Andrew Dwyer Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Today had the car booked in for a service but on setting off discovered I had a flat tire, with a nail right in the middle of the tread .Put the doughnut on and set off for Honda hoping to get it fixed thrown in with the service ? Silly me !!They wouldn't touch it. Went to the local B-Quick and they sorted it quickly and professionally !!Asked how much - no charge !!Well there's a first ! Congratulations B - Quick Navanakorn ! Anybody ever been pleasantly surprised in this nature ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halfaboy Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Went to Maxxis (Sukhumvith Road Pattaya - close to the Bangkok Hospital Pattaya) for replacement of the two front tyres. After having arrived there they discovered a nail sticking out of one of my back tyres. Even before mentioning this to me they started repairing the leak at no costs ! Extremely good service !

keeniau96 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Went with a friend to Maxxis when he got new tires here in Phuket. Saw them in action of friend's tires, talked to owner, checked the tires re my future needs, will definitely go there next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pungdo Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I have had punctures repaired twice for nothing at B-Quick in Pattaya, but I had my young daughter with me both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FinickyOne Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I bought my tires there and have found the same service - - fast and reliable and no charge... and I have had many punctures in the last year... I will be sure to buy my next set of tires there too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dwyer Posted April 6, 2017 Author Share Posted April 6, 2017 Thats weird i always have to pay money when one a mine tyres need to be repaired at the shop.what am i doing wrong here?I must admit I was surprised !When the young kid was waffling on to my gf I thought he was trying to sell me a new tyre, I was expecting the worst, so it was a very pleasant surprise when he said no charge .

irwinfc Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 i can attest to the OP's story. once i even tried to tip the dude who fixed my tire - he refused! as long as parts are available (or you chance upon the better employees), B-quik will indeed fix those punctures for free.

NanLaew Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) For B-quick, Maxxis and the other brand-name tire shops, pulling nails and plugging leaks for free on a 'walk-in' tire is a loss leader even if you haven't bought your tires there before. As seen in this thread, their fast and free service will stick in the punters mind and if only half of those customers return to buy new tires when needed, they have banked.

mrwebb8825 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Took my bike to the local shop because it was making a new funny sound. The guy stopped what he was doing, took it for a cruise down the road, rolled back in, made some adjustments to the carb, oiled the chain, smiled and said "Mai Pen Rai" when I asked how much. It isn't just the bigger businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably depends on the type of repair. B Quick and others push some sort of plug into the hole which seals it but apparently may not be permanent. This way they do not even have to take the tyre off if the puncture is obvious. I had a tyre with several of these "plugs" from punctures and ended up having to replace it. Apparently (so I was told....) best way is to have them patched on the inside with a heat seal of some sort which I think is normally about 2-250 baht - there is also a cheaper patch.
