Roadside procedure for tyre swap in St Davids
A roadside-assistance call in St Davids follows a fixed sequence: the dispatcher confirms the postcode (one of SA62), identifies the nearest available operator on the panel, and quotes the indicative band before the truck moves. Dyfed-Powys Police is the police force covering St Davids. covers the area; if the vehicle is on a public road and a constable attends before the operator, a police-instructed recovery may supersede the private booking.
Fit the vehicle's spare wheel, inflate a slow puncture or apply a temporary sealant where a spare is not carried, and decide whether the vehicle is safe to drive to a tyre fitter. The operator arrives with the appropriate roadside equipment, performs the service under PAS 43 working procedure (hi-vis, beacon, safe positioning relative to traffic), and completes a recovery sheet before leaving. No separate attendance fee is added if the fault turns out to be different from the description at booking, the price reverts to the appropriate service band.
