Scratch, dent and alloy wheel cover
Clipped Assist memberships.
Kerbed an alloy? Found a trolley dent? One membership covers the small stuff, repaired by a mobile technician who comes to you.
What it is
Tyre Lab has partnered with Clipped Assist, a membership repair service that comes to you to fix minor vehicle damage*: kerbed alloys, scratches, bumper scuffs and small dents. It is the kind of damage that isn't usually worth a claim on your car insurance.
You pay once for a term of one to five years. On a Gold or Platinum plan you can request as many repairs as you need for that whole term, and each eligible repair costs $50 or nothing, depending on the plan. There's no waiting period once your membership starts.
You join through us at Tyre Lab in Pukekohe. The repairs are carried out by Clipped Assist's own trade-qualified technicians.

Good to know
A membership is not insurance. It covers minor cosmetic repairs, within the limits below.
Damage after you join
Anything already on the car when you join isn't covered, so it pays to sign up while the car is clean.
Your car has to qualify
Gold suits new and near-new cars, and Platinum cars up to 10 years old. Cars used as tools of trade aren't eligible. Ask us and we'll check yours.
Somewhere to do the repair
Repairs are done on private property, like your driveway, garage or carport, with power within 20 metres and room to open the doors. Not on the street, in basements or in underground car parks.
Size limits apply
Each kind of repair has a limit, listed above. Bigger damage isn't free, but members get up to 50% off the repair rate.
See everything a membership doesn't cover
- Damage already on the vehicle before you join
- Damage beyond the size limits
