Do these three things now
- Stop using the tyreDriving can enlarge the puncture, damage the casing or harm the wheel.
- Leave the object in placeIf a screw or nail is visible, do not remove it before assessment; it may be slowing the air loss.
- Call with the tyre sizeProvide the registration, exact location and sidewall size so a replacement option can also be checked.
When is a puncture likely to be repairable?
A professional inspection is needed because the outside of the tyre does not reveal all internal damage. A small penetration in a repairable part of the main tread may be suitable, provided the tyre has enough legal tread, no dangerous structural damage and has not been harmed by running flat.
Damage near or in the sidewall, a split, exposed structure, severe wear or multiple unsafe defects will normally rule out a repair. Fuel Drain Scotland does not advertise unsafe sidewall repairs simply to offer a cheaper headline service.
What happens during mobile puncture repair?
The technician checks the tyre, wheel and reported cause of pressure loss. Where appropriate, the wheel is removed so the tyre can be examined and the puncture repaired correctly. The tyre is then reinflated and checked before the vehicle returns to use.
Sometimes the visible object is not the only problem. A leaking valve, damaged wheel, previous poor repair or internal damage may change the recommendation. The technician will explain the finding instead of assuming every air loss is the same.

Questions about this tyre problem
Advice reviewed by Fuel Drain Scotland LTD
Last updated 11 September 2026
Can you repair a nail in my tyre?
Possibly, but the tyre must be inspected. The nail position, penetration size, tyre condition and any damage from driving while flat determine whether repair is safe.
Can you repair a tyre sidewall?
Fuel Drain Scotland does not advertise sidewall repairs. Sidewall damage normally requires replacement because that part of the tyre flexes and is structurally critical.
Can a slow puncture be repaired at home?
Yes, when the tyre is suitable for repair and there is safe working space around the vehicle. Give the tyre size and registration when booking.
