When a tire can be repaired
A small puncture in the tread area can usually be repaired. A hole in the sidewall or shoulder, a large cut, or a tire that was driven flat usually can't be repaired safely and needs replacing. We check the inside of the tire before we decide.
The tire pressure light
A steady light usually means one or more tires are low, which is common when the temperature drops in fall. A light that flashes first and then stays on usually points to a sensor problem. We check the pressures and the sensors and tell you which it is.
Flat tire and TPMS questions
How much does a flat tire repair cost?
Flat tire repair is $25 & up. A TPMS sensor is $80 & up per sensor. If a tire can't be safely repaired, we quote a new one.
Can you fix a nail in my tire?
Usually, if it's in the tread and not near the sidewall. Leave the nail in until you get here, since pulling it out can turn a slow leak into a flat.
Why is my tire pressure light on when it gets cold?
Air pressure drops as the temperature drops, so the first cold mornings often trigger the light. Top the tires up to the pressure on the sticker in the driver's door. If it comes back on, a tire may have a slow leak.
Do you do seasonal tire swaps too?
Yes. See tire swaps and storage. An on-rim swap is $60 & up.
