Flat Tire Repair in Toms River, NJ
Flat repair, plug and patch service and puncture inspections.
Picked up a screw on Route 9? Many punctures in the tread area can be safely repaired, and a proper repair is far less expensive than replacing the tire.
We dismount the tire, inspect it inside and out, and repair it correctly when it is safe to do so. When a tire cannot be repaired safely, we will tell you why rather than patch something that should not be back on the road.

Flat Tire Repair questions
Can a flat tire always be repaired?
No. Repairs are limited to punctures in the tread area within industry guidelines. Sidewall damage, large holes and tires damaged from being driven flat should be replaced.
Is a plug alone good enough?
A proper repair involves removing the tire and inspecting it from the inside. That is the only way to know whether internal damage exists.
