FAQs | Tyre Repair | Tyre Service

Tyres affect grip, braking and overall driving safety, which is why many drivers have questions about checks, repairs and replacement.
Here you’ll find straightforward answers to common questions about tyre service and when it’s best to have your tyres inspected by a professional workshop.

What tyre services are available?

Professional tyre services help keep your vehicle safe, legal and comfortable to drive. Depending on tyre condition and usage, workshops offer a range of services to maintain performance and road safety.

Typical tyre service options include:

  • Tyre repair: repairing punctures or minor damage where safe and permitted
  • Tyre fitting: fitting new tyres when replacement is required
  • Tyre change: replacing tyres due to wear, below the legal limit or time of year requirements
  • Tyre replacement: installing new tyres when repair is no longer possible
  • Tyre pressure check: checking and adjusting pressure for safety and tyre longevity

If you’re looking for a professional tyre service locally, a Bosch Car Service workshop can inspect your tyres and advise individually on the most suitable solution for your vehicle and driving conditions.

How do I know if I need new tyres?

Tyres don’t always fail suddenly — wear and damage often build up over time. Certain signs can indicate that a tyre replacement or at least a professional tyre check may be necessary.

Common indicators include:

  • Low tread depth: if the tread is close to or below the legal limit of 1.6 mm, grip and braking performance are reduced and a tyre replacement may be required
  • Regular pressure loss: needing frequent inflation can point to a slow puncture or valve issue and may require tyre repair or replacement
  • Noise or vibration: unusual sounds or vibrations while driving can be linked to tyre damage, imbalance or wear and may require tyre fitting or further checks
  • Visible damage: cracks, bulges or objects embedded in the tyre can make it unsafe and often mean tyre replacement is the safest option
  • Tyre age: even with sufficient tread, tyres can degrade over time; many manufacturers recommend replacing tyres around five years of age as this is when tyre manufacturers warranty ceases.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to have your tyres inspected professionally.

A Bosch Car Service workshop near you offers expert tyre service, including tyre repair, tyre fitting and tyre replacements, to help keep your vehicle safe, legal and ready for the road.

What affects tyre wear and how can it be reduced?

Tyre wear is influenced by several factors and often develops gradually. Understanding the causes can help extend tyre life and maintain safety.

Key factors that can increase tyre wear include:

  • Wheel alignment: incorrect alignment can cause uneven wear and reduce tyre lifespan
  • Tracking issues: poor tracking often leads to faster and irregular tyre wear
  • Driving habits: frequent heavy braking, fast cornering or aggressive acceleration put extra strain on tyres
  • Tyre pressure: incorrect inflation levels increase wear and can affect fuel efficiency, making regular tyre pressure checks essential
  • Road conditions: potholes, rough surfaces and debris can damage tyres and lead to early tyre replacement

To help avoid premature wear, regular inspections are recommended. Professional tyre service, including tyre fitting, tyre repair and timely tyre replacement, ensures tyres are correctly maintained.

A Bosch Car Service workshop near you can check your tyres and advise individually on the best steps to protect them and keep your vehicle safe on the road.

How much do different tyre services cost?

The cost of tyre services can vary depending on the type of service required and your vehicle’s specific setup. There’s no fixed price, as several factors influence the final cost in each case.

What affects the cost of each tyre service:

  • Tyre repair: depends on the location and size of the damage, tyre condition and whether a safe repair is possible
  • Tyre fitting: influenced by tyre size, vehicle type and whether standard or specialised car tyre fitting is required
  • Tyre change: affected by change in weather conditions, wheel setup and labour involved
  • Tyre replacement: depends on tyre specification, size, brand choice and overall tyre condition
  • Tyre pressure check: usually part of a broader tyre service, depending on inspection scope and vehicle requirements

Because every vehicle and tyre setup is different, an individual assessment is always recommended.

At Bosch Car Service, technicians will inspect your tyres, explain the available tyre services and advise you personally on the most suitable solution — tailored to your car and driving needs.

How long do different tyre services take?

The time needed for tyre services depends on the type of work, the vehicle and the condition of the tyres. The following timeframes are typical averages and can vary:

  • Tyre repair: often completed within 30–45 minutes, depending on damage location and repair method
  • Tyre fitting: usually takes around 15–45 minutes for standard car tyre fitting
  • Tyre change: typically 30–60 minutes, depending on wheel setup and condition
  • Tyre replacement: around 30–60 minutes, influenced by tyre size, axle and fitting complexity
  • Tyre pressure check: normally done in just a few minutes as part of a tyre service

Because every vehicle is different, actual service times may vary.

At a Bosch Car Service workshop near you, technicians can assess your vehicle, explain the required tyre service and give you a realistic timeframe — tailored to your car and the work needed.
