Flat tire - who you gonna call? STX

I don't know off hand, but I would suggest calling your insurance company for a referral. Good luck!

What I've done is taken my flat off, get a ride to 5 corners where they'll plug it for $7 I think, then return and put it on.

The plugs usually hold long enough to replace it for good. Nothing worse that catching a flat!

Get a compressor/inflater that plugs into your car and a tubeless tire patch/plug kit and keep it in your car with a spray bottle of soap and water to find the leak. Sometimes you need pliers to pull out a screw or a nail. A can or two of the flat fix will usually get you home.

You can get a spare at one of the Junkyards.

My wife and I have had 14 flat tires in the 5 1/2 years we have lived here on STX between our two vehicles, all due to screws or nails. I had 13 of them plugged ($5 to $8) and one patched ($12). The only one that ever failed and had to be redone was the patch. For the plugs they don't even take the tire off, 15 minutes or less from drive up to drive off. I have an air compressor and so far have always been able to pump the tire up and then make a mad dash to a tire store about 10 minutes away. For reasons I don't understand, the majority of the flats occurred the first two years we were here. Over the past couple of years we have only had 2 or 3 flats but drive as much or more than we used to. Fortunately, tire repair via plug or patch seems to be one of the very few things that is cheaper here than in the States.

I agree -- I've had good success with tire plugs. And they really are easy to do yourself as long as you keep the little kit around. (And this is coming from a not-so-mechanically-inclined girl... 😀 )

You may not be mechanically inclined but you get lots of the same type of practice sticking needles in people and sewing them up.:@)
