Many tread-area punctures can be assessed and repaired on site, while sidewall damage, severe cuts or a badly damaged tyre may require replacement. The right decision depends on the tyre condition and safety requirements.
Common signs of a puncture
A tyre-pressure warning light, repeated pressure loss, a visibly soft tyre, vibration, pulling to one side or a sudden change in handling can all indicate tyre trouble. Stop driving if continuing could damage the tyre or rim.
Repair or replacement?
A technician checks the position and size of the damage, tread condition and overall integrity. Damage near the sidewall or shoulder is generally more serious than a small puncture in the main tread area.
Mobile repair process
After confirming your location and vehicle details, a mobile unit attends, inspects the tyre and explains the suitable option before work begins. When safe and possible, the repair or replacement is completed where the vehicle is parked.
Avoid making the damage worse
Driving on an under-inflated or flat tyre can turn a repairable problem into a replacement and may damage the wheel. If the tyre is clearly flat, stop in a safe place and arrange assistance.
