Repairs and wheel work
Most of these jobs take under an hour, so you can wait in the lounge or leave the keys at the counter.
Puncture repair
The tire comes off the rim so we can see the inside, then a combined plug and patch seals the hole from within.
Per tirefrom $30
Wheel alignment
Toe, camber and caster measured on a four wheel rig, then set back to the carmaker's figures.
Four wheelsfrom $110
Wheel balancing
A shake through the steering wheel at speed usually means a weight has fallen off. Each wheel is spun and rebalanced.
Per wheelfrom $15
Tire rotation
Front tires wear faster on most cars. Swapping them front to back at regular intervals evens out the wear.
Four wheels$35
Pressure sensor service
Warning light on the dash? We read each sensor, renew its seal, replace one with a flat battery and reset the system.
New sensorfrom $55
Locking nut removal
Lost the key for a locking wheel nut? In most cases we take it off without marking the wheel, then fit a standard nut.
Per nutfrom $20
Can the puncture be repaired?
Where the damage sits decides the answer. We show you the hole before we suggest anything, and a repair is always our first choice.
| Where the damage is | What we usually find | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| A nail or screw in the middle of the tread | A small hole with sound rubber around it | Repair from inside with a plug patch |
| Near the shoulder, where tread meets sidewall | The tire flexes too much there for a repair to hold | Replace the tire |
| A cut, bubble or bulge on the sidewall | Broken cords inside the casing | Replace it before the car goes further |
| The tire was driven on while flat | Often a crushed inner wall, even when the outside looks fine | Inspect inside, and repair only if the wall is sound |
| Two holes close together | Repairs that would overlap | Replace the tire |
| A run flat tire | Some makers allow one repair and others none | Follow the maker's guidance for that tire |
Repair limits come from tire makers and national standards, which differ between countries. Where two rules disagree, we follow the stricter one.
How a tire quote works
Tires are not sold through the site, because the right one depends on the size, the load rating and the way you drive.
Read the sidewall
The size looks like 205/55 R16 91V. Send it with the make, model and year of the car, or call and read it out.
Pick a price band
Within two working hours we reply with budget, mid range and premium options, each shown as a fitted price.
Book the bay
Common sizes are in stock, and most others arrive by the next morning. The slot is booked once the tires are here.
Fitted and checked
Balanced, torqued and set to the right pressures, with the old tires sent for recycling.
When is a tire worn out?
Every country sets its own legal minimum tread depth, and some set a different one for winter tires or for vans. Grip in the wet fades well before that limit, so our advice is to replace a tire at about 3 mm whatever the local rule says.
Age matters as well. A four digit code on the sidewall shows the week and year a tire was made, and older rubber hardens even when the tread looks deep.
- Tread level with the wear bars inside the grooves
- Cracks in the sidewall or between the tread blocks
- A bubble, a bulge or cords showing through
- Wear on one edge only, which points to alignment
Inside the bays
Four bays, one alignment rig and a storeroom stocked with the common sizes. Drivers are welcome to watch through the lounge window.
From drivers (example reviews)
A screw in the tread on a Monday morning, repaired from the inside and back on the road within forty minutes. They showed the hole before fixing it.
The quote came back with three options and a plain note on which one suited our mileage. The bill at the counter matched it exactly.
The car had pulled to the left for months. After the alignment it runs straight, and the printout showed every angle they changed.
Questions drivers ask at the counter
Can tires be bought on the website?
No. Tires are quoted by phone or through the form, because the right choice depends on the size, the load and speed ratings and the driving you do. Every quote is a fitted price with balancing and recycling included.
How long does a fitting take?
About 45 minutes for a set of four with balancing, and about an hour and a half when an alignment is added. The lounge has seats, coffee and wifi.
Can every puncture be repaired?
No. Damage near the shoulder or on the sidewall, and tires driven on while flat, usually have to be replaced. We show you the damage and explain why before suggesting a new tire.
What is the legal minimum tread depth?
It depends on where you drive. Each country sets its own minimum, and some have separate rules for winter tires or vans. We measure every tire, tell you what it reads, and suggest replacing at about 3 mm.
Is an alignment needed with new tires?
Not always. If the old tires wore evenly and the car runs straight, the alignment is probably fine. Uneven wear, a car that pulls, or a hard knock against a curb or pothole are good reasons to check it.
How are bookings and payment handled?
Choose a service and a time, and we confirm the slot by text or email within the working day. Work is paid at the counter when it is finished, and tires ordered in for you take a 20 percent deposit.
