Soul Garages is urging all of its customers to check the expiry dates on their tyre sealant kits after recent Visual Health Checks carried out by the garage revealed a staggering statistic – over 50% had either defective or expired tyre sealant.

This is a significant issue, as a proper sealant can make the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major safety hazard.

In response, Soul Garages has partnered with Autogem, a leading supplier in the automotive industry, to provide high-quality Tyre Sealant kits to its customers.

What is a tyre sealant kit?

Instead of a spare tyre, modern cars today often come with a tyre repair kit which includes a gel that is injected through the tyre valve to seal punctures from the inside, and a compressor to reinflate the tyre. While these kits are handy for temporary fixes, using them past their expiry can further damage a tyre and jeopardise the ability of the driver to safely reach a repair shop.

In addition, many original equipment manufacturer (OEM) repair kits leave a residue that makes the tyre irreparable. However, Autogem’s sealant, available at Soul Garages, can be washed out, negating the need for a new tyre and saving customers money in the process.

For over a century, Soul Garages has been a pillar of the Olney community, committed to meeting the automotive needs of local residents. This dedication recently expanded with the launch of a new Service Truck that offers roadside assistance for cars and light commercial vehicles. Available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, the Service Truck extends support beyond the confines of the garage, assisting customers within a specified distance from Olney.

With the new tyre sealant offering, Soul Garages is extending the care and convenience to its customers, ensuring they are supported not just during opening hours but whenever they find themselves far from home.

The message is simple – don’t wait—check your tyre sealant today and pop into Soul Garages for an Autogem kit to keep you safe on the road.
