Sway, want to go RWS and find out my front tyre completely FLAT, kena a screw!

Luckily my place has tyre air pump, topup the air pressure went to Autobacs Bukit Bukit, tyre under their warranty. When I changed my tyre there, promissed that after sale services such up topup air pressure, tyre puncture, rotataion are free and prioity, and today happen to be a PH, packed with customers, becomes first come first serve, asked me to wait 3 hours just for a job that take 5secs to remove a screw and 1 min to topup gas.

Damn s&^%Jt!!, drove back home.

Want to check with some bros here, where can I find a workshop that can amend tyre today? Prefer West zone. thanks.

Whay always kena this kind of problem during PH or Sunday, either battery flat or tyre puncture, why so "heng"??? Damn it!

mosstly close. use spare

 

my spare is original 17, current 19. no balance.

think mostly have to go back autobacs, never want to go there earlier, plan to reach at 7:25 (last svs take in 7:30PM), usually they will speed up repair / svs works before they close shop at 8PM.

 

I like to make appt/site visit with my client at 4PM too. Especially those govnt section officer in charge will keep checking out the clock on the wall or his/her watch, speed up the appt, cut short the conversation/disccuion and sign the agreement/approve the proposal before their knock off time 5PM.

The most productivity working hours for Singaporean is after 4PM and before 5/6PM.

DIY.....I mend my own tyre and even friends... [flowerface]

 

 

I have the rubber but not that T-shape tool (tubeless tyre puncture plug ) that can push in the rubber.

I want to go out tonight, no car = no leg.

The shop locates at a lorry car park, somewhere near Lam Sam Flyover and Brickland road.

The man did it within a min. I told him where was the nail and he took his tools, pull it out and push in the rubber in less than 10 sec, pull the air pressure pipe, topup the pressure and done, All in one min cost $5.

I recalled it was a rear wheel puncture, my ride is a RWD, I remembered asking the question why he need not remove the wheel??? He just said, "no need so troublesome one lah". that's it.

The original 17" spare tyre is inside the car since the first day I purchased and never use before. I just feel lazy to go to the workshop to change it, even when sent my car for service or happened tp ended up at a workshop, I just cannot remember I have a 17" spare tyre that need to change??? How to remember all this mini minor things in my mind all times. I am not a "ENG LANG" ok?

Go Giant or at autobac you can buy the tyre quick fix foam type?

 

Follow instructions and pump the stuff into your tyre 1st to fix the leak?

It doesn't matter anyway. The tire outside diameter should be the same. Just don't drive so fast for today lo.

 

Anyway I saw a tire shop open at balestier area. Opposite quality hotel.
