FLAT TIRE REPAIR, TIRE PATCHES, AND MORE

It's a tough road out there, and your tires bear the brunt of potholes, broken glass, nails, screws, and anything else that can puncture a tire. Firestone Complete Auto Care's flat tire repair services are the best in the business. We've been repairing tires since 1926, and we take pride in repairing America's tires. When tire damage strikes, come to Firestone Complete Auto Care–the tire repair shop you can trust.

If you suspect something is wrong with your vehicle's tires, don't hesitate to come into a Firestone Complete Auto Care near you. If your Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) light is on, you've hit something on the road, your tire is losing air, or maybe something just doesn't feel quite right, bring it in. One of our expert technicians will take a look and tell you if you need to repair or replace your tires.

Driving on a damaged tire can lead to additional (and more costly) rim damage and repairs, so it's best to have your tires examined at the first sign of trouble. The solution might be as simple as needing one of our patch plugs if the tire puncture is addressed early on. In other cases, a leaking valve stem or valve core may need to be replaced with a new one or the TPMS sensor needs to be reprogrammed or replaced. Visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care, and we'll take care of you and your vehicle tire repairs.

Tire Repair & Patching/Plug

If your tires still have life left in their tread and are not over 10 years old, Firestone Complete Auto Care maybe be able repair or patch & plug them to get you back on the road quickly. Keep in mind not all tire damage can be patched if the puncture is too big.

Tire Replacement

Tire Replacement

Over time, the tread on your tires wears down, leading to compromised traction on the road and potentially dangerous driving conditions. Tires generally need to be replaced every 25,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on vehicle manufacturer recommendations and driving habits.

Tire Rotations & Balancing

Tire Rotations & Balancing

When you have your tires rotated, you help increase the life of your tires by helping reduce uneven wear. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend a tire rotation about every 5,000 miles or at the manufacturer-recommended mileage. Tire balancing helps ensure weight is evenly distributed around your tires. It's necessary about every 5,000 miles or as recommended by your manufacturer. Balancing can lead to a smoother ride, less tire wear, and reduced strain on the drivetrain. When you think tire balancing, think safe, smooth, and efficient driving.

Wheel Alignments

Wheel Alignments

It's best to have your alignment checked every 6,000 miles or twice a year. Even one misaligned wheel can cause the steering wheel to be off center and can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle over time. Keeping everything properly aligned ensures a smoother ride for you and a longer life for your tires.

Flat Repair

Flat Repair

A flat or leaking tire can leave you stranded on the side of the road or lead to a situation where you lose control while driving. Take care of flat or leaking tires as early as possible to extend tire lifespan and ensure your tire doesn't leave you stranded.

Zip Code Entry Why?

Flat tires rarely happen at ideal times. Let Firestone Complete Auto Care help you with these answers to frequently asked flat tire questions.

Should I Change a Flat Tire Before Coming In for Tire Repair?

To ensure a safe drive that doesn’t damage your rims or create more expensive repairs, change your flat tire with your spare tire before coming into your local Firestone Complete Auto Care center for flat tire repair.

What If I Replace Just One Tire?

It’s tempting to replace just the tire that's damaged, but replacing one tire at a time can present challenges down the road since the one tire will have a different tread depth and thus different accelerating, braking, and cornering abilities than all of the others.

Why Do I Keep Getting Flat Tires?

Few things are more inconvenient than a flat tire —except back-to-back flat tires. Learn the reasons why you keep getting flat tires and what you can do to help prevent flat tires from deflating your spirits!

What Is Pothole Damage?

If your vehicle hits a pothole in the road, you may experience steering and suspension system misalignment and/or damage, tire punctures, bent rims, and more. When your vehicle experiences a sudden jolt from a pothole run-in, timely inspection is highly recommended.

Pothole damage may not be obvious right away, but it can wreak havoc on your entire car if it’s not addressed quickly and fixed right the first time. If you've had a recent run-in with a pothole, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Complete Vehicle Inspection to check for any issues.

What Is a Tire Plug vs a Tire Patch?

A tire plug is a quick fix for a tire that's leaking air from a nail or similar object that has punctured the tire. A tire plug fills the hole of the tire but is not reliable without a tire patch and not recommended to use alone. A patch is applied to the inside of the tire to further prevent an air leak and helps hold the plug in place. This allows a tire with ample useful life left in it to hold air reliably and keep you on the road for longer. 

Can You Repair a Run Flat Tire?

Run flat tires allow you to drive on a flat tire for a limited time with lesser risk than non-run flat tires. A Run Flat tire could be repaired if a nail or object is caught before tire damage occurs. However, if the tire is permanently damaged, it is required to replace a Run Flat tire with a new one.

Why Is My TPMS Light On?

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System light will illuminate if tire pressure is too low or part of the TPMS system has malfunctioned. Important TPMS warning light behavior:

  • Solid — A solid indicator light means one or more tires is operating at an unsafe pressure. Tire air pressure has dropped below the 25% OEM recommendation placard pressure. The recommended tire pressure is most commonly listed on a sticker inside the driver's door. If there's no sticker on the door, you can usually find the specs in the owner's manual.
  • Blinking — A blinking indicator light means the TPMS has malfunctioned. One or more sensors may have failed or lost communication with the vehicle's onboard diagnostics.

What documents to ask for when repairing household appliances and where to complain if they are not issued

Moved into a rented apartment. The washing machine was not working, and the owners were going to fix it at their own expense. They gave us a number to call the master. The main condition: after the repair, we had to give them a warranty card and a receipt.

When the master arrived, we immediately asked him about these documents. He said that there were no problems: he works in the company, and after payment, the managers will send everything to us.

As a result, he fixed the typewriter, but the documents never arrived. Later it turned out that this master works for himself. We did not take a receipt from him, we paid for the repairs in cash. Now we have no evidence of the cost of repairs for the owners of the apartment and a guarantee for these works.

How should we have acted correctly from the very beginning: draw up a contract or take a receipt?

Andrey Nenastiev

electrician

Author's profile

If you only care about receiving compensation from the owners of the apartment for the repair of the washing machine, any document will do: a receipt, a check, a warranty card or an act of repair. From a legal point of view, the same thing: the master had to give out at least something.

What documents must a household appliance repairman issue?

The document says that it is necessary to conclude a contract for the provision of services or a household contract with such a master.

However, if the service or work is performed in the presence of the consumer, then the contract is considered executed if the master issued a cash receipt or any other similar document. That is, the master may not sign a full-fledged contract.

clause 4 of the rules for public services

Household masters have certificates of repairs carried out. Such acts do not have a standard form - each master or company makes its own form. According to the law, they should contain the following information:

  1. Company name and legal address, if it is a legal entity, or full name of the entrepreneur, as well as TIN.
  2. Type of work.
  3. Price.
  4. Name, description and price of materials.
  5. A note on payment for work or information on advance payment, if any.
  6. Date of receipt and execution of the order.
  7. Warranty period.
  8. Master and customer signatures.

The parties can also conclude a full-fledged agreement: on several sheets, with a list of rights and obligations, the consequences of force majeure and the amount of fines and penalties. But for minor repairs, it is hardly advisable to draw up a multi-page document - you can get by with our sample on one sheet or sign another equivalent document. Large contracts are resorted to when, for example, a comprehensive repair of an apartment is needed, and the work will take several weeks and a whole team will carry them out.

Community 03/31/21

How to protect yourself when you hand over your equipment for repair?

The phone was repaired in my presence, but not at home, but in a service center, so the act was filled out on a computer and printed out on a printer. When repairing at home, the master would fill out the form by hand

Instead of the act or in addition to it, the master can issue a check. Repairmen usually don't carry terminals, but sometimes they don't need to. If the master works as a self-employed person, he generates a check in the My Tax mobile application. The master may not print the check, but send it to the customer in electronic form - by mail or messenger.

Why collecting checks is useful

Craftsmen who work under other tax regimes may also issue receipts or work orders. They are filled by hand right in the apartment.

These are the documents for the repair of the dishwasher in 2018. The master gave me a numbered receipt - a strict reporting form, BSO - and an act of work performed The act specifies the terms of repair and there is information about the warranty. From the summer of 2019, it is impossible to issue a BSO instead of a cash receipt if the organization or individual entrepreneur is obliged to apply CCP
This is how a check from a craftsman who works as a self-employed person looks like. He pays 4% tax on the cost of each order of an individual without IP status

These are documents for repairing a dishwasher in 2018. The master gave me a numbered receipt - a strict reporting form, BSO - and an act of work performed. The act specifies the terms of repair and there is information about the warranty. From the summer of 2019, it is impossible to issue a BSO instead of a cash receipt if the organization or individual entrepreneur is obliged to apply CCP

It happens that the master works unofficially and does not pay taxes. From the point of view of the law, he is the same natural person as the customer. The only thing you can ask such a contractor apart from the contract is a receipt for money. The master, most likely, will not want to give a receipt, because it can become proof that he is evading taxes and is running a shadow business.

/remont-tehniki/

How to get a discount on the repair of household appliances

The master gave you the number of the master. Perhaps they have worked with him before and know what company he is from. Call them and explain the situation. You can also call the master directly and remind that he promised you the documents.

Where to complain if the craftsman did not issue anything

Repair of household appliances is a service, the provision of which is regulated by the law on the protection of consumer rights. Rospotrebnadzor monitors compliance with this law. However, it makes sense to complain there only if the master works officially and there are claims on the merits of the repair. For example, equipment was repaired poorly or under-repaired, the master refuses to comply with the terms of the guarantee or used materials and spare parts that were not agreed upon.

Simply put, Rospotrebnadzor works with the legal market and checks those who are in the legal field. Undocumented workers are usually identified by the tax office or the police. That is, if the master did not issue documents, you can complain to the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the tax office and try to attract the master for illegal business activities.

Art. 14.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation

The administrative fine for such a violation is small to be afraid of - up to 2000 R. In addition, in order to bring a person to administrative responsibility, police or tax inspectors will need to identify him and prove that he repairs household appliances regularly. But there is another fine - for entrepreneurship without tax registration, its amount is up to 40,000 R.

item 2 art. 116 NK RF

In your case, you can still complain to the company from which the master allegedly worked. Perhaps the performer is a hired worker who hid the order from the employer in order to earn more on the coven. It is possible that this is not the first story. After a complaint, the manager can punish and even dismiss the employee.

But in many firms, management is loyal to part-time jobs. Masters are allowed to carry out their orders if there is no work, or to offer private services to the firm's clients. Such a system helps to motivate workers with a small salary.

/serviceman/

“Globally, we don’t fool anyone”: how much does a repairman earn

It is also possible that the employee simply lied that he works for the company so as not to arouse suspicion. In this case, it will not work to complain to the employer. It was necessary to check the place of work of the master before the start of the repair by calling the company he named.

What to do in the future if you call the wizard

The procedure is as follows:

  1. Find out which company the master works for and call them.
  2. Check with the manager that they will definitely send you all the documents.
  3. If the master works for himself and is registered as self-employed, he can send an electronic check to your mail.
  4. If you need documents only for the owners, then offer them a receipt from the master. Especially since they themselves gave you his phone number. True, you will have to convince the master to issue such a receipt.

In what cases and at whose expense should the managing organization repair balconies

According to the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, such a constructive element as a balcony belongs to the common property of an apartment building. But not all, but only his gender. Read about when the managing organization is responsible for the condition of the balconies in the premises of the owners and at whose expense they are being repaired.

Why the MA is responsible for balconies

The structure of the common house property includes a load-bearing wall and a balcony slab, in fact - the floor of the balcony. It is recognized as the building envelope of an apartment building and is administered by the building management organization responsible for the maintenance and repair of the common property of the MKD (clause "c", clause 2 of the RF PP No. 491, part 2 of article 162 of the RF LC). For the remaining parts of the balcony - the visor, roof, parapet, as well as glazing - the owner himself is responsible.

Works performed for the proper maintenance of balconies are included in the minimum list of works and services approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 03.04.2013 No. 290. The list includes, among other things, the identification of violations and performance of the balcony slab (clause 9 of the RF PP No. 290).

The management company must determine the condition and, if necessary, plan the repair of balcony slabs during scheduled inspections. Inspections of the condition of the structural elements of the house should be carried out at least twice a year - in spring and autumn (clause 2.1.1 of the Decree of the Gosstroy of the Russian Federation No. 170).

Based on the results of the inspection, the MA must, in accordance with paragraph 2.1.5 of Decree No. 170, within a month determine the list and scope of work to repair the balcony, if deformations and damage to property were recorded.

The MA is also obliged:

  • to check the correct use of the balconies by the residents of the building;
  • avoid placing bulky and heavy things on balconies, littering and pollution;
  • to explain to residents of MKD the rules for operating balconies (clause 4. 2.4 of Decree No. 170).
On the maintenance of the common property of the house, mandatory for the MA

223325

60019

Inspection of the balcony can be carried out not only according to the plan of the managing organization, but also at the request of the owner or tenant of the premises in the house. If, when examining the balcony, the MA found signs of damage, then, according to clause 4.2.5 of Decree No. 170, the organization is obliged to take urgent measures and ensure the safety of people by preventing the development of deformations.

The MA's procedure in such a situation is as follows:

  1. Draw up an inspection report for the damaged balcony slab, which should describe the nature and location of the damage, the cause, if it is known.
  2. Determine the nature and extent of the required restoration work.
  3. Determine the source of funding.
  4. If the balcony slab is in an emergency condition and poses a threat to people's safety, then close and seal the entrance to the balcony until the repair work is carried out (clause 4. 2.4.3 of Decree No. 170).

Balcony repairs are always paid for by owners of premises in an apartment building who bear the burden of maintaining common property:

  1. If current repairs are required, then the source of its financing is the funds that the residents of the house monthly contribute to the address of the MA for the maintenance and repair of the common property of the house.
  2. If the damage is significant and major repairs are required, then the issue is submitted to the general meeting of the owners of the premises in the MKD.

Despite the fact that the current repairs, as well as the overhaul, are within the competence of the general meeting of owners, the absence of a decision by the OSS to carry out such work is not a reason for the MA not to perform them (appeal ruling of the Altai Regional Court dated 06.09.2017 in case No. 33-9061/2017). The MA must carry out the current repair of the balcony slab without waiting for the decision of the OSS.

plates.

The plaintiff lived in a house that required major repairs, but was not included in the regional program. The owner demanded from the MA to carry out work to restore the balcony. The managing organization refused, citing the fact that the balcony slab required a major overhaul. The plaintiff was advised to initiate the OSS.

Then the owner applied to the GZHN. The department conducted an inspection and decided that the balcony slab had minor damage, therefore, its repair should be carried out at the expense of the funds contributed by the residents of the house for the maintenance and repair of the common property of the MKD.

The MA has assembled a commission from representatives of the municipality, the regional BTI, the GZHN body. The commission ruled that the house required a major overhaul and should be included in the regional program. In conclusion, the need for a major overhaul of the controversial balcony slab was recorded.

The owner filed a lawsuit. As of the date of the case, the house was not included in the regional overhaul program. The court drew attention to the fact that the balcony slab is located above the sidewalk and creates a danger to the life and health of people. The organization managing the house is obliged to take measures in such a situation in accordance with clause 4.2.4.2 of Decree No. 170.

Since the MA did not carry out security work and measures to restore the balcony, the court ruled that it had not fulfilled the obligation to maintain and repair the balcony slab, the physical deterioration of which had reached the maximum permissible reliability and safety characteristics. The balcony threatened the life and health of citizens.

The judge noted that in houses where major repairs are planned in the next five years, current repairs must be carried out to ensure standard living conditions (clause 2. 3.7 of Resolution No. 170). Thus, the court ordered the MA to carry out current repairs of the balcony slab.

Is the MA obliged to carry out current repairs without the decision of the general meeting

When the MA has the right to dismantle the balcony without the consent of the owner

In another case, the owner purchased an apartment in an apartment building and noticed that, contrary to the cadastral passport, the apartment does not have a balcony. The former owner of the apartment explained that the balcony was dismantled in his absence.

It turned out that the balcony slab was in disrepair, which is confirmed by the inspection report. The inspection was carried out by representatives of the managing organization and the municipality. In order to prevent the plate from falling, it was decided to dismantle it. The MA has complied with the decision.

The new owner asked the management company to restore the destroyed balcony. The MA refused, citing the absence of a decision of the general meeting of the owners of the premises in the house to carry out a major overhaul. The owner went to court.

The court sided with the managing organization, since the commission that examined the balcony slab drew up an act on its emergency condition. The wear of structural elements was more than 50%, they were not subject to repair and restoration. In order to prevent the fall of the balcony slab, it was dismantled. The work was carried out in the absence of the owner of the apartment, since no one lived in it for a long time.

The restoration of the balcony, as the court pointed out, relates to the overhaul of the common property of an apartment building. Such a decision must be made by the owners at the general meeting (clause 1, part 2, article 44 of the LC RF). The court rejected the claim and advised the owner of the apartment to initiate a general meeting of owners to decide on the restoration of the balcony slab at the expense of capital repairs.

Remember

On the issue of responsibility for the condition and repair of balconies in apartment buildings, managing organizations should remember the following:

  1. The common property of an MKD does not include the entire balcony, but only the balcony slab (floor) and the load-bearing wall of the house.
  2. The MA is obliged to conduct inspections and monitor the condition of the common property of the house, including balcony slabs, and take timely measures to restore their proper condition.
  3. The MA must carry out routine repairs of balcony slabs at the expense of funds collected from the residents of the house for the maintenance and repair of common property, regardless of whether the corresponding decision was made at the OSS.
  4. If the balcony slab requires a major overhaul, as evidenced by an inspection report, the decision to repair can only be taken by the owners at a general meeting. At the same time, the MA should carry out work as part of the current repair, if the overhaul is not planned in the near future.
  5. If the owners have not made a decision to overhaul the emergency balcony slab, then the managing organization has the right to close and seal the entrance to the emergency balcony.

The managing organization should not ignore the complaints of the residents of the house about the condition of the balconies: if the structure collapses due to the wear of the balcony slab, then the responsibility for this will be borne by the MA and its officials.
