FAQ

Wheel Repair - What do I need to do?

Tyres need to be removed from the wheel before delivery to PROMAC for repair. Drop into your local tyre store or mechanic for removal first and then bring the wheel in!

 

It's worth asking if the tyre store/mechanic deal with PROMAC directly, as they can organise delivery and pick-up of the wheel for you.

 

Unfortunately tyres cannot be removed from wheels in the PROMAC shop, to save any inconvenience please remove tyres first.
