Is puncture risk unusually high for United Alpha because of tyre-shop practices and poor roads?

Puncture shops in Pakistan are widely criticized, with reports of low-quality repairs o r overcharging.
Reddit

Given the frequent presence of debris glass, nails on Pakistani roads, how exposed are Alpha owners to punctures?

Are there reliable tyre repair shops that Alpha owners trust — o r do they frequently face patch-failures?

How much do repeated punctures affect the cost of running an Alpha tyre replacements, repair costs, downtime?

Punctures are very common. Many users report frequent tyre damage due to debris glass, nails on Pakistani roads.

There is also a scam risk: some tyre / puncture shops reportedly either overstate puncture damage o r “create” more problems to make more money.

According to Reddit users, many tyre-shop workers don’t have good training e.g., for heat-patch repairs, which can lead to suboptimal o r unsafe fixes.

That said, there are also some more honest o r reputable tyre repair and puncture services, especially local independent shops.

Implication / Recommendation:

As an Alpha owner, always keep an eye on your tyre pressure and inspect for damage — don’t blindly trust every puncture-shop diagnosis.

Prefer going to tyre shops that are well-reviewed in your city, o r use reliable platforms or known local mechanics for puncture repair.
