  • Car pulling to one side

If you notice any of these, stop driving and get your tyre checked ASAP to avoid bigger issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most puncture repairs are completed within the same day, allowing you to get back on the road quickly.

The cost depends on the extent of the damage, but repairs are generally more affordable than replacements. Contact us for a free quote.

You’ll likely need a new tyre if:

  • Damage is on the sidewall or shoulder
  • There are multiple punctures in one area
  • Tyre tread is below NZ legal minimum (1.5mm)
  • You’ve had a blowout or major impact

Safety is our priority—we only suggest replacement when necessary.

Most small punctures (under 6mm) in the tread area can be safely fixed. Repairs aren’t possible if:

  • The puncture is on or near the sidewall
  • The tyre was driven on flat causing internal damage
  • The puncture is larger than 6mm
  • The tyre is excessively worn or has multiple prior repairs

If repair isn’t safe, we’ll recommend replacement and help you find the right tyre for your needs.
