Puncture Inspection
Inspection of nail holes, screw punctures and other tread-area damage to determine whether a safe repair may be possible.
A puncture does not always require a trip to a tire shop. Our mobile tire service allows you to have the problem inspected at your home, workplace or another suitable location.
We assess the location and condition of the damage before recommending a repair or tire replacement. You receive a clear explanation before any work is completed.
We identify the puncture and check the tire for visible and internal damage.
We tell you whether the tire may be safely repaired or should be replaced.
No tire is repaired, removed or replaced without discussing the recommendation with you first.
We diagnose the source of the problem and recommend the appropriate next step based on the tire's condition.
Inspection of nail holes, screw punctures and other tread-area damage to determine whether a safe repair may be possible.
We check for common sources of pressure loss, including punctures, valve problems and sealing issues around the rim.
When the damage is within a repairable area and the tire remains in suitable condition, we perform the appropriate repair.
When repair is not considered safe, we explain why and help you determine the appropriate replacement option.
The location, size and angle of the puncture matter. The overall condition of the tire must also be considered before a repair is recommended.
Our role is not simply to patch a hole or replace a tire. We first determine what happened, assess the tire and explain the safest available option.
We identify the puncture or source of pressure loss and inspect the surrounding area.
We consider the damage location, puncture size, tread condition and signs that the tire may have been driven flat.
We explain whether repair is appropriate or whether replacement is the safer option.
Work proceeds only after you understand the recommendation and approve the service.
Mobile tire service is useful for anyone who cannot afford to lose hours waiting at a tire shop.
Keep your appointments, property showings and client meetings on schedule while we inspect the tire at your location.
Reduce downtime when your work depends on travelling between customer locations with equipment in your vehicle.
Electricians, plumbers, contractors and service technicians can avoid losing valuable working hours at a tire shop.
Continue working while we come to your driveway. There is no need to arrange transportation or sit in a waiting room.
Mobile service provides a more convenient option without requiring an unnecessary drive or extended wait at a repair shop.
Mobile employees, roadside crews and field workers can receive help where the vehicle is located whenever service conditions permit.

Book Mobile Tire Repair →No. Whether a tire can be repaired depends on the location and size of the puncture, the condition of the tire and whether the tire was driven while flat or severely underinflated. Damage in the sidewall or shoulder area generally requires tire replacement.
A repair may be possible when the puncture is located within the main tread area and does not extend into the shoulder or sidewall. The tire must still be inspected before a final recommendation is made.
No. Sidewall punctures, cuts, bulges and other sidewall damage cannot normally be repaired safely. The sidewall flexes while the vehicle is moving, so damage in this area usually means the tire must be replaced.
Standard industry guidance generally limits puncture repairs to damage no larger than approximately 6 mm, or one-quarter inch, in diameter. The puncture must also be located in a repairable part of the tread.
Possibly. A nail or screw puncture may be repairable when it is located in the main tread area and the tire has not sustained additional damage. Do not remove the object before inspection because it may be slowing the air loss.
Driving on a leaking or underinflated tire can cause additional heat and structural damage. If the tire is losing pressure, arrange an inspection as soon as possible and avoid driving when the tire is visibly low or flat.
It depends on the condition of the tire. Driving while flat can damage the sidewall and internal structure even when the outside does not look severely damaged. The tire must be inspected before repair can be considered.
Yes. We inspect the puncture location, the size of the damage, the tread condition and visible signs of sidewall or structural damage. We explain the recommendation before completing a repair or replacing the tire.
Yes. If the tire cannot be repaired safely, we will explain why replacement is recommended. Common reasons include sidewall damage, shoulder damage, a puncture that is too large, excessive tread wear, a bulge or damage caused by driving flat.
Slow leaks can be caused by nails or screws, valve-stem problems, rim sealing issues, corrosion, bead leaks or damage to the tire. An inspection is required to identify the source of the pressure loss.
Mobile tire repair may be available at homes, workplaces, driveways, parking areas and other safe service locations in Edmonton and surrounding communities. The vehicle must be in a location where the technician can work safely.
In many cases, no. LAB Tire Services brings mobile tire equipment to your location. If the tire requires a service that cannot be completed safely on-site, we will explain the next recommended step.
Use our online booking page and provide your location, vehicle information and a brief description of the tire problem. Include whether the tire is completely flat, losing air slowly or has a visible nail or screw.
