Puncture Shop Near Me? The Shop Comes To You

A Puncture Shop With No Address

Let us be plain about it: TyreFix Dubai has no shop and no premises, so a search for a puncture (or "puncher") shop will not lead you to a door of ours. It leads to a van. The van carries what a good workshop keeps on its bench, and it drives to wherever the car has stopped.

That changes the order of events. At a fixed shop the job runs drive, wait, repair; here it runs stop, call, repair, and only the technician travels. You never have to find the nearest shop, check it is open, or ask a soft tyre to get you there.

What Is In The Back Of The Van

Open the rear doors and you are looking at a puncture shop folded into a van: compressor, jack, tyre machine, balancer, patch-plugs for a repair from the inside, a tread gauge, and tyres in the common sizes. The tyre comes off the rim, the hole is repaired from the inside, and the tyre goes back on balanced. What a shop does on its bench, we do on a mat beside your car.

Why Driving On To A Shop Costs You More

The instinct is to nurse the car to the nearest puncture shop, and it is the expensive way round. A soft or flat tyre runs on its own sidewall, and a few hundred metres is usually enough to wreck it from the inside: a hole a patch would have closed becomes a new tyre. A tyre that is only seeping air and keeps its shape can be eased onto a driveway or a forecourt nearby, but not across the city. Pull in, then call.

While You Wait For The Van

• Leave a nail or screw where it is. It is blocking the hole, and it shows us where the hole is.
• Choose where to stand. Behind the barrier on a motorway; with the car in a car park or a quiet street.
• Send three things. Your location, a photo of the sidewall for the size, and a photo of the damage.
• Find the locking wheel nut key, if the car has one.

When The Hole Cannot Be Repaired

Not every puncture can be repaired, and a shop that says otherwise is not doing you a favour. A nail or screw hole in the tread, about 6 mm at most, on a tyre with good tread gets a permanent plug-and-patch from the inside. A hole in the sidewall or the shoulder is a replacement whoever does the work, and so is a big cut or a tyre driven flat. If you sent the size, the new tyre is already on the van, so it is one visit. How we weigh it:repair or replace; the other side:tyre replacement.

Puncture Calls Across Dubai

Puncture shops tend to be small units in industrial areas, and so are the screws behind punctures: around Al Quoz most of what we find is a clean tread repair. At the Deira City Centre car parks, send the level and nearest pillar; in International City, the cluster name and building number.
