Daughter's car had a nail in the tread of the tire. Local shop wanted $42 to patch the tire. WTH!

In Kingsland GA a local shop gave me an estimate to patch a nail hole in my daughter's Honda Element front tire. The lady told me $42 and I laughed and said "what did you just say?" $42 dollars but the patch is a lifetime patch. I looked at the woman and told her they are all lifetime patches and walked out. WTF! Bunch of crooks.

We went to a different shop and were charged $20 for the same lifetime patch. I was told the shop that wanted $42 will vacuum your car and leave a rose on your dash after ****ing you.

it's labor costs. I wouldn't patch your tire for less than that

Ya know…a $5 plug kit would have prevented this post. Something every man should have in his trunk.

Inflation caused by out of control government spending. Democrats are most to blame but the Republicans always end up voting for all the spending too.

That's what I use most of the time. Saves all the way around. Time and money. Unless it's in the side of the tire

I’d charge you $100 but I would need to take it to the tire shop and pay them. Then the remainder goes to me for my troubles.

I do plumbing and HVAC too

I think it is $10 at Sams Club for any tire and free if you bought tires and the warranty at Sams
