Default need a good place to patch my tires in sf

Hey guys,

can anyone recommend a good place to get my tires patched in the city? I just got a screw in it and wheel works trying to rip me off saying it's unfixable & wanted to try to charge me $375 for one Potenza RE050's. I've had a similiar nail/screw on my 19's low profiles on my previous car in the same spot on the tire and good year in sj was able to fix it fine. I only have 6k miles on the tires and seriously can't afford to spend another 250-300 for one tire after xmas. Thanks for the suggestions.

- David

I used Mach III/Faxon Garage the last time I needed my tire fixed. They plugged my tire in under fifteen minutes for $15. PM bjeong1381.

If the puncture is anywhere near the sidewall, or on the tread of the sidewall, nut it up and buy a new tire. A tire on your CC is not going to kill you. That is a liability and a half just waiting... not only for you, but for the place that does the repair.
