How a mobile puncture repair works
Find it
We find the puncture and check the whole tyre for damage.
Decide
If the damage is in the repairable part of the tread, we repair it. If not, we explain why and offer a replacement.
Refit
The wheel goes back on and the tyre is set to the right pressure.
What can and cannot be repaired
A small puncture in the central tread area can usually be repaired. A puncture in the sidewall or at the edge of the tread cannot, because those parts of the tyre flex too much for a repair to be safe.
Driving on a flat tyre can wreck the sidewall and turn a simple repair into a replacement. If you can, stop driving and call us.
Common questions
Can you repair a puncture at the roadside?
We come to wherever the car is safely parked. If you are on a live road or motorway, get to safety and call your breakdown provider first.
Is a repaired tyre safe?
When a puncture is in a repairable area and is repaired properly, yes. We only repair when it is safe, and we tell you straight when a tyre needs replacing.
Do you repair run-flat tyres?
Run-flat tyres can have extra limits on repair. Tell us your car and tyre size when you call and we will advise.
