Tire Repair and Installation

admin — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 19:47:52 +0000

Contrary to popular belief radial tires can be repaired permanently with a plug inserted anywhere on the tread face of the tire providing there are no steel fibers exposed at injury site. If the injury is a large one a plug patch can be inserted requiring removal of the tire from the rim requiring re-balancing. A tire plug can be done while you wait under most circumstances. Give us a call ahead of time so we know when to expect you. 613 721 6244 Installation of your summer or winter tires however does require an appointment and will take approximately 1 - 1 1/2 hours and can be done while you wait. If your vehicle is equipped with tire pressure monitors we are equipped to deal with these devices. We can fix flat tires while you wait. Call Jim for quick tire repairs!
