Typically the Walmart Auto Center (Tire & Lube) will be pretty busy so you might have to wait multiple hours to get your tire repaired while a business that exclusively handles tires will often be considerably faster.īefore you go to get Walmart tire services you will want to make sure that your car tires can actually be repaired. One thing to consider when getting your tire repaired at a Walmart store is how long you will have to wait. You can often get tire repairs done faster at a designated auto repair shop and many tire retailers will do puncture repair for free which is a much better deal than spending $15 and 1-5 hours of your time waiting at Walmart (of course they will often try and get you to get rid of your old tires and upgrade to new ones as well which is how they make their money). Walmart does have many different services but they aren’t always the best choice for all of your automotive needs.
There is also normally a long line to do them as tire repairs are often put in line behind all of the other work the mechanics are doing. Walmart does repair/fix tires with holes in them but it will currently cost you $15 (depending on your location). Rather than getting new tires instead you can get your old tire plugged/fixed (assuming the hole isn’t in the sidewall or close to it) but does the Walmart Tire Center plug/ fix tires?
If you have a tire that is losing air you will definitely want to get it fixed as soon as possible as there is nothing more annoying than having a flat tire at the wrong time. There is nothing that car owners hate more than to be stuck on the side of the road so when your tire pressure starts to drop it’s always a good idea to stop and figure out how to repair it yourself (using tire patches) or to take it to one of the many tire repair services.
