The CarPlan Flat Mate Emergency Puncture Repair is designed for medium to large cars, 4x4s, and vans needing a rapid solution to tyre punctures. Its key benefit is the ability to seal and inflate a tyre in just 90 seconds without the need for wheel removal or tools, helping you get back on the road quickly. A caveat is its suitability for tyres 17 inches and above, meaning it may not be ideal for smaller vehicles.

The CarPlan Flat Mate provides a temporary, emergency seal and inflation to get you moving. It is essential to have the tyre professionally inspected and repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
No, this product is designed for tyres 17 inches and above, typically found on medium to large cars, 4x4s, and vans. It is not suitable for smaller motorcycle tyres.
Typically, these cans have a shelf life of several years when stored correctly in a cool, dry place. Always check the expiry date on the can.
The product is designed to seal and inflate without causing damage to the tyre. However, like any sealant, it's recommended to have the tyre inspected by a professional to ensure no internal damage has occurred.
Check the sidewall of your tyre. You will see a number followed by 'R' (e.g., R17, R18, R19). This number indicates the wheel diameter in inches.
This product is most effective for punctures on the tyre tread. Sidewall punctures are more complex and may not be reliably sealed by this emergency repair product. Professional assessment is advised.
Drive cautiously to the nearest tyre repair shop or service station. Have the tyre inspected and repaired. Avoid high speeds and long distances until the tyre is properly assessed.
Ensure the can is shaken vigorously before use and the connector is screwed tightly onto the tyre valve. Check if the valve core is missing or damaged.
This may indicate a low ambient temperature. Try to warm the can slightly by placing it in a warmer environment for a short period, but avoid excessive heat.
The puncture may be too large or located on the sidewall, which this product may not be able to seal effectively. Seek professional assistance.
Check for any remaining leaks and ensure the entire can contents were dispensed. The product is an emergency fix and may require topping up with air at a service station.
Setup: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat, safe surface and the handbrake is engaged. Locate the puncture if possible, but it is not essential for use. Shake the can vigorously. Screw the connector firmly onto the tyre valve. Press the trigger to dispense the product. The entire can should be used to inflate the tyre.
Compatibility: This product is suitable for tyres 17 inches and above. It is designed for medium to large cars, 4x4s, and vans. To check your tyre size, look for the number followed by 'R' on the tyre's sidewall (e.g., R17).
Care: Store the cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure the cans are kept out of reach of children. After use, it is recommended to have the tyre professionally inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
