SERVICE

How much is a tire repair in Falmouth, Windsor and Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia?

The cost will depend on the severity and number of spots where the tire needs to be repaired. If your vehicle needs to be towed, that is another cost to consider. If the damage is extensive, you may need to replace the tire or wheel. You can contact our service centre to get quotes on tires and repairs.

What kind of tire damage can be repaired?

Nails, glass and other debris can cause punctures in your tires. Typically, a plug or patch can be used to repair the damage. Cuts to the tires are usually harder to repair and may require you to replace the tire. Older tires may also start to crack, causing slow leaks. The worn-out material cannot be fixed quickly, and it is best to replace these tires with a new or quality used tire.

Can a tire bubble be repaired?

If your tire starts to get a tire bubble, the tire will need to be replaced. These bubbles are a sign that the structural integrity of the tire is failing. Tire bubbles can be caused by road hazards such as potholes. Other causes include low tire pressure and heavy loads on the wheels.

Regularly checking your tire pressure can help prevent these tire bubbles from forming. Many newer models are equipped with tire pressure monitoring systems to let you know when the tire pressure is low.
