Puncture repair

We repair a hole in the tread when the tire is still sound. A sidewall cut, a shoulder split, or a tire that was driven flat until the rim chewed the liner is not a repair.

What we look at first

The technician finds the hole, checks the inner liner when the tire can come off safely, and says repair or replace before any repair charge. A plug or an internal patch is the repair. If we decline it and you do not take a stocked tire, the visit is the rolled-call figure, ₪177 including ₪27 VAT.

Day repair is ₪354, including ₪54 VAT. Night, Sunday–Thursday 19:00–22:00, is ₪413. On Highway 2, 4, 5, or 20, add ₪118. The compressor on the van sets pressure after the repair. We do not repair a tire the maker marks as unrepairable, and we do not hide a sidewall cut with a plug.

If the size is on the van and the tire is finished, a stocked passenger tire starts at ₪472 by day. Read the sidewall to the dispatcher: 195/65R15, 205/55R16, 215/55R17 are the common stock. Other sizes are a yes or a no on the call, not a guess.

Wheel change is the cheaper stop when you have a spare. Roads lists where a shoulder repair is even possible.
