Know what caused the flat before deciding
More than a surface glance
We inspect the tread, sidewall and damage position before considering a repair.
No unsafe repair promise
We recommend replacement when the tyre falls outside safe repair conditions.
Checks at the vehicle
We assess the puncture where the car stands, reducing further tyre use.
Find the cause of repeated pressure loss
A tyre that keeps losing air is asking for attention. You may spot a screw in the tread, find the car sitting low after it was parked or see a pressure warning return after inflation. We carry out mobile puncture repair assessments at the vehicle in Wimborne, saving you from driving on a tyre that may worsen. We identify the affected wheel, locate the source of the leak and inspect the tread, sidewall and general condition. The tyre's internal state and the position of the damage matter as much as the size of the hole. Once we've completed the checks, we can explain whether a repair is safe or whether the tyre needs replacing.
A repair depends on where the damage sits
Not every puncture can or should be repaired. Damage in the central tread area may be repairable if the tyre otherwise passes inspection. A punctured sidewall, exposed cords, cracking or harm caused by driving while flat can rule that out. We won't use a repair simply to delay an unavoidable replacement. During a mobile visit, we examine the tyre, assess the fault and reinflate it where appropriate before making final checks. If replacement is needed, we can identify the correct specification and discuss the next step. Our Wimborne service gives you a practical answer at the vehicle rather than leaving you to guess whether the tyre will hold air.
Frequently asked questions
Can a screw or nail puncture always be repaired?
No. The location and angle of the damage, the tyre's condition and any harm from running flat all affect the decision. A small hole in the main tread may be repairable, but sidewall and shoulder damage generally require replacement.
Why does my tyre lose pressure after I inflate it?
A slow puncture, leaking valve or poor seal can cause repeated pressure loss, but inspection is needed to locate the fault. Note how quickly the pressure drops and tell us about any visible object. Avoid repeatedly driving and topping it up without a check.
Can you inspect a tyre that went flat while parked?
Yes. Leave the vehicle where it is if the position gives safe access and don't drive on the flat tyre. We can inspect it at the location, look for the source of the leak and determine whether repair or replacement is the suitable outcome.
