Repairs That Follow Industry Standards
Our repair methods follow the Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) guidelines. A tire can generally be repaired when the puncture is 1/4 inch or smaller and located in the tread area. The recommended repair combines a plug with a patch on the tire's inner liner, which can add thousands of miles to a damaged tire.
What We Fix
- Punctures in the tread from nails, screws, and road debris
- Slow leaks from damaged valve stems
- Air loss where the tire bead meets the wheel rim
Don't Wait on a Flat
Driving on an underinflated tire lets the rim come closer to the ground and can damage both the tire and the wheel. If a tire has sidewall damage or a puncture that is too large, we will let you know and help you choose a replacement.
