Puncture repair checks
Find out whether puncture repair or a new tyre is the right next step.
A puncture cannot be judged by looking at it from the kerb. Tell us what happened and whether the tyre has been driven while flat. A technician needs to inspect the damage before confirming a puncture repair.
When a puncture can usually be looked at for repair
Small damage in the central part of the tread, from a nail or screw, is the kind that can be considered for repair once the tyre is off the wheel and checked inside. Damage on the shoulder or the sidewall, a large cut, or a tyre that was driven flat usually means a new tyre.
What to tell us
- Where the tyre is damaged, if you can see it safely
- Whether it was driven flat, and how far
- Whether the wheel itself looks damaged
- Your full tyre size, in case a replacement is needed
