Flat Tyre in Parking
Finding a flat tyre in parking area can be frustrating, especially when you are ready to leave for work, home or an appointment. Instead of trying to drive the vehicle to a garage, keep it parked safely and arrange professional assistance.
Fixatyre provides mobile tyre services across Dubai, including repair, replacement, tyre change and mobile fitting.
5 Steps to Follow
1. Check the Wheel
Start with a quick visual inspection if it is safe to do so.
Look for:
- A nail or screw
- Visible cuts
- Sidewall damage
- A bulge
- Low air pressure
- Signs of a leak
If an object is stuck in the tread, avoid removing it yourself. Removing it may cause the remaining air to escape.
2. Don’t Drive on It
Do not drive a completely deflated wheel to the nearest workshop.
Driving without proper air pressure can damage the sidewall and rim. It can also affect handling and braking.
The Dubai RTA recommends checking tyre pressure and tread condition regularly and keeping the spare wheel and changing tools in good condition.
If your vehicle is already parked safely, there is little reason to take the risk.
3. Check Your Spare
If your vehicle has a spare wheel, check whether it is available and suitable for use.
You may also need:
- Jack
- Wheel wrench
- Locking wheel-nut key
- Vehicle-specific tools
If you are not comfortable changing the wheel yourself, a mobile technician can handle the job at your location.
4. Get Professional Help
A puncture does not always mean you need a new tyre.
A technician can inspect the damage and determine whether the correct solution is:
- Puncture repair
- Flat tyre repair
- Tyre replacement
- Tyre change
- Mobile tyre fitting
Fixatyre provides mobile tyre assistance at suitable locations across Dubai, including homes, offices, parking areas and roadside locations.
5. Share Your Location
When contacting Fixatyre, provide your exact parking location or send a map pin.
Also provide:
Vehicle: Make and model.
Problem: Flat, punctured, leaking or damaged wheel.
Tyre size: Send a photo of the sidewall if possible.
This information helps the technician understand what equipment or replacement tyre may be required.
Can the Damage Be Repaired?
Some punctures can be repaired when they are located in a suitable tread area and the rest of the tyre is in good condition.
However, serious sidewall damage, deep cuts, excessive wear or structural damage may require replacement.
A professional inspection should always come before deciding between repair and replacement.
You can learn more about suitable repairs through Fixatyre’s tyre repair service.
Mobile Service or Garage?
A traditional tyre shop can be suitable when the vehicle is safe to drive.
Mobile service is more convenient when:
- The vehicle cannot safely move
- The wheel has completely lost air
- You have a puncture
- The car is at home
- The car is in an office parking area
- You need help at your current location
Fixatyre’s mobile tyre repair service is designed to bring tyre assistance directly to the vehicle.

How to Prevent Another Flat
Regular checks can help identify problems before they become an emergency.
Check your tyre pressure and inspect the tread and sidewalls for:
- Cracks
- Cuts
- Bulges
- Uneven wear
- Slow air loss
- Visible damage
If one wheel repeatedly loses pressure, have it inspected rather than repeatedly adding air.
RTA guidance also recommends regular vehicle checks, including tyre pressure, tread depth and spare-wheel equipment.
