The road is plagued with sharp objects, potholes, and other debris that take a toll on your tires. Your tires bear the brunt of all the obstructions, which makes getting a flat tire inevitable. If you suspect something is wrong with your vehicle tires, gently bring the car to a stop and safely pull over on the side of the road or an emergency bay so you can check your tire. It is dangerous to drive on faulty tires. If you keep driving on a damaged tire, it can lead to additional damage and repairs. The solution for a flat tire might be a simple patch and tire plug if the tire damage is addressed early on. 

Why is it Important to Fix a Flat Tire Immediately?

Flat tire repair is a time-sensitive matter. It is essential that you have your flat tire inspected and it replaced as soon as possible. Seeking a timely tire repair service can help you avoid purchasing a new tire prematurely. Driving on a flat tire can cause severe damage to the tire and rim and lead to expensive repair costs and dangerous driving conditions. The longer a driver uses a flat tire, the more unlikely it becomes that a tire repair service can be performed. Proper flat tire repair will begin with a careful internal and external inspection of your tire to determine if it is fixable.

When Can Flat Tire Repair Be Performed? 

Most flat tires are caused due to low tire pressure or puncture from sharp objects and can be easily repairable in most cases. If you drive on a flat tire for an extended period, you will undoubtedly cause excessive damage, making repair unlikely. We will perform an inspection to diagnose the severity of your tire's injury and determine if tire repair is possible. A flat tire repair can be done if:

• The puncture is within the specified tread area.

• Puncture injury cannot be more significant than 1/4 inch (6mm) in diameter

• There is no evidence of a previous repair around the puncture

• There is no sidewall or shoulder damage to the tire

• There is no aging or deterioration of the tire rubber
