Tyre Puncture Repairs
Your tyre is essential to a vehicle. You cannot drive a car with a flat tyre for obvious reasons. It can cause severe accidents and damage to your vehicle. Tyre punctures are the leading causes of a flat tyre and need to be repaired immediately.
What is a tyre puncture?
A tyre puncture is when a sharp object comes in contact with your tyre, penetrating the tread, causing your tyre to lose air pressure.
The most common culprits of tyre punctures include nails, screws and other road debris such as bolts, sharp rocks, broken glass, branches, animal horns and leftover construction materials.

Three signs it's time to
repair your tyre.
1. Your car feels heavier.
If one or more of your tyres are flat, your car will start to feel heavier on one side and might start rocking or vibrating due to the lack of balance.
2. Difficulty steering the vehicle.
This often occurs when deflation happens slowly.
3. There is a regular ticking or clicking noise.
If you hear a clicking or ticking noise in regular intervals, it's probably the nail or whatever caused the puncture making contact with the road as you drive.
