Our Comprehensive Flat Tyre Repair Process
When you bring your vehicle to AJ Tyres, we follow a meticulous process to ensure a safe and durable repair. Our goal is not just to fix the immediate issue but also to check for potential problems that may affect your tyre’s performance in the future.
Step 1: Inspection & Diagnosis
Upon arrival, our technicians perform a thorough inspection of your tyre to determine the cause and severity of the damage. We check for visible punctures, leaks, or signs of excessive wear. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess whether the tyre can be repaired or if a replacement is necessary.
Step 2: Puncture Assessment
Not all flat tyres are repairable. According to industry standards, punctures that occur within the central tread area and are smaller than 6mm in diameter can be repaired. However, if the damage is located on the sidewall or is too extensive, a tyre replacement is the safest option. We ensure that our repairs comply with safety regulations to protect you from future risks.
Step 3: Advanced Repair Techniques
If the puncture is repairable, we use the most effective methods to restore your tyre’s integrity. The two primary repair techniques we use are:
Plugging – A rubber plug is inserted into the puncture to seal the hole and prevent air leakage.
Patching – A reinforced patch is applied to the inner lining of the tyre for a more durable repair.
Our technicians use a combination of both methods when necessary to provide maximum strength and longevity to the repaired tyre.
Step 4: Reinstallation & Testing
Once the repair is complete, the tyre is reinstalled on the wheel and inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure. We then conduct a thorough leak test to ensure that the repair is airtight and that no further issues are present.
Step 5: Safety Check & Final Inspection
Before handing your vehicle back, we conduct a final safety check to assess the overall condition of your tyres. We inspect tread depth, alignment, and balance to ensure your vehicle is in optimal condition for driving. If we identify any additional concerns, we provide professional recommendations on how to address them.
Signs That Your Tyre Needs Immediate Attention
A flat tyre is not always obvious. Sometimes, slow leaks or minor damage can go unnoticed until they become a serious issue. Here are some warning signs that indicate your tyre needs urgent repair or inspection:
Loss of Air Pressure – If you frequently need to refill your tyre, there may be a slow leak.
Visible Punctures or Cracks – Any visible damage to the tyre should be addressed immediately.
Vibrations While Driving – If your vehicle shakes or vibrates, it could indicate an issue with the tyre's balance or structural integrity.
Uneven Tread Wear – Worn-out treads reduce traction and can lead to dangerous driving conditions.
Bulges or Blisters – A bulging tyre is a sign of internal damage and requires immediate replacement.
When Should You Replace Instead of Repair?
While a high percentage of flat tyres can be repaired, there are situations where replacement is the only safe option. Our experts at AJ Tyres recommend a replacement if:
-The puncture is larger than 6mm
-The damage is located on the sidewall or shoulder
-There are multiple punctures close together
-The tread depth is below 1.6mm, which is the legal limit in Australia
-There is visible internal damage after a thorough inspection
We offer a wide range of high-quality tyres from leading brands, ensuring that you get the best replacement option for your vehicle.

Preventative Measures to Avoid Flat Tyres
While some flat tyres are unavoidable, you can take steps to reduce the risk of tyre damage. Here are some preventative measures:
Regularly Check Tyre Pressure – Underinflated or overinflated tyres are more prone to damage.
Inspect for Wear and Tear – Periodically check your tyres for cracks, bulges, and tread wear.
Avoid Road Hazards – Steer clear of potholes, sharp objects, and debris on the road.
Rotate Your Tyres – Regular tyre rotation ensures even tread wear and extends tyre life.
Get Routine Inspections – A professional tyre check-up can detect minor issues before they escalate.
