Reapply Bubble Check to the accessible serviced area. If bubbles keep growing, air is still escaping.

One sequence

Find. Service. Recheck.

Use the same leak location before and after service so the result is easy to compare.

  1. 1

    Before service

    Find the bubbles and mark the leak location.

  2. 2

    After service

    Inflate the tire to the shop's required pressure. Apply Bubble Check to the accessible serviced area.

  3. 3

    Decision

    Growing bubbles mean air is still escaping. Stop and re-evaluate the repair or service point.

Read the surface

Growing bubbles mean stop.

A growing bubble at the test point indicates escaping air. Mark the location and re-evaluate the repair, valve, bead, or service point.

No growing bubble means Bubble Check did not show escaping air at that accessible test point during that observation. Continue every other inspection and safety step required by the shop.

Claims scope

What this check does not prove.

Plain answers

Before the tire leaves the bay.

Can Bubble Check certify a tire repair?

No. Bubble Check can show whether air is still escaping from the area tested. It does not certify the tire, repair, wheel, or vehicle for service.

What should I watch for after the repair?

Watch for bubbles that continue to grow at the serviced area. Growing bubbles indicate escaping air.

Does this replace the shop's repair procedure?

No. Complete the required inspection, repair, inflation, and safety steps first. Bubble Check is one observable recheck at an accessible area.

Make the recheck visible.

Bubble Check is a low-foam, spray-on tire and air leak detector made in the USA.
