Repairs
Within the tyre industry the use of labels such as “NWR” (Not Worth Repair) has become far too liberal. It’s our belief that there’s only one person able to make that decision about a tyre, and that’s the owner.
A tyre may have 10% (or less) tread remaining on it and still be viable for repair, provided there’s a use for that tyre such as a tread match-up. Damaged tyres only really have two applicable labels “Repairable” and “Unrepairable”.
Determining the repairability of a tyre
It’s practically impossible to determine the reparability of a tyre out in the field. It’s not until the tyre has been cut open and properly examined to determine the extent of the damage that a true assessment can be made – except in cases where the issue is immediately obvious such as a casing separation or a major blow out.
In the field, our representatives will give an opinion on whether they believe the tyre is repairable or not and can also give a price for the repair. If the customer wishes to proceed, we would take the tyre to our facility for a proper diagnosis.
- If the tyre is repairable, it’s fixed at the quoted cost – regardless of the size of the repair.
- If after a proper assessment, the tyre cannot be repaired then it’s either returned to the customer at his cost or scrapped at an EPA approved waste facility for a reasonable scrapping charge.
