Puncture repair service


Our workshop is equipped to carry out safe puncture repairs in compliance with British Standard BS AU 159 and provide a permanent patch repair that seals both the damage to the tyre through to the inner liner, providing the puncture meets with certain criteria and is judged to be in a safe condition to be repaired.

Tyre pressure monitoring system

All cars registered after 1st January 2012 will have a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) which is fitted to cars to monitor the air pressure within the tyres and to warn the driver if they drop below the recommended levels. If the pressure drops more than 20% below the manufacturer's recommended pressure then the system alerts the driver by a visual and/or audible warning inside the car. Most tyre blow outs are caused by driving on under inflated tyres and a TPMS system increases your safety by reducing the chance of these incidents. Driving with under-inflated tyres also uses more fuel and tyre wear so having a TPMS system also saves you money on fuel and increases tyre life. All new vehicles sold in the EU now must have a form of TPMS fitted to them by law.

 

Most TPMS systems use a tyre pressure sensor which is attached to the back of the tyre valve. Until recently motorists had to return to their main dealer to buy replacement tyre pressure sensor valves and have them fitted and then programmed to work with the car. Our workshop can supply and reprogram them for you at much less cost.
