Flat tire? We fix it where you parked.
Most flats from a nail or screw in the tread can be repaired. A tire tech we work with checks the tire where your car is parked and tells you, before any work, whether it can be repaired or must be replaced.

Can my flat tire be repaired?
Often, if the hole is in the tread and is ¼ inch (6 mm) across or smaller. The tire industry's repair rules rule out the sidewall and the shoulder.
- The hole sits in the tread, where the tire meets the pavement.
- The hole is ¼ inch (6 mm) across or smaller.
- No cut, bulge or hole in the sidewall or shoulder.
- The tire wasn't driven far while flat.
- No old repair overlaps the new hole.
These are the US Tire Manufacturers Association's rules. More in our plug vs patch guide.
Plug or patch: which repair do you get?
The tire industry calls for a plug and a patch, fitted from the inside with the tire off the wheel. Before any work, the tech tells you which repair your tire can get at the car.
- A plug alone, pushed in from the outside, is a temporary fix.
- If a full repair can't be done where the car is, you hear it first.
- Then the choice is your spare, a new tire, or a temporary fix to get you to a shop.
When is a tire not worth repairing?
When the damage is in the sidewall or shoulder, the hole is too big, or the tire was driven flat. Then a new tire is the safe choice.
- Sidewall or shoulder damage: see can a sidewall be repaired?
- A cut or gash, not a round puncture.
- Rubber dust or creases inside: it was run flat.
- Tread worn down to the wear bars.
- Old repairs too close to the new hole.
Then we can fit a new tire at your car.
What do we need from you?
The car, the tire size, where the car is and where the hole is, if you can see it.
- Year, make and model.
- Size from the sidewall, like 205/55R16.
- Where the nail or damage is: tread, edge or side.
- The locking lug nut key, if your wheels have one.

Questions people ask
Is it safe to drive with a nail in my tire?
It depends on where the nail is and how fast the tire is losing air. Leave the nail in, drive slowly, and go only as far as you must.
Can you plug a sidewall?
No. A hole, cut or bulge in the sidewall can’t be safely repaired, so the tire has to be replaced.
Can you fix a run-flat tire?
It depends on the tire maker's rules. Some allow a repair and some allow none, so tell us the tire's brand and model first.
Do I need to be there?
It depends on the job. We need access to the car, the lug nut key if you have one, and your yes by text.
Can you fix a tire on a truck or SUV?
It depends on the tire size and type. Send the size from the sidewall, and we confirm before we quote.
How long does a repair take?
It varies with the tire and the spot. Your quote gives the time, so you can plan around it.
