Tyre Puncture Scam in Pune
Yesterday evening I was travelling to Pune by my car.On the way to Pune after Khadki signal as I moved ahead a two wheeler indicated me that my tyre pressure is low.So, I took the car to the halt on left side near Sahyadri Hospital.There I saw a Tyre Puncture wala so decided to check the tyre pressure.The person started checking tyres one by one.All three were he checked as Ok and for the 4 th one he said that the air cannot be filled you need to check if there is a puncture.So, put the car on jack and started checking the tyre with a bottle of solution which gave bubbles.He didn’t take out the tyre completely even after my suggestion.He started pouring the liquid on the tyre surface and showed me that there are bubbles coming.So, he called his another person to give the puncture stick to insert the puncture.He showed me two sticks one for 100/- black colour and other brown colour for 120/- .I thought if it is one puncture then brown will be better as it has good sticking properties.But here the scene was different.he started checking further for tyre and bubbles started coming out from different holes.So, I asked how must the puncture happened.he replied saying I would have gone through the glass pieces on road and your tyre pressure was low and so it got punctured for this tyre and other tyre were ok.I started getting to know that here they are putting me into trap.The puncture score had been till 1,2,3,4…till 9 by now and they were going for more.I said this is enough I can check it later.So, they started pursuing me that at least do this two punctures.But I decided to leave from there.I had to pay them for 9 holes which came to 950/-
So, please beware of this puncture shop which is besides Sahyadri hospital after khadki signal a small pit like store with tyres mounted for air stop on left hand side while going from Mumbai to Pune old highway.This is a trap for vehicles passing from this road.Be careful as this are not normal people and are 6-8 people around.
Absoulately I also face the same on that spot , there is one of the Ganesh temple near Khadki where this puncture shop is located.
I request never get trapped in such situation. I was going with scooty and when I told tyre has less pressure then i turn on that shop and he make 15 puncture in my new brand vehicle tyre.
