Tyre Repairs Near You From Verified Garages

Rely on the expert advice of a professional mechanic and see if a tyre repair is what’s best for your vehicle.
Is My Tyre Punctured?
A punctured tyre happens when your tyre loses pressure as a result of air escaping through a hole or damage to the tyre's structure.
Your tyre can be punctured by driving over sharp objects like nails or broken glass, but hitting the kerb can also cause damage to the tyre.
Your tyre may be punctured if you’ve noticed any of the following:
The car pulls to one side
A sway throughout the vehicle
Harder to control steering
A ticking noise
If your tyre is punctured, you’ll likely notice the signs suddenly – if you notice that performance is worsening over time, the issue could be something like tyre pressure dropping instead.
Do you have a punctured tyre? Any of the above warning signs can signal that it's time to book a repair.

Frequently asked questions
Continuing to drive with a flat tyre can damage your wheels and lead to more costly repairs – even a slow puncture can increase the risk of a blowout.
Whilst it may technically be possible to drive a short distance to have the tyre repaired, you could face a penalty and points on your driving licence if you travel longer distances with a known fault.
Save yourself the stress and book your tyre repair with a mobile mechanic that can come to you instead.
If you do experience a puncture when you’re driving, you should pull over when it is safe to do so.
Only change your tyre if you know how to and can do so safely – otherwise you should contact your breakdown provider.
Be sure to take all necessary safety precautions throughout – like indicating as you’re pulling over, wearing a hi-vis jacket and putting a warning triangle out if you can.
Run flat tyres are not designed to be used over long distances or at high speeds after they’ve been punctured.
As run flat tyres have reinforced sidewalls, it can be difficult to notice when you’ve got a puncture or for mechanics to spot any secondary damage that the tyre has.
For this reason, a mechanic won’t repair your run flat tyre as it won’t be clear just from assessing the tyre how far or fast the car has been driven following the puncture.
If you suspect that your run flat tyres are punctured, you should have them checked by a professional mechanic as soon as possible.
A slow puncture can be caused by potholes, debris or sharp objects that become embedded in the tyre tread.
Your car may have a slow puncture if you notice you need to inflate the tyre more often, or have spotted unusual behaviours like the car pulling to one side or road handling is less responsive.
Whilst you can sometimes repair a slow tyre puncture if there is no serious damage, getting new tyres may be the best option.
You should not drive with a slow puncture as this can make the vehicle unsafe to drive or end up costing you more to fix in the long run.
If a larger item has caused the damage, a replacement may be required.
Illegal tread depth, exposed cords and bead damage are just some of the reasons why a tyre may not be repairable.
