Question Tire Repair
Anyone have a recommendation for good tire service. Have a nail in a tire and need it pulled and patched and rebalanced.

Thanks

Sumter Tire and Auto on US301 in Wildwood just north of 466A. Cost me $12 to patch and change tires. No appointment needed.

If you are a member of Sam's Club, they will patch/plug your tire for free.
Re-balancing was not included. We just used this service about 2 weeks ago.

The Tire Choice up by Walmart on 466 usually has coupons in the paper for free flat repair.

A couple of options...

Tire World one block off of 466 near Walmart has treated me fairly for flat repair on my golf cart and new tires for my car.

Tires on my MG are from Tire Choice, I found them to be great to deal with.

Smile Thanks for the replies
I wanted to thank everyone for their replies. Went to Tire Choice and got great service. There was a screw in the tire but it turned out to be not a great deal. It did not puncture the tire completely, no loss of air. No charge for their service either. Nice people. .

Had a slow leak on one of the car tires.

Searched on TOTV found this thread - went up Sam's Club and they still repair member's tires for free (the tires were bought before moving here). They were quiet today and had it done in 30 minutes.

Another attaboy for this forum.

Default Tire Repair
Just remember it is a liability and in some states illegal to plug a tire if it is a rope plug from the outside in.

A proper tire repair must have the tire dismounted and a Tech Tire Repair procedure done.

If it is a run flat tire there is no legal patch.
