What is Flat Repair?

At Automotive Super Center, our ASE-Certified technicians provide expert tire repair at all of our East Texas locations, including Tyler, Longview, Kilgore, Henderson, and Mt. Pleasant. Whether it’s a nail, screw, puncture, or slow leak, we’ll diagnose the issue and get you safely back on the road.
Why Flat Tire Repair Matters
Proper tire pressure is essential for traction, safety, fuel economy, and even suspension health. When a tire loses air, you may experience:
- Poor handling or braking
- Uneven tread wear
- Lower gas mileage
- Increased risk of a blowout
- TPMS warning lights
- Vehicle pulling to one side
Driving on a low or flat tire can lead to irreversible sidewall damage, so it’s important to have the tire inspected as soon as possible by a trained professional.
Can Your Flat Tire Be Safely Repaired?
Our technicians follow industry-approved guidelines to ensure every repair is safe, long-lasting, and meets Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) standards.
A tire can typically be repaired when:
- The puncture is in the tread area (not the sidewall)
- The puncture is ¼-inch (6mm) or smaller
- The tire has more than 2/32" of tread depth
- There is no internal structural damage
If the tire is repairable, we perform a professional plug-patch repair, which includes:
- Dismounting the tire
- Inspecting the inside for hidden damage
- Cleaning and prepping the puncture area
- Applying rubber cement
- Installing a combination plug/patch for a permanent seal
- Rebalancing the tire
If the tire cannot be safely repaired, we’ll review replacement options—no pressure, just honest guidance.
