A nail collected on a building-site approach in Whitley or a slow puncture that keeps going down in Woodley is not always the end of a tyre. We send mobile units across Reading to find the leak, judge the damage and tell you honestly whether a repair is permitted.
A nail collected on a building-site approach in Whitley or a slow puncture that keeps going down in Woodley is not always the end of a tyre. We send mobile units across Reading to find the leak, judge the damage and tell you honestly whether a repair is permitted.
Every repair follows BS AU 159, the British Standard that confines proper fixes to the central tread and forbids work on the sidewall or shoulder. If the puncture is in the safe area and the tyre is otherwise sound, repairing it costs far less than buying new. Where it cannot be done safely, we explain the reason and fit a replacement rather than send you off on a patch that will not last.
Reading has constant development around the centre and the business districts, so screws and nails on access roads are a frequent cause of punctures. Heavy commuter mileage also means slow leaks often go unnoticed until pressure drops on the M4. We always check the inner liner, because a tyre run soft can suffer hidden internal damage even when it looks fine outside.
The puncture repair situations Reading drivers call us out to most:
A screw in the tread is removed and the tyre is internally patched on the drive within the hour.
A slow puncture is traced to a leaking valve, fixed for a fraction of a replacement cost.
Sidewall damage rules out a repair, so we explain why and fit a new tyre on the spot.
We also attend roadside puncture repair on the main routes through Reading, including M4 (J10–12), A33, A329(M) and more — day and night.
Significantly. A compliant repair is a small fraction of replacement cost, so we always check repairability first.
Yes. We pressure or water test the tyre to pinpoint a tiny embedded object or a faulty valve causing the leak.
Sidewall or shoulder damage, large cuts, or evidence the tyre was run flat all mean a safe repair is not possible.
A repair done to standard in the central tread restores the tyre for full normal use, including motorway speeds.

Called at 10am, the fitter arrived with Bridgestone tyres at 10:45am and was finished by 11:15am. Very reasonably priced and great communication, would definitely use again.
