Modern car repair Workshop

Not every puncture means you need to replace your tyre. At Croydon Tyre Centre, our team will assess your flat tyre to determine whether a safe repair is possible. Several factors influence this decision, including the tyre’s size, speed rating, load rating, construction, and the position and severity of the damage. All work is carried out in line with British Standard BS AU 159, ensuring repairs meet strict safety guidelines. Tyres with damage to the sidewall or shoulder cannot be safely repaired and must be replaced. However, small punctures or cuts in the central tread area can often be fixed, provided there is no internal damage to the tyre’s structure. Repairs typically involve fitting an internal plug. The allowable size of a repair depends on the tyre and vehicle specifications generally, the higher the speed and load rating, the smaller the repairable damage must be.

Your vehicle’s battery powers everything from the engine to lights, heated mirrors, sat nav, and fans. Even with proper care, batteries typically last 5–6 years, and factors like driving conditions, style, and climate can affect performance. Battery failure is the leading cause of breakdowns in the UK, so regular checks are essential. At Croydon Tyre Centre, our technicians will clean terminals, test the battery’s charge and capacity, and inspect the charging system. If a replacement is needed, we can supply and fit a new battery on the spot. For advice or a battery check, visit us or call +44 7498 595567.
