PUNCTURE REPAIR

HOW IT WORKS

1. 1

   We find the puncture

   Where the object has gone in, how deep it is, whether it is in the tread or the shoulder, and how much tread is left.

2. 2

   Off the rim, we look inside

   A tyre that has been driven flat can be damaged on the inside with nothing to see on the outside. That is the part that decides whether it can be repaired.

3. 3

   We tell you straight

   If the damage is in the central three-quarters of the tread, 6 mm or smaller, and the inside is sound, it is a British Standard repair. If it is not, we say so and give you a price for a replacement tyre.

4. 4

   We repair it from the inside

   The hole is cleaned out and a combination plug-and-patch is fitted that seals the hole and the inner liner. That is a permanent repair, not a temporary string plug.

5. 5

   Back on the car

   A new rubber valve goes in, and the tyre is refitted, inflated and balanced. The wheel goes back on and is torqued to spec. About 20 to 30 minutes while you wait.
