Tire repair

I think that I have a slow slow leak in my rear passenger tire. Does anyone have any recommendations on where I can take my tire to get it repaired here in the Sacramento area? and does anyone have any idea of what the range of cost would be???

Americas Tire will fix it (provided it's fixable) for free.

edit: regardless of whether or not you purchased your tires there.

Or you can do it yourself. Takes like 15 mins to do.

Yep. I love Americas Tire for that. I've had tons of tires fixed there for no charge. The first set I had fixed there I didn't buy there. Every set of tires since has been purchased there. They also have a kick *** road hazard program for the tires so if you flatten it and it is not fixable they replace it no charge. Done that too.

well, I looked up the website and it says if they are not tires that you bought from them, then I will be charged normally... anywho, does anyone have an estimation of what it might cost to repair a single tire (if it is repairable). I'd kinda like to have an idea before I call...

What about if they wear out prematurely, say from some "aggressive driving" that you don't bother to mention. Are the tires covered in that situation?

I don't think they'll replace a tire if it goes flat because you corded it..
