Tyre Damages That Need Attention

Apart from abrupt punctures, it is important to address other forms of tyre damages too in order to prevent accidents. These include:

• Slow punctures caused by sharp objects
• Exposed chords
• Tyre sidewall damage/ bulges
• Bead damage

To detect these occurrences, we advise car owners to opt for a free tyre check once a month. Inspections are crucial to determine whether your car tyres need repairment or if they need to be replaced.

How We Determine Whether Tyres Can Be Repaired?

Our experts perform multiple standardised checks to ensure whether a damaged tyre is safe to be repaired. These checks include:

• Checking whether the tread depth is more than 1.6mm
• Inspecting if any holes exceed 6mm
• Looking for exposed chords

If we come across any of these signs we do not proceed with a puncture repair Dundee. Instead, we recommend an immediate tyre replacement service.

Our Puncture Repair Process

We have experienced technicians working with us to deliver swift puncture repair solutions. They follow the below-mentioned procedure for repairing:

Step 1: First, they unmount the wheel and tyre to clean the affected area.

Step 2: Next, we use a tool to push a plug into the hole from the inside.

Step 3: An experienced mechanic carefully cuts the excess plug to ensure it does not pop from the tyre's surface.

Step 4: Now, we apply a patch by positioning it over the affected site and press it firmly against the tyre surface.

Step 5: After this, we cure the patch by following the manufacturer's instructions for curing time and conditions.

Step 6: After curing, we inspect the repaired area for any signs of leaks. On confirming that there are no more issues, we remount the wheel onto your vehicle.

If that sounds convincing, consider ending your searches for ‘puncture repairs near me’.
