Before you pay for a replacement, ask whether your punctured tyre can be safely repaired. At our Walsall workshop most punctures in the tread area can be repaired to British Standard BS AU 159 for a fraction of the cost of a new tyre - usually while you wait with a coffee.
Sidewall damage, large tread punctures and run-flat tyres driven deflated generally cannot be repaired safely. If that applies to yours we will show you exactly why and quote for a like-for-like replacement before doing any work.
Based in central Walsall, Marlows Tyre and Valeting looks after drivers across the Black Country. Choose your area to see local availability, or visit us at the depot - most jobs are finished within the hour.
Repairs have limits. Damage in the sidewall or shoulder zone, or a tyre run flat for some distance, cannot be repaired safely under industry guidance - and run-flats driven deflated are usually written off even when they look fine. We explain the reason, show you the tyre and quote honestly, with no obligation to buy.
Corroded alloy beads, cracked valves and porous sidewalls all cause slow leaks, and all are diagnosed free at our depot. Whatever is draining your pressure, we find the cause before we reach for the repair kit.
A properly repaired tread-area puncture to BS AU 159 restores the tyre to safe service. Repairs are only performed where the damage falls inside manufacturer guidelines.
Most repairs are completed in twenty to thirty minutes while you wait.
