How much does a puncture repair cost?

Ash_Pole

I don't think I've ever had a puncture before, at least, I can't remember one. How much is a repair generally? I'll probably take it to National tomorrow as it's on my way to work, I want to make sure I'm not going to get ripped off.

There's a nail in the middle of the wheel, so hopefully should just be a straightforward repair.

I think I paid about £20 last time I had a similar type of puncture repaired, although that was at an independent where they just did it for cash, at a chain they may have a fixed price.

£5 maybe £50 depends where you go.

You can check the National website yourself for the phone number to check the cost.

Over the years I've had three punctures repaired by Kwik-Fit, and have never been charged at all.

That sounds good, and a bit surprising given some of the things I've heard about KF.

did you get other work done at the same time or did you go in just for the puncture repair

Just for the puncture.

The first time it happened it was a company car, so I assumed that they just didn't want to be hassled with the paperwork. However, the other times were my own cars, and at different branches so they didn't know me as a regular customer.

£5-£10 at my local garage for a straight forward repair, unfortunately my last one couldn't be repaired and I had to get a replacement so don't be surprised if yours can't be fixed.
