Puncture repair in Lochmaddy
Most punctures show up as a slow leak in the morning or a sudden deflation after a kerb strike or a screw on the road. We come to you, inspect the tyre, and tell you honestly whether a safe repair is possible. Lochmaddy is part of our regular Western Isles cover — the same mobile fleet, dispatched to your location.
When a puncture can safely be repaired
A puncture is only safely repairable if the damage is in the central tread area, the tyre is undamaged elsewhere, and there is no sign of internal cord damage. Any sidewall damage, bulge, run-flat that has been driven on flat, or repeated punctures usually means the tyre needs to be replaced rather than repaired.
- Damage is in the central tread area
- Hole is small enough for an internal patch-plug
- No sidewall damage and no visible bulge
- Tyre has not been driven on flat for a long distance
When a tyre should be replaced instead
Sidewall damage, internal cord damage, large gashes, run-flats that have been driven on flat, or any sign of a bulge in the wall mean the tyre is no longer safe. Replacement is the right answer in those cases.
