Which Types of Tire Damage Can be Repaired?

Tires can be safely repaired from puncture damage (from nails, screws, metal fragments, etc.) when:

1)

The hole is ¼ inch in diameter or less

2) The hole is straight through the tread, not jagged or at an extreme angle.

3) The hole is between the “tread shoulders.”

Certain types of tire damage cannot be reliably repaired, including exposed belts and most types of sidewall damage. Since improper tire repair can lead to dangerous blowouts, we can’t - in good conscience - attempt risky repairs. In those cases, the tire will need to be replaced.

Free flat repair service is limited to puncture damage only. Rim leaks are excluded. Applies to most cars and light trucks.

Proper Tire Repair

To do a proper repair, the damaged tire must be removed from the vehicle, broken down, and fixed from the inside. For puncture damage, that means applying both a patch and a plug. The plug prevents loss of air pressure and moisture from entering the hole, while the patch supports the plug.
