Mobile Puncture Repairs
Mobile Puncture Repairs
Punctures always occur at the worst possible moments possible. Whether it’s on the way to work or just before you leave for the school run, there’s rarely a convenient time for a puncture to happen. That’s why we offer a mobile puncture repair service which aims to quickly get you back on the road again.
How it Works
Book
After discovering a flat tyre you should call us at the earliest convenience for us to arrange for a fitter to come and either repair or replace the tyre to get you moving again.
Wait
Sit back and relax while we send someone to come and inspect the tyre to find the reason while the tyre lost pressure, after inspecting the tyre we will know if its safe to repair and advise the safest course of action.
Carry on
After the repair or replacement has been completed you can then enjoy the rest of your day, worry free knowing it has been done to the highest industry standard at a convenient place for you.
FAQs
-
We offer mobile puncture repairs to get you back on the road after experiencing a deflated tyre.
Unfortunately we do not offer this service out of hours.
-
While most punctures can be easily repaired, there are some instances where a replacement tyre is needed. We can repair a puncture if:
The puncture is within the central three-quarters of the tyre.
The tyre’s tread depth is over the legal minimum of 1.6mm.
There is no sidewall or shoulder damage to the tyre.
There is no run flat damage, which would affect the tyre’s structural make-up.
There is no ageing or deterioration of the tyre rubber.
-
While booking in for a puncture repair we will also need to quote you for a new tyre.
By doing this we can bring the replacement tyre with us to the appointment, by having a replacement tyre onboard at the time of inspection we can assess the tyre and repair if it’s safe to do so.
But if the tyre is not safe to repair the replacement tyre will be fitted instead.
if the replacement tyre is not needed you will only be charged for the repair.
British Standard BSAU159
British Standard BSAU159 also defines the requirements for safe minor car tyre puncture repair and its proximity to the sidewall. To remain compliant, we are only able to carry out tyre repairs to the central ¾ of the tyre (which is known as the minor repair area). If the puncture is situated outside of this area it is deemed too close to the sidewall to guarantee a safe and lasting minor repair and will not be attempted.
