Need suggestions on where to patch/repair your tire
I've been doing some shopping around the city. It seems like the going price for patching a tire is around $30 to $40 dollars.
Asked honda dealership, they also said they charge 36 bucks for the patching and another 40 bucks to replace the sealant kit.
I have a 2009 Fit sport. Just wondering where do you guys bring your FIT if your tire got puntured by a nail.
Also i am thinking of getting a spare tire instead of replacing the sealant kit. What's your advise? May be a used tire?
Thanks

You are probably talking about a plug. In order to do a patch you have to dismount the tire, grind/clean the inside where the damage is, apply the patch or plug-patch, remount the tire, rebalance the tire.... not exactly something you can do yourself.

For some unexplainable reason, I had two punctures on my Honda Element SC. Took it to Volco on Bridgeport to have the tire fixed. No problems with the repair. I don't remember what they charged, but it was cheaper than the steallership. Phone them for a quote.

NO they don't. I wish they do. To meet the EPA standard and to qualify for the $1000 eco rebate, Honda has to take out the spare to make the extra fuel economy. All they give you for the GEs is a sealant kit which costs 40 bucks to replace at Honda dealership.

I thought the manual has a spare but the auto has the repair kit. I could be mistaken.
There's a shop in Vancouver around the corner of Hastings and Commercial i think. They specialize in tires and the owner is an Asian fellow.
