Yea, I just went through that. They said I needed a new tire, & I thought, WHAT. I had some plugs & plug it myself. I drove it from Texas to Ohio & back & it’s still OK. Just don’t get conned into buy a new tire.

Goodyear over by Sam’s will fix it for free and no pressure to buy a new tire!

Anybody, has Jenkins Hyundai tell them the air in their tires need to be changed?
It actually happened to a neighbor.

Tire repair
 
Lady Lake Quality Tire&Repair, 216 Hwy 466 Lady Lake 352.250.4665 close to Old Dixie Hwy and the Wawa 466/441. Don't be fooled by the look as it appears. The owner Vaughn is very reputable, honest, and knowledgeable. I just purchased 4 new tires, balanced, taxes, and installed with a total less than the cost of an internet Tire company for just tires. He also looked at 4 other recommended services by a dealer and said I don't need them and explained why.
He saved me many dollars.

He will tell you if the Tire can be fixed.

In a previous post you were annoyed by a two-week wait for tire rotation at Sam’s?

Yes think that is too long to have to wait for tire rotation that we have previously paid them for.

The manager excuse is the place is too small for the business they do and need more bays.

The Goodyear Tire shop over near Sam's fixed a flat for me for free....I had picked up a nail

Do it yourself. Consult U tube for guidance.

They are somewhat quick to say it cannot be fixed and sell you a new one.

Would recommend Sumter tire

Ditto -- Sumter Auto & Tire for tires & oil changes. There are 2 locations on 301.

Boulevard Tire on 441 just south of 466 on the right.

I have several plug kits. Inexpensive at auto parts stores. Probably plugged close to 100 tires for myself and friend's in 25 years. Not one failure. As mentioned if it's close to the corner it should not be plugged.

Tire stores and other shops won't plug tires due to laibility.
