What kind of 24×7 services can I get on the road?
From car breakdown tow-away service to battery recharge and accident relief, these services are predominant on Indian roads.
Is there a bike helpline service?
Yes, there are random service offerings by private service providers, but subject to variations in terms of availability at locations, time taken to reach the location and the range of services offered. For 2-wheeler riders, in particular, cost is also a big consideration which is mostly high & thus therefore undesirable.
Does any company offer tyre related service?
Yes. In the last 6 months, Steelbird Tyres has rolled out the unique, first-of-its-kind Puncture Doctor service for its 2-wheeler tyre customers, with flat tyre assistance anytime, anywhere, just by placing a call on the toll-free number 1800 119 400. It is a boon for 2-wheeler riders and the service is completely free.
How can a rider avail the service?
It’s simple. When a buyer purchases a Steelbird Tyre, he/she is registered on the database and given a unique product code which is also printed on the product. In the event of a puncture, the rider has to just call the toll-free helpline, give the code number reference and wait for just a few minutes before help arrives on site.
What is the objective for Steelbird Tyres to launch Puncture Doctor?
Steelbird Group has built a rock solid legacy over a 55 year period since inception and is deeply committed to the quality of its products, constant innovation, adapting to changing market needs, safety of its customers as well as securing their trust and loyalty in the long run. In line with this ideology, Puncture Doctor is a unique service that combines with a superlative product, Steelbird Tyres, to enable a seamless experience to the customer across India.
