Wheel puncture repair in Kenya
Assess and repair eligible punctures through a competent tyre service.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional sample order: One vehicle puncture assessment and, only if repairable, professional repair at an equipped tyre workshop. Tyre removal and internal inspection are part of the professional decision. Exclude sidewall/unsafe damage, plug-only universal repairs and a promise that every nail puncture is repairable.
Who is the first customer?
Motorists needing an inspected tyre rather than a roadside guess.
