Ahbengdriver 6th Gear December 7, 2014 Share December 7, 2014 Just had a small puncture, must be a small hole somewhere in rear tyre but as night is falling, cant see the actual damage but should be due to some nail. Need to crawl to nearest shop for repair first thing tomorrow. Instead of the sometimes unreliable "insert a plug" type of repair at most petrol kiosk, can anyone recommend any tyre shop in Ang Mo Kio vicinity that can remove the tyre and patch up the hole from inside? Presumably I can find one around Sin Ming area. Many many thx in advance. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL173 1st Gear December 7, 2014 Share December 7, 2014 Ever did the internal patch of my last set of tyre on Sep 2013, where it help to sealed the puncture hole caused by a big screw with tread. Before that, I have done twice to patch the hole with normal rubber insert but failed. Normal rubber insert probably good to repair small puncture caused by small nail and is much cheaper at $6. Not a lot of shop doing internal patch. The one that I visited is in the east area as follow & cost $16 per patch with labor.

Ahbengdriver 6th Gear December 7, 2014 Author Share December 7, 2014 Thx guys but I cannot make it to the East side. Had to be hearby in Sing Ming Bishan or Ang Mo Kio area, as otherwise the rear tyre which is a 19inch will be damaged by the time I reach the shop. Anyone knows of any?

Spinelli_ck 6th Gear December 8, 2014 Share December 8, 2014 thx all. sorted it out at Sin Heak Hin at Sin Min Autopoint. Good service. bro, how much did it cost? was the mechanic careful when he removed the tyre from the rim? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahbengdriver 6th Gear December 9, 2014 Author Share December 9, 2014 (edited) bro, how much did it cost? was the mechanic careful when he removed the tyre from the rim? $25. more work than I thought including some grinding to smoothen inner surface before patching, and application of some sealant post patching up. Handling of tyre/rim is ok to me. anyway rim is about 6 yeras old so heck it anyway. Edited December 9, 2014 by Ahbengdriver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberttan 5th Gear December 9, 2014 Share December 9, 2014 bro, how much did it cost? was the mechanic careful when he removed the tyre from the rim? can you elaborate CAREFUL ? I suppose a Good mechanic and Quality workshop will always do a better job on this particular issue with proper prevention measure. But if does happen that the Mech had done what they can still scratch your wheel ? And what do you expect from them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose a Good mechanic and Quality workshop will always do a better job on this particular issue with proper prevention measure. But if does happen that the Mech had done what they can still scratch your wheel ? And what do you expect from them? careful as in the mechanic exercises great care in not getting the rim scratched when he removes the tyre for repair. i am aware this is not 100% possible as he needs to make use of a machine to remove the tyre from the rim. at least if he tries, i can still accept the minor scratches. the way some mechanics work, you know they can't be bothered. $25. more work than I thought including some grinding to smoothen inner surface before patching, and application of some sealant post patching up. Handling of tyre/rim is ok to me. anyway rim is about 6 yeras old so heck it anyway. thanks, bro! same price as South East but this workshop is definitely nearer for me.

Optramagnum 6th Gear December 9, 2014 Share December 9, 2014 Simpang Bedok, first tyre shop on the right upon entrance.. Their patching can easily last until botak. Unless the hole is too big like mine last year, went over a brick along expressway. Can patch, but still burst after nearly a year. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
