A tyre puncture repair in the UAE usually costs between AED 30 and AED 120, depending on whether it's a quick plug at a garage or a mobile call-out. With QARO, a mobile tyre puncture repair starts at AED 100 (VAT inclusive) — a technician comes to you, repairs the puncture or fits your spare, and you avoid a tow to the garage.
What affects the price
- Plug vs. patch: A simple external plug is quick and cheap; a proper internal patch-plug (the safer, longer-lasting fix) takes the tyre off the rim and costs a little more.
- Where the damage is: Only punctures in the central tread area are repairable. Sidewall or shoulder damage is not — that needs a replacement.
- Call-out vs. workshop: A mobile service saves you driving on a damaged tyre or paying for a tow.
Can every puncture be repaired?
No. Tyre safety standards only allow repairs to the central tread, for holes up to around 6mm. A puncture in the sidewall, a tear, a previous bad repair, or a tyre that was driven flat (so the sidewall overheated) all mean the tyre must be replaced, not repaired. A good technician will tell you honestly which one you're facing.
What to do when you get a puncture
- If you can hear a slow hiss, don't keep driving far — running a tyre flat ruins it and risks a blowout in UAE heat.
- Pull over somewhere safe, switch on hazards, and stay away from live traffic.
- Book a mobile repair rather than changing it yourself on a busy motorway shoulder.
