Here's what you can expect when you hire a tyre specialist through Airtasker:

Assessing the Damage

Your Tasker will first assess your tyres by detaching them from the rim. This process is crucial as it will determine whether or not the puncture has caused further internal issues. If a small object like a nail or screw has created a hole on the tread, and it's less than 5mm in diameter, then your wheels can still be repaired. However, if there is more significant damage located in your tyre's shoulder or sidewall, then it's no longer usable and needs replacing.

Car Tyre Puncture Repair

There are three ways to repair tyres: plug, patch, or the combined plug and patch. Repairing tyres with either a plug or patch is only considered to be a temporary fix. Meanwhile, the combined plug and patch repair is the industry's most recommended practice as it can fully seal the entire punctured area without making too much fuss. Your mechanic will perform the plug and patch to repair your wheels. This procedure involves a mushroom plug, which will be pressed deeply into the damaged area from the inside out. It will then be finished by patching and coating the surface.

Tyre Fitting

Once done, the tyre will be fitted back to the rim. After inflating, it's essential to have a wheel balance check to prevent any problems while driving. You can also do a quick test drive with your mechanic to ensure that your newly repaired tyres are good as new!
