$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.
