A puncture doesn't always mean a new tyre. In many cases we can carry out a safe, permanent repair that gets you back on the road quickly and saves you the cost of a replacement.
All our puncture repairs are carried out to British Standard BS AU 159 — the industry standard for safe tyre repairs. We'll assess your tyre honestly and only recommend replacement when it's genuinely necessary.
Not every puncture can be safely repaired. Here's what determines whether a repair is possible.
A safe, permanent repair carried out properly — every time.
We remove the tyre from the wheel and carry out a thorough inspection inside and out to establish whether a safe repair is possible.
The puncture area is cleaned and buffed to ensure a proper bond — this is a critical step that's often skipped on poor quality repairs.
A BS AU 159 compliant mushroom plug is applied from the inside of the tyre — this is the only safe method of permanent puncture repair.
The tyre is refitted to the wheel, inflated to the correct pressure and balanced before being put back on your vehicle.
Everything you need to know about getting a puncture repaired in Wigan.
Not all punctures can be safely repaired. A repair is only possible if the damage is in the central three-quarters of the tread area, the hole is no larger than 6mm, and the tyre has no other structural damage. We will always give you an honest assessment — if it can be repaired safely, we'll repair it.
Most puncture repairs take 20–30 minutes and are carried out while you wait at our Markland Street garage in Wigan. No appointment needed — just turn up.
Yes — when carried out correctly to British Standard BS AU 159, a puncture repair is completely safe and restores the tyre to full working condition. We only carry out repairs that meet this standard.
Generally no — most run-flat tyre manufacturers recommend replacement rather than repair after the tyre has been driven on in a deflated state. We'll assess your tyre and advise you honestly on the safest option.
