Puncture repair
Most punctures in the tread can be repaired properly from inside the tyre. We take the tyre off the rim, patch it and balance the wheel.
Time: About 20 to 30 minutes.
What to expect
- Hole found with soap or water
- Tyre off the rim, inside inspected
- Repair in the tread area only
- Plug-and-patch sealed from inside
- Refitted, inflated, wheel balanced
Questions drivers ask
Which punctures cannot be repaired?
A hole in the sidewall or shoulder, a cut over about 6 mm, or a tyre driven flat with a damaged liner. Then it is a new tyre.
Can a run-flat be repaired?
Only if it was not driven on flat. Most makers say otherwise it is replaced. We check the inside and tell you.
