FIRESTONE HAS BEEN THE NATION'S LEADING TIRE PROVIDER FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY.

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

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.

Most Tires Fixed in No Time Flat

We’ll get your tires repaired as fast as possible. Just come by any Les Schwab location or make an appointment online.

Tires Made as Good as They Were Before

Every year, we mend more than 1 million tires. We guarantee that each repair will last the life of the tire.


How Does Flat Tire Repair Work?

    The Best Tire Value Promise® Limited Warranty is provided for free as part of Les Schwab’s World Class Customer Service and is valid for the original purchaser of the new passenger and tubeless light truck tires listed on the original invoice (“Covered Tire(s)”).

    Whatever the road throws at you, from potholes to nails or other road hazards, you have peace of mind protection that we will repair or replace your Covered Tire for its remaining value under the terms of this Best Tire Value Promise® Limited Warranty. Our workmanship is guaranteed for the life of your Covered Tires.

    Les Schwab provides tire protection for Covered Tires with non-repairable damage due to normal road hazards (“Tire Protection”). If a Covered Tire is eligible for Tire Protection, you are entitled to one of the exclusive remedies listed below. Normal road hazards are unexpected contact of a Covered Tire with objects on the road that are not a normal part of the road surface, such as rocks, nails, potholes, unexpected debris, or glass

    EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES: If a Covered Tire is eligible for Tire Protection, fails to conform to the limited warranty for tread life, or fails due to defects in manufacture or materials, Les Schwab will provide at its election one of the following exclusive remedies:

    A. If a Covered Tire eligible for Tire Protection incurs non-repairable damage during the first 25% of tread wear, Les Schwab will replace it free of charge. After the first 25% of tread wear, Les Schwab will provide a pro-rata adjustment consistent with section (C).

    B. If a Covered Tire wears to a tread depth of 2/32nds before the mileage indicated in the limited warranty for tread life, Les Schwab will make a pro-rata adjustment based on the original purchase price, excluding Federal Excise Tax, multiplied by the pro-rata adjustment. The pro-rata adjustment is 100% less miles of service divided by the mileage indicated in the limited warranty for tread life.

    C. If a Covered Tire fails due to defects in its manufacture or materials during the first 25% of tread wear, Les Schwab will replace it free of charge. After the first 25% of tread wear, Les Schwab will make a pro-rata adjustment based on the original purchase price, excluding Federal Excise Tax, multiplied by the pro-rata adjustment. The pro-rata adjustment is the percentage of remaining tread down to 2/32nds. Except as set forth in section (B), a tire worn down to 2/32nds tread depth is not a Covered Tire.

    D. You may elect to receive an adjustment in the form of cash or a credit applied to the purchase of new tires at any Les Schwab Tire Center.

    WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY FOR TREAD LIFE: The limited warranty for tread life does not cover services, damage or wear due to any of the following: misuse or abuse, misalignment or tires out of balance, over or underinflation, repairs, off road use or use on unpaved roads, use on commercial vehicles, campers, or trailers, excessive loading, vehicle accidents, or tire contact with curbs, poles, garbage bins or other similar items on or off the road surface.

What Kinds of Tires Does Les Schwab Tires Fix for Free?

    All repairable flats on passenger and tubeless light truck tires listed on the original invoice are fixed free of charge for the life of the Covered Tire through 12. 00 inch size cross section. Lock ring and tube type wheels are not included.

How Long Does a Flat Repair Last?

    Proper flat repair is like a graft. The patching material used gets chemically bonded to the tire tread and is intended to make your tire as good as it was before the flat. It’s no more likely to need repair again than the other tires in your set that haven’t gone flat. The repair will last for the life of the tire but in the unlikely event there is an issue, we will fix it for free.

How Does Les Schwab Fix Flat Tires?

    We use the industry standard approach called plug and patch. We clean up the hole in the tread, get any debris out, plug the puncture with rubber and plies and patch the tire. We also reset the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system).

How Long Will It Take?

    From the time the vehicle gets into the repair bay, the work takes 15 to 20 minutes on average. It just depends on the wheel, the size and the tire type. Flat repairs are done first come, first served, so there could be additional time involved if there are others ahead of you.

    There could also be more time required if it’s a self-sealing tire or you’ve used an aerosol fix-a-flat kit. Then we have to clean out the sealant gunk and dry the inside of the tire as part of the process. We also clean the TPMS sensors and verify they haven’t been damaged by the spray.

Tire repair | AP-service

Tire repair
The AP-service company offers car tire repair services at affordable prices at our hospitals on Rizhskaya Square and at a car repair shop on Yuzhnoportovy Proezd. In addition, you can use our mobile tire shops and order tire repair with a visit to the customer anywhere in Moscow and the Moscow region. The high qualification and experience of our masters, combined with the use of modern materials and technologies, will help you get a positive result and extend the life of your car tires.

Tire repair technology depends on the nature of the damage and allows in 70% of cases to restore its performance. Maintainability is determined by the master during a visual inspection.
Almost all modern cars are equipped with tubeless tires. They were designed for safety. When a chamber tire was punctured, the wheel instantly lost pressure, and the car could go into an uncontrollable skid. In addition, the chamber in the wheel adds extra weight and extra grams when balancing. A modern tubeless tire does not immediately deflate in the event of a puncture and allows the driver to get to the nearest tire service. And tires with RunFlat technology allow you to drive up to 70 kilometers on a punctured wheel. Consider the types of damage and how to repair them.

Types of damage and repair methods for tubeless tires
- Wheel puncture
When a wheel is punctured into the tread, the angle at which the foreign object entered the tire is taken into account. If it is about 90%, then in this case you can get by in the simplest way - installing a tourniquet. The simplest tourniquet - "lace" is considered a temporary repair. In our workshops, we use the latest know-how from the Japanese company "Maruni" - cord harnesses. Outwardly, they differ in oval shape. In combination with the adhesive of the same company, they allow the wheel to be used until it is completely worn out and are considered a permanent repair. When correcting poor-quality repairs and in other cases, a special fungus of the desired diameter is used, or a cord patch. When the puncture angle is close to 45%, the tire is repaired using a fungus stem.

- Side cut
Through damage to the sidewall of the wheel is called a side cut. It is a complex type of damage, as it is associated with a cut in the wheel frame - cord threads, and is not always repairable.

- Wheel bulge
As a result of a strong impact, the cord steel threads of the carcass are torn, and a hernia pops out on the tire.
To repair a side cut and eliminate a hernia on a wheel, we use technologies and materials from Tip-Top, Maruni, Rosvic. There are two main methods used:

- Cold vulcanization method.
An express method in which a cord patch (patch) is glued using a special glue.

- Hot vulcanization method.
High-quality repair of medium and large types of damage using a vulcanizer.
Depending on the complexity of the tire damage, our specialists can combine these methods to achieve the best result.

AP-service company makes high-quality repair of punctures and side cuts of tires in Moscow at affordable prices. Turning to us you get a professionally performed service and save your time!

Side repair and repair of tire cuts in St.

Petersburg at a bargain price

Poor quality of the road surface, defects, mechanical damage or improper operation of car tires make it necessary to periodically replace or repair tires. The good condition of the wheels is a guarantee of your safety, so it is strongly not recommended to neglect timely maintenance. A necessary requirement for high-quality and prompt repair is the availability of professional skills and special equipment that allows you to quickly eliminate punctures, cuts and other violations of the rubber integrity.

Tire repair price:

The cost of tire retreading depends primarily on the nature of the damage, wheel size, tire wear and other parameters. At the same time, the complexity of the repair work, the need for additional strengthening of the restored areas, the use of appropriate consumables and the professionalism of specialists who perform all the necessary operations are of no small importance.
In the network of workshops "Two Atmospheres", when performing tire repair, the price is set at the most acceptable level for the client, while we offer a system of discounts to our regular visitors, guaranteeing a high quality of service.

Types of tire repair in our company:

  1. Repair of side cuts. Despite the rather high complexity of working with defects of this type, our specialists will carry out tire side repairs with the highest quality, which will extend the life of the tires. The technology includes two stages - the installation of a patch, the shape and composition of which fully correspond to the characteristics of the tire, and the vulcanization of the cut.

  2. Repair of blisters on the surface of tires. The so-called hernias occur due to the exfoliation of rubber from the cord or damage to individual carcass threads. Repair is carried out by installing a reinforced patch with reinforced cord threads.

  3. Puncture repair is the easiest type of repair to implement. Punctures of small diameter can be eliminated almost without a trace by installing a small patch in their place.

    Repair of tire cuts, punctures and other defects requires the utmost attention from the master. Regardless of the extent of the damage, we always guarantee all types of repairs, and we provide a lifetime warranty for repairs using hot vulcanization.
