Flat tires can be very stressful for even the most experienced driver. When you get a flat tire, pull over immediately. It is unsafe to drive on a flat, which is why automakers are required to include a Tire Pressure Monitoring System in vehicles. If your car has a full-size spare or compact "doughnut tire", you can swap the flat tire for it. Keep in mind that a doughnut tire is a temporary solution. For full-size spares, you will want to ensure that the tire is similar in wear to the other tires. If you haven't been including the spare in tire rotations, talk with a service shop like United Tire & Service about options.
Should you find yourself on the side of a busy highway, we recommend calling a tow truck or AAA to assist you. Most vehicles have temporary tires that don't last for long. Once the spare is on, seek a tire repair shop for the punctured tire.
Bring your vehicle to United Tire & Service and we can render flat tire repair services or replace the tire.
There are a few ways to repair a punctured tire. At United Tire & Service, we use patches to repair damage to the tire instead of plugs to ensure a quality repair every time. To start the repair, the wheel is removed from the vehicle, and then the tire is separated from the wheel. From there, the patch is applied to the interior of the tire and then everything is reassembled.
