How much to fix a flat these days?

I took one off my van a week or so ago and carried it to a local tire distributor (not Discount Tire), where they dismounted it and repaired from the inside. Charge was $7.50. I have used the canned inflatant in the past to get to a tire shop, and they haven't complained BUT I always tell them up front. I used to use the adhesive felt strips, and plugged the tires myself. It always worked perfectly and I never had any problems with the method. I noticed that those kits now carry a statement that these are for temporary repairs. I wouln't hesitate to use them if I needed them. |
