Hey everyone, I’m driving a 1998 Toyota Camry and I’m curious about the typical tyre repair costs here in the UK. If you’ve dealt with punctures, balancing, or alignment issues, what did you pay and where? Any recommendations for garages or tips to avoid overpaying? Thanks!

    For a 1998 Toyota Camry in the UK, typical costs for tyre repairs such as puncture fixes usually range from about £20 to £35 per tyre. Most garages, including places like Formula One Autocentres or Kwik Fit, charge around £22 to £30 for a standard puncture repair, which commonly includes removing the tyre, inspecting it, plugging or patching the hole, and refitting the tyre.

    If you need wheel balancing (important after repairs or fitting new tyres), expect an extra Ā£5 to Ā£10 per wheel. For wheel alignment, aiming to keep tyres wearing evenly and driving straight, prices start at around Ā£35 for front-wheel alignment and about Ā£70 for a full four-wheel alignment. This can vary by location—London and the south east usually cost more.

    To avoid overpaying, shop around by getting quotes from local independent garages as they often have lower labour costs than main dealers. Mobile tyre repair services can come to you but usually cost a bit more. Also, check if the garage follows British safety standards for tyre repairs (BSAU159) so you don’t get unsafe patching.

    Reading customer reviews and asking friends for recommendations can point you to honest and reputable places. Regularly checking your tyres and repairing punctures early helps avoid higher expenses down the road due to uneven wear or damaged wheels.

    Overall, for puncture repair expect around £20-£30, balancing a bit extra per tyre, and alignment around £35-£70 in total depending on the service needed.

    Hope this gives a good idea of what to expect and helps you find a fair deal!
