a huge nail embedded in one of her car’s tyres on Friday as she was leaving for work on the front line.

She contacted Kirky Tyre Centre - who came to her aid immediately and got her back on the road free of charge.

Stephanie posted on a community Facebook page: “Just wanted to say a massive thank you to the guys at the kirky tyre centre!

“I’m part of the local district nursing team and obviously need my car for work.

“When I was leaving for work, I noticed there was a massive nail in my tyre and it was totally flat.

“The guys came out and repaired it free of charge!

“So kind and really appreciate it.”

Stephanie added: “Would thoroughly recommend them.”

In response, local people posted of their pride in the Kirkintilloch company based at Unit 1 Ledgate, for going above and beyond.

One posted: “When this lockdown is all over these are the people we have to remember! Not the big corporate companies but the smaller ones.”
