Summer traffic thickens Highway 93 through Lakeside enough that a flat tire on the shoulder is not somewhere you want to linger, boats in tow, trailers headed to the marina, and less room to pull off than a straight valley road offers. We come to wherever the flat actually happened instead, starting at $80.
Patch, not plug
An outside plug can hold air well enough to limp somewhere, but it is a stopgap. Every repair we do here is a proper internal patch, sealed and reinforced against the liner, meant to actually last rather than get a vehicle a few more miles down the road before the same tire fails again.
What decides repairable or not
A puncture sitting in the open tread, away from the sidewall and reasonably sized, is generally a solid repair candidate, and that is the kind of damage debris from summer trailer traffic tends to leave. Sidewall cuts are a different situation, and a tire driven any real distance while flat is past saving no matter where the original puncture was. We will tell you plainly if that is what you are looking at, and go over a new tire install as the next step.
Handling it on the shoulder
Get the vehicle to a safe, level spot if you can manage it, Highway 93's narrower stretches near the water leave less margin than a wider road. Try not to push a flat any farther than you truly have to. A balance check is worth doing afterward if the flat happened while moving at speed.
Worth a check while we're already there
Since the wheel is already off, it is a good time to have the spare looked at too, especially on a vehicle that sits parked between weekends at the lake. A neglected spare can be just as brittle as any other tire that sat too long, and better to find that out now than on Highway 93 with nowhere to pull off.
