Can my flat tire be repaired?
Often, yes, if the puncture is small and in the tread area. Industry guidance allows repairs of punctures up to 1/4 inch in the tread.
Bring the tire in and we'll inspect it inside and out before we tell you if it can be fixed.
Which tire damage can't be repaired?
Punctures in the sidewall or shoulder can't be repaired safely, per industry guidance. The same goes for holes larger than 1/4 inch and tires that were driven flat and damaged inside.
If your tire can't be fixed, we can help you find a used tire in your size.
What's the difference between a plug and a patch?
A plug fills the hole from the outside, and a patch seals the inner liner. A proper repair uses both: a patch-plug installed from inside the tire after it's taken off the rim.
Ask us how we'll repair your tire when you bring it in.
Should I drive on a flat tire?
No. Driving on a flat can ruin a tire that could have been repaired, and it can damage your rim.
Put on your spare if you have one, then bring the flat to the shop.
How long does a flat repair take?
We'll tell you the wait time when you call or arrive. Calling or texting before you come in is the easiest way to plan your visit.
Frequently asked questions
Can you fix a nail in my tire?
Often, if the nail is in the tread area and the tire wasn't driven flat. Bring it in and we'll inspect it.
Can a sidewall puncture be repaired?
No. Industry guidance says punctures in the sidewall or shoulder can't be repaired safely, so the tire needs to be replaced.
What if my tire can't be repaired?
We have a big stock of used tires. Tell us your size and we'll check for a replacement and mount it for you.
Why does my tire keep losing air?
It could be a puncture, a leaking valve stem, a leak where the tire meets the rim, or a bent rim. Bring it in and we'll take a look.
How much does a flat repair cost?
Call or text us and we'll give you a quote. We'll confirm once we've inspected the tire.
