$30 Tire Repair in Omaha | Gateway Auto
Picked up a nail? We repair punctured tires quickly and safely. Not all tire damage can be repaired - we'll tell you honestly whether repair is safe or replacement is necessary.
When We Can Repair
Tire repair is safe when:
- Puncture is in the tread area (not sidewall)
- Puncture is less than 1/4 inch diameter
- Tire has adequate remaining tread depth
- No previous repairs in the same area
- No damage to tire sidewalls or belts
Our Repair Process
We use proper plug-patch combination repairs (not just quick plugs). The tire comes off the rim, we inspect the inside for hidden damage, apply a patch to the inside, plug the hole, and remount the tire. This is the only safe, permanent repair method.
When Replacement is Necessary
We can't repair:
- Sidewall punctures or damage
- Large punctures (over 1/4 inch)
- Multiple punctures in same area
- Tires worn below 2/32" tread depth
- Damage from driving on flat tire
- Separated belts or internal damage
Tire Safety
Never drive on a flat or severely underinflated tire. This causes internal damage that makes the tire unrepairable and unsafe even if it holds air afterward.
Cost
Our tire repairs typically cost $20-$30. Much cheaper than new tires when repair is possible.
