Truck Puncture Repair

No. Damage location, size, casing condition and previous repairs affect suitability. The tyre must be assessed before a repair is authorised.

A photograph can help explain the symptoms, but cannot show all internal damage or establish repairability on its own.

Yes. Report whether the tyre deflates slowly or suddenly. The source of the pressure loss needs to be identified rather than assuming a tread puncture.

It can damage the casing. Tell the fitter how far and under what conditions the vehicle was driven after pressure loss.

Leave assessment to the fitter and avoid unnecessary handling. Report the object and location if it is safe to observe.

The fitter explains why and discusses a suitable replacement, availability and price before further work is agreed.

Cost depends on whether the fault is repairable, the inspection and removal required, the location and any replacement tyre or valve work needed. Agree the assessment and call-out charge first.

Describe how quickly pressure falls, where damage is visible and whether the truck was driven after the warning or deflation. Give the tyre size and wheel position. Call 0800 111 6480 to confirm the scope, price and attendance.
