Do not ignore the change
When a tyre needs checking
Tyres are the only part of the car in contact with the road. Pressure loss, impact damage and uneven wear can affect grip, braking and how the car feels. A quick inspection can distinguish a repairable issue from a tyre that should be replaced.
- Repeated pressure loss after inflating the tyre
- A nail, screw or other object visible in the tread
- Cracks, cuts or a bulge on the tread or sidewall
- Uneven wear across one part of the tyre
- Vibration or a change in handling while driving
- A tyre pressure warning that returns after resetting
Inspection before recommendation
How we deal with a tyre problem
Identify the tyre
We confirm the size and specification and listen to what you have noticed.
Inspect the condition
We assess the damage, wear and whether a safe repair is appropriate.
Explain the options
We provide a quote for the suitable repair or replacement before proceeding.
The right tyre, not a vague price
Why we quote after inspection
Tyre prices vary considerably by size, load rating, speed rating, brand and availability. A puncture also needs to be inspected before anyone can say that a repair is safe. That is why we quote after checking the tyre rather than advertising a price that may not apply to your car.
Bring the vehicle to our Hadley workshop or include the registration and tyre size in your appointment request. We will use that information to help identify the correct option.

Some punctures can be repaired safely, but this depends on the location and type of damage and the overall condition of the tyre. We inspect it before recommending a repair or replacement.
How much will a tyre cost?

What tyre information should I provide?
