Borrowed my Mums car and it got a puncture. Told the parents i would fix it tomorrow (they said drop it around and they would do it) but i now realise i have very little money so anyone know the average cost to repair one?

The tyre has a 1cm split in the tyre which looks like it could have been from a sharp piece of metal.

If its more than $30 then i think i better let them handle it :shifty:

has she got a tonys tyre service sticker on the back? if so take it there and they will fix it for free - if it can be fixed that is .... a 1cm split might not be repairable

A cut / split like that will mean new tyre time....

Tonys tyres usually do free puncture repairs.

Mmmmmmmm the point it you has to use you'r mummy's car :lol:Had to borrow it to take it to the snow. My 1.3 Corolla (which is still theirs actually) won't make it up the mountain that easily!

Taking the bike with 3 snowboards and 2 pillions wouldn't work either i dont think.

I took the wheelbarrow into Tonys and they repaired the puncture (no shit).
