A flat tire doesn’t always mean replacement. After a thorough inside-and-out inspection, many punctures can be safely repaired when they meet industry guidelines. If your tire can’t be repaired, we’ll help you find the right replacement.
Yes—Discount Tire offers free tire safety inspections and free flat tire repair at every location, even if you didn’t buy your tires from us. No purchase necessary.
Free flat tire repair when the damage is repairable per USTMA guidelines (see below)
Walk-ins are welcome. Appointments are recommended for the shortest in‑store wait.
How we repair a flat
Remove the tire from the wheel to inspect both the exterior and interior
Verify the puncture is in the tread, properly sized, and not overlapping a previous repair
Fill the injury with a vulcanizing plug/stem and apply a patch on the inner liner
Rebalance, reinstall, and test for leaks
This patch‑and‑plug method is the industry‑approved, safe way to return a repairable tire to service.
When a tire can’t be repaired
Damage in the shoulder or sidewall
Punctures larger than 1/4 inch (6 mm)
Any repair that would overlap a previous repair
Internal damage from running flat or severe impact
If your tire is beyond repair, we’ll recommend safe replacement options that fit your vehicle and budget. You can shop tires anytime.
