A professional tire repair typically takes 30-45 minutes. This includes removing the tire from the wheel, inspecting for internal damage, applying the plug and patch from inside, and remounting/balancing the tire. Simple plug-only repairs may be faster but aren't as safe or permanent.
A proper plug and patch repair (also called a combination repair) is considered permanent and safe for the life of the tire. However, a simple plug from the outside is only a temporary fix. Always choose the combination repair method for maximum safety and longevity.
While DIY tire repair kits exist, they only plug from the outside and are temporary fixes. Professional repair includes removing the tire, inspecting for internal damage, and applying both a plug and patch from inside. For safety, professional repair is strongly recommended.
Professional tire repair costs between $20-35 per tire for a proper plug and patch combination. This is significantly cheaper than replacing a tire ($150-300+). Many shops offer free inspections to determine if your tire can be safely repaired.
Most tire manufacturers do not recommend repairing run-flat tires, especially if they've been driven while flat. The internal structure may be damaged even if the outside looks fine. Check your vehicle and tire manufacturer guidelines.
Industry standards allow up to 2-3 repairs per tire, provided they're in different areas and at least 16 inches apart. However, if repairs overlap or are in the same general area, the tire should be replaced for safety reasons.
A proper professional repair following industry standards will not void your tire warranty. However, improper repairs or DIY fixes may void warranties. Always keep receipts and documentation of professional repairs.
If you can safely drive, leave the nail in place until you reach a tire shop - it may be slowing the air leak. If the tire is rapidly losing air, install your spare and get to a shop immediately. Never attempt to drive on a completely flat tire.
