Dismounting and inspection of the tire to determine whether it can be repaired
If You Have a Flat Tire, Driving on it is the Last Thing You Should Do
It can cause irreparable damage to the tire and wheel. Your tire can become punctured due to road debris such as nails, broken glass, or other sharp objects that can create a tiny fissure that will lead to a slow loss of air pressure.
-
Many times, a small puncture can be repaired without needing to replace the tire.
If you are driving and you get a flat, cautiously ease off the gas and gradually stop on the shoulder of the road. Riding on a flat tire will cause irrevocable damage to the tire.
-
If your tire is not flat but is low on air this situation should also be addressed.
You may have a slow leak in your tire. Driving with low pressure could cause loss of traction, poor fuel economy, reduced ride comfort, and impact safety. Driving with low pressure, especially at high speeds, could trigger a blowout, causing loss of control, which may be very harmful.

Repair or Replacement?
While most punctures can be easily repaired, unfortunately, not all punctures are repairable, and a replacement tire is needed. Properly repairing a flat tire is very important. A flat tire can be repaired if the puncture is ¼ inch or smaller and if the puncture is located on the tread of a tire. It is recommended that the tire repair procedure involve a plug and a patch on the lining of the tire. A plug and a patch can add thousands of miles more to a damaged tire.
It is safer to replace your tire than to try to repair it if the puncture is on the side of the tire, the area that needs to be repaired overlaps another repair, or the damage is larger the 1/4 inch in diameter.

- The puncture is within the specified tread area
- Puncture injury cannot be greater than 1/4 inch (6mm) in diameter

I had a flat tire and also a ruined wheel. I texted them, got everything sorted out and was given an accurate and fair quote immediately after a few quick and painless questions (thank you Andrew!) the boys at the front are swell guys, and I paid a low low rate for parts and labour, it was not bad at all. Nothing extra was pushed on me either and they fixed my wheels in what felt like less than 20 minutes. Go with these guys if you got tire problems or whatever else they can do for you, they’re top notch. Highly recommended.
Excellent place, very fast communication. Had the tires I was looking for at an amazing price. Answered phone instantly, ordered them for next day. They texted me when the tires were ready – came over, had them installed in less than 45 minutes and was on my way. Even helped me load old tires that I needed into bags. Honestly couldn’t be simpler, it is a tire shop that sells tires and does it well. Will recommend to everyone I know.
Best service you can get in GTA. Reasonable prices and great selections of rims and tires. I bought a set of winter tires. After a little while I found out that one of them has a manufacturing defect. Came on Saturday and got it replaced on Monday morning. No questions asked.
