OUR MOBILE PUNCTURE REPAIR SERVICE
A proper puncture repair starts by identifying the cause of the problem, not simply treating the visible hole. We assess the puncture, tyre pressure and overall condition before deciding whether a safe, permanent repair is appropriate.

Where suitable, repair the tyre using an appropriate permanent method in accordance with BS AU 159G:2013.

No. Repair suitability depends on the location and extent of the damage, the tyre's condition and the manufacturer's guidance. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder, for example, will generally mean the tyre needs replacing rather than repairing.

The cost depends on the damage, the work required and your location. The tyre must be assessed to determine whether a repair is suitable. Contact our team to confirm availability and any applicable charges before booking.
The time required depends on the tyre, the location of the puncture and the work needed. Additional inspection or complications may take longer. The technician can advise once the tyre has been assessed.
A nail or screw in the tread may be repairable, but it depends on the puncture's position and the condition of the tyre. Avoid removing the object yourself, as this can cause the tyre to lose pressure more quickly. A proper inspection is needed before deciding on a repair.
Driving on a flat or significantly underinflated tyre can damage the tyre and wheel and may affect vehicle control. Stop somewhere safe and do not continue driving on a flat tyre. Arrange assistance to have it assessed.
