Questions about flat repair
Can I walk in with a flat?
Yes. Flats get the next open bay. On a quiet weekday that's usually under an hour; during changeover weeks we'll tell you the real wait at the counter.
I drove on it flat for a few kilometres. Is it done?
Maybe. Driving flat can crush the inner sidewall. We'll check the inside for a crease or rubber dust. If it's damaged, we'll show you before suggesting a replacement.
