Most punctures are a nail or screw in the tread, and many can be repaired. A proper repair takes the tyre off the wheel so we can check the inside, then seals the hole from inside the tyre.
Whether a repair is safe depends on where the damage is and how big it is. Repairs are only made in the central part of the tread, never the shoulder or sidewall, and only when the tyre has not been damaged by being driven on flat. In the UK these limits are set out in a British Standard, and we work within them.
If it cannot be repaired, we tell you why. We can fit a new tyre instead, and the tyre search shows every one that fits your car with its fitted price.
Run-flat tyres are a special case: some makers do not allow them to be repaired at all. We check what your tyre's maker says.

Common questions
Why can a sidewall not be repaired?
The sidewall flexes constantly as the tyre turns, and a repair there would not hold. Damage in the shoulder or sidewall always means a new tyre.
Is a repaired tyre safe?
Yes, when the repair is done properly, from the inside and within the limits. A plug pushed in from outside is a roadside stopgap, not a repair.
My car has no spare wheel. What should I do?
Use the repair kit if there is one, or call your breakdown service. If sealant has gone in, tell us when you book, as it has to be cleaned out before a repair.
