Can You Repair The Nail In My Tire??


Rips, tears, worn out tires cannot be repaired. However, many cars come in with a nail/screw in the tire, and most of these tires can be saved.

We remove the nail/screw and use a special rubberized plug to fill the hole.  If the hole is too large for a plug, we remove the tire from the rim and use a patch to repair the hole.  These repairs are as good as the rest of the tire.  They last as long as the tire is viable.

I can repair the tire as long as the nail is on the “Face” of the tire, however, I cannot repair a tire if the screw/nail is in the side of the tire.   

Many customers came here after going to a local tire shop because the local tire shop told them their tire could not be repaired (plugged).  Each of these customers had repairable tires. 

This shop is in the tire selling business, not customer service business.

This nail is in the face of the tire and can easily be plugged.

Many repair shops will tell you that a nail in this location cannot be plugged.  I disagree.  I have successfully repaired tires like this one.

This nail is in the sidewall, and therefore, cannot be repaired.  

I hope this has been helpful.

  3. My name is Jennifer from New Jersey , I saw comments from people who had already got their loan from Anderson Loan Finance. Honestly, I thought it was a scam, and then I decided to make a request based on their recommendations. A few days ago, I confirmed in my personal bank account amounting to $63,000 dollars which I applied for. This is really good news and I am so very happy that I advise all those who need a real loan and who are sure to reimburse to apply through their email pedroloanss@gmail.com.

  4. If you're a Honda owner in Dubai, you might be wondering how much it will cost to repair a nail in your tire. While the honda cost of repairs can vary depending on the severity of the damage and the make and model of your car, you can typically expect to pay between AED 200 and AED 400 for a standard tire repair. If you have a more expensive car or if the damage is more severe, you might have to pay closer to AED 1,000. No matter how much it costs, though, it's always cheaper to repair a nail in your tire than it is to replace the entire tire.
