Not every flat tire can be safely repaired. Columbus Tires inspects punctured and damaged tires first, then explains whether repair is possible or replacement is the safer option.
When you may need it
- You have a nail, screw or other object in your tire
- A tire keeps losing air
- Your tire pressure warning light comes on
- You’ve had to use a spare or a temporary fix
What to expect
- We inspect the tire, including the inside, before recommending anything
- We explain whether the damage appears repairable and why
- If repair isn’t appropriate, we discuss replacement options and pricing
- You decide before any work goes ahead
Questions about flat tire repair
Can every flat tire be repaired?
No. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder, large punctures, or a tire driven on while flat often can’t be safely repaired. We assess the tire before recommending repair or replacement.
My flat happened after hours. What can I do?
Paid emergency service calls are available 24/7. Call us to confirm coverage at your location, availability and charges.
Should I keep driving on a slow leak?
It’s safer to have it inspected soon. Driving on a low tire can damage it beyond repair.
