Tyre patch can get in singapore at 3-5 bucks also.

 

Rotation cum balancing can get in 15 bucks here.

Not much cost savings.

 

Finding a worthy workshop in JB is like finding a needle in a haystack..

May I know the driving directions to this workshop ?

Have not driven to JB for almost 5 years, becos been driving cargo van for 4yrs.

Can this workshop do high-speed [on-wheel] balancing ?

 

Thanks.

[Help1]

now a day tyre patching is jz like dentistry--pull out the nail/sharp object,then insert a "goony-sok"like round sticky string to tat same lobang which caused airleaked.then pay $7/=fast fast chabut.......

[Fcw75]

That's the quick way. The actual way should be remove the tyre from the rim and patch from inside.

[Garlic]

I recently had the misfortune of a puncture.

 

$12 for internal "ko yok" patching and wheel balancing(one wheel only).

[Espire]

1 thing to clarify before we debate further, yours is external or internal patch..

[Mcf777]

Just patched my tyre using the method you've mentioned about a month ago. Paid $8 at Stamford Tyre.

They said internal patching also same price, but could not be done for my case because the hole was at the corner, near side wall.

Hawk Tayar Servicing is quite cheap.

I just got the tyres balanced at the one at Taman Sentosa. It's rm6 per tyre and includes rotation.

I also got the brake fluid replaced for rm35, I supply the fluid.

[Opel17]

Thanks for the direction.

Years ago, I went to Hawk Tayar branch at the Extra Hypermart [southern City] for the high-speed balancing. The Extra is no longer there, but maybe Hawk Tayar is still there. I like their service. No tyres vibration even at 120 kmh. Our local tyres shops dun do high-speed balancing, and sometime recommend to change tyres or upgrade rims.

Plan to visit Hawk Tayar, and also to check out their new tyres offering.
