Yes, providing the tyre is repairable under UK safety standards. We can only repair a punctured tyre if the puncture is in the central tread. Outside this zone usually requires a complete replacement.

To check if your tyres are safe, use a 20p coin. If the inner rim is hidden, your tyre is likely safe with at least 3mm of tread. If you can see the outer rim, it might be less than 3mm and unsafe. You can also speak to one of our technicians for a safety check.
The longevity of 2mm of tread on your tyres can vary depending on various factors, with usage being a key consideration. In general, with only 2mm of tread depth remaining, you can expect to drive for approximately 1,000 miles before the tyres reach a point where they need to be replaced.
The lifespan of a new tyre can vary significantly, influenced by both the type of tyre and how it’s used. Different tyres have different tread patterns and rubber compounds, which affect their durability. Factors like driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance practices also play a role in determining how long a tyre will last.

Wheel Balancing
We recommend booking a rebalancing session once a year, especially with older vehicles. It doesn’t take long, but it can save you a lot of money long-term.
If you don’t balance your wheels, you may experience uneven tyre wear, leading to a shorter tyre lifespan and potentially affecting your vehicle’s handling and safety.
Some signs that your wheels need re-balancing include uneven tyre wear or vibrations in the steering wheel, especially at higher speeds.
Wheel alignment
Ignoring wheel misalignment can prove costly. Over time, the gradual drift will lower fuel efficiency and require constant tyre replacements. It can even damage your suspension system, leading to extremely expensive repairs.
It’s sensible to be proactive, if you’re noticing problems, get checked.
We recommend getting your wheel alignment checked once per year. Combine this with a wheel balancing review or tyre rotation to save time.
Yes, wheel alignment is important as it ensures even tyre wear and better handling.
A telltale sign you may need a wheel alignment if your tyres wear unevenly or your car pulls to one side while driving.
TPMS Check
A TPMS check isn’t complicated: we review each sensor, ensure batteries are working, and reset the system if necessary. We’ll ensure that your TPMS can accurately detect changes in tyre pressure, such as a slow leak or sudden puncture.
Yes, a broken TPMS sensor is an automatic MOT fail since January 2015. Thankfully, replacing a broken sensor is an easy fix. Save yourself the headache and get it sorted ahead of time.
The most obvious sign that your TPMS needs checking is the warning light on your dashboard. It comes on if one or more of the sensors are faulty. Your vehicle should also alert you if the sensory battery is running low.
Of course, if you haven’t had your TPMS checked in a while (or there’s an MOT coming up), you can still get your TPMS inspected.
A TPMS check, or Tyre Pressure Monitoring System check, is a service where our technicians verify that your vehicle’s TPMS system is functioning correctly. The TPMS is a safety feature in modern cars that monitors the air pressure in your tyres.
Tyre Rotation
The ideal timing for tyre rotation is a topic discussed extensively online, but as a general guideline, we recommend scheduling a tyre rotation every 5,000 to 7,000 miles or approximately every six months, whichever comes first.
Rotating your tyres is generally a good idea as it helps ensure even wear across all four tyres. Uneven tyre wear can lead to reduced traction, handling issues, and the need for premature tyre replacement.
Tyre Safety Checks
Yes, it’s not uncommon that we identify uneven wear during a tyre safety check. The solution includes rebalancing the tyres, correcting alignment, or performing a tyre rotation. We can do all of this on the day.
Most tyre inspections are over within 15-20 minutes. That can be longer if an issue is identified or repairs and replacements are necessary.
We recommend getting your tyres checked every 6 months, or just before any long journey. It doesn’t take long and can be combined with other services.
To check if your tyres are safe, use a 20p coin. If the inner rim is hidden, your tyre is likely safe with at least 3mm of tread. If you can see the outer rim, it might be less than 3mm and unsafe. You can also speak to one of our technicians for a safety check.

Puncture Repairs
Yes, if correctly repaired, a previously punctured tyre should continue to function perfectly. If there’s any risk to your safety, we’ll always recommend a replacement. But generally, a repaired puncture is safe to drive on.
Usually, the most obvious sign of a puncture is that the tyre looks deflated. Modern vehicles contain a TPMS, with a sensor attached to each wheel. It detects any sudden or gradual loss of air pressure. In older vehicles, you should inspect your tyres every few months and look for signs of a slow leak.
Puncture repairs are quite quick, we’re usually finished in 20-30 minutes. If your tyre cannot be repaired, we can replace it. Replacing a tyre can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.
To check if your tyres are safe, use a 20p coin. If the inner rim is hidden, your tyre is likely safe with at least 3mm of tread. If you can see the outer rim, it might be less than 3mm and unsafe. You can also speak to one of our technicians for a safety check.
Whether it’s worth repairing a puncture depends largely on the size and location of the puncture in your tyre. Before proceeding with a repair, it’s advisable to have your tyres thoroughly checked by a professional technician.
The cost of a puncture repair can vary, so it’s advisable to contact us for accurate pricing details. Several factors can influence the cost, such as the type of tyre, the severity and location of the puncture, and any additional services or materials required for the repair.
The lifespan of a new tyre can vary significantly, influenced by both the type of tyre and how it’s used. Different tyres have different tread patterns and rubber compounds, which affect their durability. Factors like driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance practices also play a role in determining how long a tyre will last.

Battery Checks
If the issue is just a loose connection or mild corrosion, we can fix the problem, restoring your battery’s performance. For anything more serious, we recommend a complete battery replacement to minimise the risk of a sudden failure. The last thing you want is to get stranded because you didn’t get the battery replaced.
A battery check is incredibly quick. We can get it inspected within 5 minutes. Add it onto your existing services when you pop down for a new set of tyres or puncture repair.
We recommend getting your battery tested each year. It’s sensible to book your appointment sometime in September or October, before the cold weather sets in, or if your vehicle has sat unused for long periods.
A battery check is a routine diagnostic procedure to determine whether your vehicle’s battery functions optimally.
For a safe and quick assessment, you can speak to a technician who can help you understand the battery’s health.
