Default Cart has a flat tire

Hello,
Ran over a nail today and now have a flat....
Does anyone have a suggestion on whom I could call that would come and put a plug in the tire?
Thanks for any help.

I just put some Fix It Flat in the tire and then drive it to whatever tire company or Wal-Mart is closest. Always have some in my cart for me or others who get a flat.

Although a plug may not be dangerous on a golf cart tire but it is not recommended for a car tire with the speeds a car goes. A blow out would be very dangerous. Most tire manufacturers will not honor their warranty if you plug a tire.

I learned from experience.

I bought a cheap scissor jack and wrench, easy to take the tire off. Took the tire to the tire place at Colony, they patched it for free.
