Patch Tyre

[silverbeam]

How much is it to patch a tyre? I thought usual is $10.

Today i had mine patched due to nail. Tyre shop charged $20.

Why? Because he says, 20" more expensive. I said mine is 19", then he said, 19" also.
"Because your type is luxury and big rim. Patching is USA type."

A nail hole is a nail hole. :screwedu:

Re: Patch Tyre

If you go back to the shop you bought your tyres from, it should be FOC or minimal.

Re: Patch Tyre

I was afraid that it would not survive the journey back to Ah Yang. Should have done it instead of paying double to hear lame irrelevant excuse.

Re: Patch Tyre

At least you can patch your tyres.

Everytime I kena a puncture, my regular tyre shop always say cannot patch, must change tyre.

Recently, I spotted a slight swell on the side wall of my tyre. I went back and asked the boss to take a look. He took a look and straight away say I damaged it myself (there was a slight crack around 2-3mm). I told him I didn't recall hitting anything but he kept insisting that it's my fault and I should replace the tyre (sounds familiar?).

I got pissed and left. I called the dealer and got the agent to take a look at my tyres.

Just got a call from the agent yesterday, they're replacing the tyre for me FOC.

I'm not going back to this tyre shop ever again. It saddens me that a tyre shop I have been patronising for more than 10 years has this kind of sucky after sales service.

Which tyre shop is that?

A swell (or bubble) in the tyre wall sometimes indicates a material defect and the tyre usually fails within a short time. Good that you actually caught it, I had a catastrophic rupture on my Michelins on the expressway and it was a harrowing experience. Problem was traced to a similar sidewall defect in the end.

Cool! I had a similar experience with my Michelin PS2 tires before but I kwai kwai change to a new set of tires when the tire shop asked me to. :errrrrrr:

Don't care where, as long as it is inside, he gets paid.

Re: Patch Tyre

Mine punctured today ...... Got it patched it for free.

Rear tire pressure dropped from 250 to 210.

Traction actually improved.
