how much to fix a flat tyre

Fixing a flat in Australia isn’t a wallet apocalypse. A simple plug/patch at a tyre shop is about AUD $25–$50; a mobile call-out can run $80–$150+ depending on distance and timing. If the tyre’s cactus, a new replacement is roughly $120–$250 for typical passenger cars, or $250–$450 for premium/4x4 rubber; a second-hand tyre can be $40–$90 fitted, but quality varies. Wheel alignment (if needed) adds $70–$100, and bent rims or TPMS sensors can nudge the bill north. Sidewall damage? That’s a no-repair zone—replace it and thank the pothole later. In short: budget $25–$50 for a repair, or $120–$450 for a new tyre, with used options cheaper but a bit of a lucky dip.
