Puncture Repairs

Add to your booking

Have you had a tyre puncture in Morley, Dianella, Maylands, Bayswater, Bedford and The Northern Perth Region? Tyrepower Morley can help. Your first priority is to find a safe place to remove the punctured tyre and fit the spare, making sure that you're out of the way of any traffic. If you need assistance, give us a call on 08 9275 3394 and we'll do our best to help over the phone.

Your next priority is to get the punctured tyre repaired, or replaced, as soon as possible, especially if your spare tyre is a space saver or speed limited. You can tell if it's a space saver tyre, as they're generally smaller in size than your regular tyres.

Call into Tyrepower Morley at 27A Rudloc Road, Morley and we can give you some options for fixing the puncture if possible, or a replacement tyre. Do you need to repair or replace? Check out the below diagram for a guide.

Have you had a tyre puncture in Morley? Tyrepower Morley can help.

Almost every day, we are visited by customers from Morley, Dianella, Maylands, Bayswater, Bedford and The Northern Perth Region and surrounding suburbs, asking us if we can repair their punctured tyres, or at least find out why they have a persistent slow leak. We are always happy to assist in repairing the tyre, but it seems that most customers are unaware of how we go about it.

The first thing that we have to assess is whether the tyre can be repaired. Firstly, the tyre must be in serviceable condition, which means it must not be too old, have legal tread and the offending object causing the puncture must not be too close to the edge of the tyre. The only legal tyre repair is the one using what we call a “combi repair”, and they only work correctly if installed within a minimum distance to the edge of the tyre. We use a gauge which allows us to verify that distance.

Key points to note:

  • Tyres cannot be repaired more than twice. If a tyre that has already been repaired receives a third puncture then the tyre must be replaced.

  • If a puncture occurs closer than 40 cms to an existing repair then a second repair is not possible. The tyre must be replaced.

The video above demonstrates the repair procedure, which is much more complex than motorists generally understand. The repairs are fully warrantable and rarely fail.

So-called “run-flat” tyres may be repairable but in general are not, and a new tyre may be the only solution. We always offer a detailed explanation of the reasons for a repair or otherwise.

Most puncture repairs will be done as soon as possible, especially if your tyre is a space saver or speed limited.
