Tyre Repairs – Ringwood

A puncture or damaged tyre doesn’t always mean a full replacement, and knowing the difference can save you money. At FitnFix Auto, we assess and repair tyres on all makes and models, where it’s safe and legal to do so.

Can a Punctured Tyre Always Be Repaired?

Not always. A repair is usually possible if the damage is within the central tread area and within a certain size limit, and if the tyre hasn’t been driven on while flat. Damage to the sidewall, or a puncture too close to the edge of the tread, generally means the tyre needs replacing instead.

Signs You Might Have a Slow Puncture

• The tyre pressure warning light appearing intermittently
• Needing to top up air more often than usual
• A slight pulling sensation while driving
• Visible objects such as nails or screws in the tread

Is It Safe to Drive on a Punctured Tyre?

It’s best not to. Driving on a flat or significantly under-inflated tyre can damage the tyre beyond repair and affect handling, so it’s worth having it checked as soon as you notice a problem.

How Long Does a Tyre Repair Take?

Most tyre repairs can be completed quickly, often within half an hour, depending on how busy we are and whether the wheel needs balancing again afterwards.

Why Choose FitnFix Auto for Tyre Repairs?

We’ll always assess whether a repair is genuinely safe and legal before carrying it out, rather than repairing a tyre that should be replaced. If a repair isn’t suitable, we’ll explain why and talk you through replacement options instead.

If you’ve picked up a puncture or noticed a slow leak, bring your car to FitnFix Auto, and we’ll take a look.

Every job we do is backed by clear communication, fair pricing, and a 12-month or 12,000-mile labour guarantee, and our reputation in Ringwood has been built on years of honest, straightforward work.
