Falkirk Recovery recently provided M9 Motorway Recovery for a top-of-the-range Volvo V60 after the vehicle suffered a sudden puncture while travelling on the motorway.
The Volvo had driven over a bolt, causing an instant puncture and leaving the owner unable to safely continue their journey. As the incident happened after 7pm, most local tyre garages were already closed, making an immediate replacement difficult.
We attended with our 7.5-tonne tilt-and-slide recovery truck, safely loaded the Volvo V60 and transported it back to the owner's business premises, allowing them to arrange a replacement tyre the following day.
M9 Motorway Recovery for a Volvo V60
A puncture at motorway speeds can quickly turn into a stressful and potentially dangerous situation.
In this case, the Volvo V60 struck a bolt while travelling on the M9, resulting in an immediate puncture. With the tyre no longer suitable for driving, continuing the journey could have caused further damage to the tyre, wheel or vehicle.
The owner contacted Falkirk Recovery for M9 Motorway Recovery, allowing the Volvo to be transported rather than risking further driving.
Once we arrived, the vehicle was carefully prepared for loading onto our tilt-and-slide recovery truck.
Volvo V60 Puncture Recovery from the M9
Modern vehicles such as this Volvo V60 can sometimes make a simple puncture more complicated than it once was.
If there is no usable spare wheel, the tyre is badly damaged or a temporary repair isn't suitable, vehicle recovery may be the safest option.
Because this puncture occurred during the evening and most tyre centres were closed, there was little benefit in transporting the Volvo directly to a garage.
Instead, we recovered the vehicle back to the owner's business premises where it could remain safely overnight before a replacement tyre was arranged the following day.
M9 Motorway Recovery When Garages Are Closed
Breakdowns and punctures don't conveniently happen during normal garage opening hours.
Falkirk Recovery provides M9 Motorway Recovery for motorists who experience problems during evenings, nights and weekends, including situations where repair garages and tyre centres have already closed.
Depending on the circumstances, we can transport your vehicle to:
Your home address
Your workplace or business premises
A local garage
A tyre centre
A dealership
A specialist repair centre
Another safe location of your choice
This means you don't necessarily need to find an open garage immediately before arranging recovery.
Puncture Recovery on the M9
A puncture can happen with very little warning, particularly when a tyre strikes debris, metal or other objects lying on the carriageway.
At motorway speeds, it's particularly important to avoid continuing to drive on a tyre that has rapidly lost pressure.
Our M9 Motorway Recovery service can assist vehicles suffering problems including punctures, tyre damage, wheel damage, engine faults, clutch failure, gearbox problems, electrical faults, overheating and non-starting issues.
Where roadside repair isn't practical, the vehicle can be fully loaded onto our recovery truck and transported to a suitable destination.
