I need to get my tire "plugged"--how much does that cost?

Question

Also, where is a trustworthy place to get this done for cheap? Any particular chain, like Tires Plus? Sears Auto?

Answer 1

sears is $18 for a smaller normal sized rim.  more expensive for "low-profile" tires.  i wouldnt suggest the kit they are for temporary use only.  

Answer 2

7.00 @ walmart, 10.00@tire shop

Answer 3

National Tire & Battery will do it (patch and plug) for free...

Answer 4

not a good idea but in fl. it illeagle to charge because it voids the warrentee.

Answer 5

Any tire shop can do it or you can do it yourself(kit).

Answer 6

Buy a kit for $6.00 and do it yourself.

Answer 7

Take it to walmart or sears and they can fix it. Should be around 20 bucks.

Answer 8

"Plugging" is not an approved type of repair for a passenger radial tire and the use of such a method will void the factory warranty on your tire.

The only proper way to repair a tire is with an internal combination patch/plug which requires removing the tire from the rim and inspecting it for internal damage.  You can't do that at home. Any tire store does this a dozen or more times a day and costs vary by location so give a local store a call.
