Hello

Got a nail in one tyre of my Honda CRV.. Any good repair shop for this ? Or should I go to Honda ?

We live Jomtien side

Thank you in advance

Have a good week end

Assuming you are driving on your spare, I would drive to B-Quik on Sukumvit (by Big C). They are open late, seven days a week. Not sure if Honda dealer does tire repairs.

But be sure they understand exactly what you want / the specific scope of the job.

 

Why, several years back, same B Quick location, we wanted one damaged tyre replaced and that wheel and tyre put in the spare cavity. All explained clearly by my Thai adult son. Son asked the supervisor to explain back what we wanted, done, all clear. 

 

We came back an hour later to find 5 new tyres fitted. Then the smartass demanding cashier girl got into the conversation and insisted that they couldn't take the new tyres off the car because they were now second hand and she can't adjust invoices.

 

Son called his buddy, a senior guy from Big C in Chonburi (not sure there's even a connection with B Quick), he was nearby and came quickly and made it very clear to remove the new tyres, and said he would wait and he asked his secretary to find the number of a senior B Quick person, he called, then gave his phone to the B Quick shop staff who were shocked when their boss told them clearly to remove 4 new tyres etc. and damaged tyre replace with 1 new tyre and in spare tyre cavity.

 

Cashier girl now much more cooperative and quickly changed the invoice and her attitude. 

 

On the other hand, we have used B quick several times here in Chiang Mai, excellent service 5 stars.

Yes, drive (north) by the Big C front door (Sukumvit) and it's on your right.

Pretty much any of the dozens of tire shops between Jomtien and B-Quick will take the wheel off, pop it off the rim, pull the nail, plug and pressure test and refit for less than 200 baht.

Thank you.. In fact yes, I never paid attention to it but saw it on my way to B Quick this morning..

Arrived there at around 8.40.. Already number 2 .. but after 5 or 6 cars inside on the car lifts.. Was out after 30 minutes, they repaired the tire, put in back in place and the spare tire at his place in the back of the car, check all other tires and air refiled and balanced.. I wanted to go and pay and was told it was free.. Went to check anyway with the cashier and confirmed it was free.. Big surprise.. I gave a good tip for the guys and left..

Yes, fixing flats for free is B Quick's loss-leader and seems to ensure that they will get either return customers with flats or the much more desirable and lucrative new tire shopper. When I lived in Pattaya, I gave the guy next to Boonthavorn, almost opposite the Highway 7 entrance ramp my flat-fixing business. Handy to know where some of the alternatives are for if/when the slow puncture you have been living with suddenly won't make the u-turn back to B Quick... and vice versa! Just look for the piles of slightly used tires on OEM rims as you head down the road... they're all pretty good at what they do.

B-Quik has a website and brochures in their stores with their promotions. When it's time for considering tire replacements I start checking for my favorite brand and sizes.
