Product Information

Full details

The CarPlan Flat Mate is designed for car owners who need a quick, temporary solution for flat tires, especially in inconvenient situations like bad weather or darkness. Its key benefit is its ability to re-inflate and seal most tire punctures without requiring tools or wheel removal, offering a fast get-you-home repair. A key caveat is that it provides a temporary fix only and the tire must be professionally repaired or replaced soon after use.

FAQs

Is CarPlan Flat Mate a permanent repair?

No, CarPlan Flat Mate is a temporary repair designed to get you home. The tire must be professionally repaired or replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician.

What size punctures can Flat Mate seal?

Flat Mate is suitable for punctures up to 5mm in diameter. It is not designed for large holes, sidewall damage, or displaced tires.

How long should I drive after using Flat Mate?

You should immediately drive the car for approximately 6-8 miles (10-14km) at a reduced speed (max 30mph/45kph) to allow the sealant to spread evenly and seal the puncture.

Can I use Flat Mate on my motorcycle tire?

Flat Mate is suitable for use in some motorcycles, but it's recommended to check your motorcycle tire's specific compatibility and ensure the puncture is within the product's limitations.

What should I do after using Flat Mate?

After driving the initial distance, check and adjust the tire pressure as required. Then, take the vehicle to a tire repair shop as soon as possible for a permanent inspection and repair or replacement.

Do I need any tools to use Flat Mate?

No, no tools or dismantling of the wheel are required to use CarPlan Flat Mate.

What does the 4x 300mL packaging mean?

This packaging contains four individual cans of CarPlan Flat Mate, each with a 300mL capacity, providing multiple emergency uses or spares.

Troubleshooting

Tire does not inflate

Ensure the can is shaken vigorously and the tube is securely attached to the valve. Check if the can is empty.

Sealant does not appear to be working (leak continues)

The puncture may be too large or in an unsuitable area (e.g., sidewall). This product is for temporary use only and may not seal all types of damage.

Product does not dispense

Check that the can is properly upright when dispensing and that the button is fully depressed. Ensure the can is not empty or frozen.
