Tyre Repairs That Hold Their Ground
Not every tyre needs to be replaced. A good repair—when done right—can add thousands of kilometres to your tyre’s life. We repair punctures from screws, nails, thorns and even slow leaks that creep up over time. Every job starts with a thorough check inside and out, because hidden damage is where the danger lies.
We only use proper plugs, patches and sealing methods, not temporary fix-ups. Whether it’s your daily runabout or your off-road rig, we’ll get you back on the road safely. And if it turns out the tyre isn’t worth fixing, we’ll tell you straight up—no pressure, no sales pitch.
It’s all about doing what’s best for you and your wheels, and making sure the fix lasts.


Can a punctured tyre always be repaired?
No, not always. It depends on the location and size of the puncture. Tyres can usually be repaired if the damage is in the central tread area and the hole is no larger than 6mm. If the puncture is too close to the sidewall, the tyre can’t be safely fixed.
Also, tyres with multiple repairs or internal damage might need replacing. A proper inspection by a tyre technician is the only way to know for sure.
Is it safe to drive on a repaired tyre?
Yes—if the repair is done correctly and the tyre is otherwise in good condition. A professionally repaired tyre using the right patch or plug method will restore the tyre’s integrity and keep it safe for everyday use.
Quick DIY sealants or temporary plugs, however, aren’t reliable and should only be used to get you to a repair shop.
How do I know if my tyre has a slow leak?
A slow leak might not be obvious at first. Look out for your tyre consistently losing pressure over a few days, or one tyre appearing flatter than the others. If your TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) keeps warning you about low pressure on the same tyre, that’s a sign too.
It could be a nail, a worn valve or a damaged bead seal.
