How far will an Auckland business actually travel?
Most work a patch rather than the region. Plenty of North Shore businesses will not cross the bridge for a two-hour job, and nobody in Pukekohe is driving to Warkworth for one. NovaPay asks businesses near you first, and any travel or call-out fee is stated in the quote rather than found on the invoice.
Can I get someone the same week in Auckland?
Usually, for the smaller jobs. How urgent it is goes out with the request, so a business with nothing free that week can say so instead of leaving you waiting on a callback.
What is the fitted price?
The number that matters. Fitting, balancing, new valves and disposal of the old tyres are usually charged on top of the tyre itself, so ask for the total on the road rather than the price per tyre.
Do I need to replace all four?
Not always, but tyres should be replaced in pairs across an axle, and all-wheel drive vehicles often need all four to avoid drivetrain wear. Say what you drive and you will get a straight answer.
Can a puncture be repaired?
Often, if it is in the tread and not the sidewall. A repair is a fraction of a new tyre, so it is worth asking rather than assuming a replacement.
How do I know what size I need?
It is on the sidewall of your current tyres, in a format like 205/55R16. Put that or your registration in the request and the quotes come back for the right tyre.
