You top up the tyre every few days Air escapes through a small hole, the valve or the rim edge. The check shows where. The tyre pressure light came on We inflate the tyres and find the one losing air. If the light stays on, we check the sensor. You put in a plug or spray on the road That is temporary. Bring the tyre in so we inspect it and patch it from the inside. After spray, drive a short way and no faster than 80 km/h. The car cannot get to us We come and patch it on the spot.

Price It depends on the wheel size and the hole. We tell you the price after the check, before the work. Payment Cash or through a company. Place and time Tell us your city, we agree it by phone. What the price depends on * How big the wheel is: the number after the letter R on the tyre sidewall. * Whether the rim is steel or alloy. * What the hole is like and which patch it needs. * Whether the car has pressure sensors in the valves. ### Send us photos of the tyre Photograph the hole or the nail like this. 1. 1 The tyre sidewall, with the number after R 205/55R1691H From this number we only need: **R16** 2. 2 The hole or the nail, if you can see them So we can see whether the hole is in the tread or the sidewall. [Send the photos on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/381677741606) ## How we repair the tyre 1. 1 ### You send photos and tell us what happened Photograph the tyre sidewall. If you can see the hole, photograph it too. Send the photos on WhatsApp. Tell us whether the tyre is losing air slowly or is flat, and whether you drove on it flat. We agree the time by phone. 2. 2 ### We find the hole We inflate the tyre and find where the air escapes. 3. 3 ### We take the tyre off and inspect it from the inside We take the tyre off the rim and inspect it from the inside, especially the sidewall. We tell you whether the tyre can be repaired and what it costs. Work starts only when you agree. 4. 4 ### We patch the hole from the inside We clean the area around the hole and glue the patch on the inside of the tyre. When the hole goes through the tread, the patch also has a plug that fills the hole. 5. 5 ### We refit the tyre and balance it We put the tyre back on the rim and balance the wheel. We inflate it to your car's specification, check that it does not lose air and put the wheel back on the car. ## Plug, patch and mushroom A plug is pushed into the hole from the outside, without taking the tyre off. It is a quick, but temporary repair. A patch is glued on the inside, with the tyre off the rim. A mushroom is a patch and a plug in one piece: the patch holds from the inside, and the plug fills the hole through the tread. We repair from the inside, because then we also see whether the tyre is damaged on the inside. ## Repairing a tyre on the side A hole in the tyre sidewall is not repaired, even a small one. The same goes for the shoulder, the part where the tread turns into the sidewall. Such a tyre is replaced. The new tyre must be the same as the tyre on the other front wheel, or the other rear wheel: the same manufacturer, type and size. If there is no such tyre, both are replaced. [More about tyre changes](https://autoindustrija.rs/en/services/tyre-fitting) ## Do not drive on a flat tyre On a flat tyre the sidewall gets pinched between the rim and the road. That damages the part of the tyre that cannot be repaired. The rim, brakes and suspension can also suffer. When the tyre is flat, stop in a safe place and do not drive on. Call and tell us where the car is. [More about mobile tyre fitting](https://autoindustrija.rs/en/services/mobile-tyre-fitting) By regulation the car must have a spare wheel, or tyres that can be driven flat, or a repair kit supplied by the car manufacturer. Updated 27 October 2026. The mushroom plug goes through the hole, and the patch stays on the inside of the tyre. ## Questions How much does a tyre puncture repair cost? It depends on the wheel size, the type of rim and the hole. We tell you the price after the check, before the work. How long can I drive with a plug? A plug from the outside is a temporary repair. Bring a tyre with a plug in as soon as you can, so we inspect it from the inside. How long does a repaired tyre last? A well repaired tyre that was not driven flat lasts as if it had never been punctured. Do you repair run-flat tyres? Manufacturers of run-flat tyres, the ones that can be driven flat, mostly do not recommend repairs. Whether your tyre can be repaired, we will tell you when we inspect it. Does a repair need balancing afterwards? Yes. When the tyre is taken off the rim and put back, the wheel is balanced again.
