Are you looking for a tyre puncture repair service nearby? With two locations, we offer puncture repair services to those in Mackay, Cairns and the surrounding regions. Our qualified technicians can have you back on the road with minimal stress.
In instances where a puncture repair isn’t an option, we can provide you with replacement recommendations from our great range of tyres, including popular brands such as Kumho, Maxxis, Toyo, Pirelli and Bridgestone.
Not all tyre punctures are immediately obvious. If you suspect your tyre has a slow puncture you should have it assessed immediately by a professional, as a slow leak can result in a tyre blowout, which should be avoided at all costs.
Similarly, if you know your tyre has a puncture, don’t ignore the issue. Driving on a damaged tyre decreases vehicle handling capabilities, and can cause damage to other components on your vehicle, including the wheel, brakes and steering system.
If you have a punctured tyre, bring it to Torque Tyres and Trailer Spares . Our qualified technicians can thoroughly assess the damage, identify exactly where the puncture is, and determine if there’s any internal damage, before advising if a repair is safe and possible.

A: Typically yes. Sidewall damage and punctures in the tyre shoulder are not repairable due to how much those parts of the tyre flex during use.
A: Most of the time, yes. However, a safe repair to run flat tyres involves removing the tyre from the wheel to inspect for internal damage to the tyre. Some Run Flat Tyre manufacturers do not advise repairing their tyres at all.
A: Cuts, delaminations, sidewall damage, sidewall bulges and major uneven tyre wear are kinds of damage that cannot be repaired.
A: Any puncture repair will involve removing the tyre to check for internal damage. This is the only way to ensure the repair is properly done and will outlast the rest of the tyre. Most repairs are performed with a plug and internal patch. This stops moisture from entering the tyre carcass.
A: Yes, but the damaged tyre must not be too worn. Ideally, tyres are replaced in pairs as mismatched tyre diameters side-to-side can cause issues with tyre wear, stability control and anti-lock brake systems.
