Puncture repairs
in Sea Point.
A nail is a repair,
not a new tyre.

Punctures plugged and patched properly, either at our base or wherever the car is standing when it goes flat.

In short

Puncture Repairs

Most punctures are repairable and most people replace the tyre anyway because nobody told them otherwise. If the damage is in the tread area and the tyre has not been driven flat, it can usually be repaired from the inside and put back into service. If it cannot be saved, we will say so rather than patch something that is going to fail on the M6 out to Camps Bay.

Scope

What this covers

Repaired from the inside

The tyre comes off the rim so the damage can be seen and patched from the inside. An outside-only plug is a get-you-home fix, not a repair.

Mobile puncture call-outs

Flat in a parking garage or outside the flat. We come to the car rather than you limping to us on a space-saver.

We tell you when it cannot be saved

Sidewall damage, a cut across the shoulder, or a tyre that has been run flat cannot be repaired safely. You will hear that from us before any money changes hands.

Balanced afterwards

A repaired wheel gets rebalanced before it goes back on, because the patch and the removed weight both change the balance.

Spare wheels checked

While the wheel is off, we will check that the spare is actually inflated. Most are not.

Questions

Puncture repairs — the usual questions.

Can every puncture be repaired?
No. Damage in the tread area is usually repairable. Damage in the sidewall or on the shoulder is not, and neither is a tyre that has been driven on while flat, because the inner liner will already be destroyed.
Is a repaired tyre safe at highway speed?
A properly done internal repair in the tread area is. That is the whole reason the tyre comes off the rim rather than being plugged from outside in the parking lot.
How much does a puncture repair cost?
Far less than a tyre. WhatsApp us and we will give you the figure up front, including the call-out if you want us to come to you.
My tyre keeps going soft but I cannot see a nail.
That is often the valve or a slow leak at the bead rather than a puncture. It is worth having looked at, because a slow leak becomes a flat at the worst possible moment.
