What’s included

A loss of pressure does not automatically mean you need a new tire. A technician needs to inspect the tire and the location and extent of the damage to determine whether repair is appropriate. Damage to a sidewall and damage from driving on a flat tire can prevent a repair.

Locate the leak
Explain how quickly pressure drops and whether you have noticed a puncture or valve issue.
Assess repairability
The technician checks the damage and tire condition before confirming that repair is appropriate.
Review your options
If repair is not appropriate, compare replacements compatible with the vehicle and its other tires.

How it works

A nail, slow leak or low-pressure warning calls for a tire inspection. The location and size of damage, the tire’s internal condition and whether it was driven flat determine the available options. A temporary fix is not a substitute for checking the tire.

Step 1: Find the leak
The tire is checked for the puncture, a leaking valve or a leak at the bead.
Step 2: Check it inside and out
The technician checks the damage and the tire’s condition, inside and out, before confirming it can be safely repaired.
Step 3: Repaired free when it’s safe
When the tire can be safely repaired, the repair is free. If it can’t, you compare replacements before anything is done.
Step 4: Back on your vehicle
The tire goes back on its wheel and the wheel back on your vehicle, at the recommended pressure.

Your questions, answered

Still have a question? Call Anaheim: (714) 831-2188

Can every nail puncture be repaired?

No. The location, size and condition of the damage matter, as does the tire’s internal condition. The shop must inspect it before confirming a repair.

Can you guarantee a repair online?

No. A photo or description cannot replace an inspection. If replacement is needed, your advisor can help match the tire and explain the available options.

How much does flat repair cost?

It depends on your vehicle and what it needs, so your store quotes it after looking at the vehicle and before any work is done.

How long does flat repair take?

Plan on about 30 min in the bay. Your advisor tells you before starting if your vehicle needs longer, for example when parts must be ordered.

Do I pay when I book?

No. Booking online is free and there is no payment today. You pay at Anaheim after the work is done.

Can I wait while it’s done?

Yes. When you book, choose whether you’ll wait or drop off your vehicle, and your store plans the visit around it.

Can I combine this with another service?

Yes. You can choose several services when you book. Your store reviews the work you chose, available parts and time needed before confirming.
