Oh course that clicking couldn't have been a simple rock, no, it had to be a nail.

Anyone know of a good shop in SF that won't damage my wheel to patch/plug my tire? Mach III?

 

Faxon Garage, on Faxon/Ocean, a block down from Mach III

 

I figured as much, but thought I'd ask anyway. I really wish they had Sunday hours, my weekdays are usually booked solid.

 

Faxon Garage IS owned/run by Mach III, no?

+1 for Mach III

 

Firestone usually does a good job, but it might take a little time since they're always frikkin' busy.

 

no, but thats the garage they use/refer to, real good guys who know how to care for your wheels

 

-1 for Firestone. Last time they charged me $35 for it and it took 1.5 hours. Take it to Wheel works and show your AAA card and it's free.

 

faxon.i've used larkin brothers and they were really fast and cheap ive never had arim where i was really worried about it. still holding air perfect. probably helps to really ask them to be careful with it

 

Faxon down the street from Mach III and Wheel works up the street from Mach III. all on ocean ave! haha take your pick

 

Theres a Michelin- branded place on Mission near Silver that did my tire patch for $20. Only took like twenty minutes

 

Whoa, that sucks! Which branch was it so I can avoid it

 

Thanks for the suggestions. Since it was a Sunday, I took it to Larkin Bros. on South Van Ness. They were great, patched it, didn't mess up my wheel and were nice guys too. All for $20, so I can't complain and I was done in less than 30 min.

 

Right on! Nice!
