FAQ

Is it ok to drive on a flat tire?

If the tire is just low on air, you usually won't damage the tire by driving on it as long as you get it repair ASAP. However, if the tire is completely flat you shouldn't drive on it - you could damage the tire beyond repair, or worse, the wheel. We recommend putting on a spare tire or getting the vehicle towed into the shop - contact Ford Roadside Assistance for further assistance.

What is the process of repairing a tire?

The process we take to repair a leaking tire depends on where the leak is coming from, so first we will dismount the tire and determine the origin of the leak. Most times the leak is coming from a puncture such as a nail or screw, but the leak could also be coming from the bead or the valve stem. If the tire has been punctured, we will plug the hole from the inside of the tire, then rebalance it and mount it back on the vehicle. Note that tires can only be plugged if the puncture is not on the sidewall or shoulder and the object that punctured the tire is less than a quarter-inch wide. If the tire is leaking from the bead (the place where the tire meets the rim), we will take the tire off the wheel, clean the bead, and reseal it. If the tire is leaking from the valve stem, we will replace the valve stem.

Why is it important to get my tire repaired?

If you have a tire that is leaking air, it is important for your safety to have it inspected immediately. Punctured tires are more likely to blow out while driving. Also, driving on under inflated tires will cause them to wear more quickly and abnormally.


How long does it take to repair a tire?

Repairing a tire can be done as quickly as 30-45 minutes. However, there are other factors that may cause it to take longer - such as if the tire is unrepairable and it has to be replaced, or if we happen to be busy when you arrive.
