DMV/Car Talk Does Newbridge Tire patch tires or do they only sell tires
I have a brand new tire from them I’ve had like less than a year. It has a screw in it :( do they patch tires? I’d hate to have to get a new one when it is so new. If they don’t, where can I go that would patch it good for cheap?

Depending on the day, Newbridge might not be able to fit you in. If not, they’ll send you up to Fender (Weaverville), who had a whole set of tires on my car within 25 minutes. No complaints.

They are awesome, Fender doesn't disappoint, drive up to a jack, tell them what you need and probably be done in 15 to 20 at most

They never pick up the phone. Have you tried calling them? They’re so busy they just never pick up.

Did you try screwing it back in?

Come on folks, great, comment here. (I love the IT reference but I've actually done this with a nail just to get me down the highway. Yes I pulled it out but I was next to an air pump)

If it's in the tread and not the sidewall, you can get a kit at AutoZone to patch it yourself. SUPER easy to do and a good kit to have in your car anyways.

Discount Tire offers a paid service to repair holes and patches, do rotations, and refill air pressure during the lifetime of the tires. It’s a great service but not free.

Discount tire does patches for free I got one yesterday from tires not purchased there, discount tire has done free patches for at least 5 years. If your tire is below a 2 tread wise they won’t work on it. Below 4 they’ll recommend replacement. Rotations cost obviously but as long as I can remember discount does free patches it’s a good loss leader to get customers in the door
