About This Service
Professional flat tire repair for punctures in the repairable area of the tread. Technicians locate the puncture, remove the tire, apply an internal patch-plug combination for a permanent repair that meets industry standards. Not all flats are repairable — sidewall damage or punctures larger than 1/4 inch require tire replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can all flat tires be repaired? ▾
No. Only punctures in the tread area that are smaller than 1/4 inch. Sidewall damage, large gashes, or previously repaired areas cannot be safely patched.
Is a plug-only repair safe? ▾
The industry standard is a patch-plug combination applied from inside the tire. Plug-only repairs are considered temporary and may not hold long-term.
How long does a flat repair take? ▾
Typically 30-45 minutes including tire removal, repair, and remounting.
