Mitcham workshop puncture assessment

Puncture repair in Mitcham starts with the condition of the tyre.

IQ Tyres removes the tyre from the rim and checks it internally and externally before deciding whether repair is appropriate. If the tyre does not support a safe repair, the workshop explains the replacement route before work is agreed.

Puncture assessment and repair take place at the Mitcham workshop. IQ Tyres does not provide mobile or roadside tyre repair.

Repairability decision

Can this punctured tyre be repaired?

A puncture may be repairable when the injury is in a suitable tread area and the tyre remains serviceable after inspection. The workshop decides after checking the damage, the rest of the tyre and the internal condition.

Assessment factor
Repair may be considered
Replacement may be required
Damage location
The inspection finds a suitable tread-area injury.
The injury sits near the shoulder or sidewall, or falls outside the repair route.
Tyre condition
The tyre remains otherwise serviceable after the inspection.
The tyre has significant additional damage, deterioration or unsafe wear.
Internal evidence
The internal inspection shows no concern that prevents a repair decision.
The inspection finds signs of prior under-inflation, structural concern or other damage.

How we assess punctures at IQ Tyres

The inspection checks beyond the visible hole.

A customer may see a nail or screw and expect a quick repair. The workshop still removes the tyre because the visible entry point cannot show whether the internal liner, casing or surrounding structure remains suitable for repair. The final recommendation follows that inspection, not the appearance of the hole alone.

02

Puncture repair questions

Answers before you travel to the workshop

Can every puncture be repaired?

No. Repairability depends on the location and nature of the damage, the tyre's condition and the result of an internal and external inspection. IQ Tyres recommends replacement if the tyre does not support a safe repair.

Can sidewall damage be repaired?

Damage on or near the sidewall is not part of the normal puncture-repair route. IQ Tyres inspects the tyre and explains the appropriate replacement route where repair is unsuitable.

Why is my tyre losing pressure slowly?

A slow pressure loss can have several causes. Bring the vehicle to the Mitcham workshop for inspection instead of repeatedly adding air, then use the slow-puncture guide for the detailed causes.

What happens if the tyre cannot be repaired?

IQ Tyres explains why repair is unsuitable, then routes you to a replacement new tyre or, where the need is urgent, an urgent workshop replacement discussion.

Where do you carry out puncture repairs?

IQ Tyres carries out puncture assessment and repair at its Mitcham workshop. It does not provide mobile or roadside tyre repair.
