How much does it cost to plug or repair a tire from a nail?

Any good tire place to get it done at and how much will it usually cost? Are there anyplace that does it for free since I did my tires off the internet.How much does it cost to plug or repair a tire from a nail?
A patch can run between 10 and 20 dollars, depending on where you have it repaired.





Make sure that your chosen repair facility uses a patch or plug-patch combination on the INSIDE of the tire. Do not use external ';plug'; type repairs. These are not only useless, they are potentially dangerous.





Have your tire inspected by a qualified professional.





As to your second question: do YOU work for free?How much does it cost to plug or repair a tire from a nail?
If it is just a nail hole you can patch it yourself with a kit for under $5, just be sure you're near a source of air as the process can deflate the tire some if your not proficient at the repair. Please be aware that technically these repairs are considered temporary and should be followed up with an inside patch which means dismounting the tire and re-balancing afterward. If you go for the self repair, usually the stores will have two or more choices in different price ranges. Spend more and get the set with the better tools as the cheaper ones are harder to use and easier to bend or break. Before all this, get a newspaper and check the ads. In my area, Townfair Tire will repair any flat no matter where you bought the tire for free. This generates a lot of good will and they hope to get your business next time around.Good luck.
America's Tire Company, a national chain will fix flats for free.
In Cleveland,Oh you can find an auto shop to plug your tire for $5-$10. You can also pick up a patch kit at Autozone,Advanced Auto parts and the like for $10-$20, that way you can fix future flats as well, much cheaper that way.
it will cost an average of $15 to $20, or you can buy a plug kit at walmart for about $5 and do it your self...they do include instructions
It costs about $12 where I live
usually about $20
Depends on where you live, somewhere between $20 and $30.


If it is not to baldly worn or old, other wise the garage may order you to purchase a new one or report you to the insurance company.
You can't plug or repair a tire with a nail.
you can spend $3 on a kit and do it yourself. Just follow the directions in the kit. Enlarge the hole, put the plug cord into the tool, insert until it's almost through, then pull the tool back out to double up the plug. It takes about 2 minutes. Otherwise, ANY tire shop can do it for you and usuall charge about $5.
check with the company you bought them from but I doubt that you will find it for free. It cost about $16 where I am from A kit from Auto Zone is not expensive either.
between 5-8 dollars.
$8 any tire shop...why would you get it done for free? Nothing else is free...
