AutoPump has launched a compact tyre repair kit for UK drivers - positioned as a temporary solution for emergency punctures. The kit complies with British Standard BS AU 159, sealing punctures up to 6mm while providing enough mobility to reach nearby repair shops.
-- More than three million car punctures occur annually on UK roads - creating a persistent challenge for drivers who face limited roadside solutions. In response, AutoPump has launched a compact tyre repair kit designed specifically to address a vulnerability that regularly leaves motorists stranded and dependent on costly breakdown services.

Sharp objects such as nails, glass, and screws are the primary culprits behind punctures, says AutoPump - yet modern vehicles increasingly lack the tools to safely handle these incidents. Recent research from the RAC found that only 3% of new cars are sold with a spare wheel, with manufacturers instead providing temporary sealant kits that offer comparatively inflexible, one-time solutions.
UK law governing tyre puncture repair adheres to British Standard BS AU 159, limiting repairs only to punctures located in the central 60% of the tread area with a maximum diameter of 6mm. AutoPump's kit has been designed with full compliance to these regulatory requirements, ensuring that drivers can trust that their own roadside repairs are both legitimate and safe.
The compact design distinguishes AutoPump's offering from bulkier alternatives, practical enough to store in vehicle boots without sacrificing valuable space. As such, UK drivers can carry the kit as a permanent fixture - ready to deploy when punctures occur on busy motorways or remote country roads where assistance would otherwise be delayed.
AutoPump stresses that the device is meant as a temporary measure, providing sufficient mobility for drivers to reach a professional repair shop. Still, such capabilities alone can turn potential roadside emergencies into a far more manageable inconvenience - with AutoPump appealing to drivers throughout the country.
By carrying a portable solution, then, drivers can reduce their reliance on breakdown services and gain the requisite independence to resolve these emergencies without waiting for external assistance. On congested roads in particular, AutoPump describes such outcomes as notably safer, faster, and more considerate to surrounding vehicles.
AutoPump's launch aligns with the automotive industry's ongoing transition away from spare wheels toward efficient, portable repair solutions that reflect modern driver needs. As manufacturers continue to prioritise boot space and vehicle weight reduction, compact repair kits allow UK motorists to equip themselves for self-sufficient roadside resilience.
