Default Patch Tires in the 626?!

Does anyone know of a place or can recommend a place in the 626 San Gabriel area that still patches tires? I've asked two places and they no longer do it because of the "liability" involved. Thanks!!!

trying to find a place little closer to San Gabriel, I will still go to my normal tire shop to unmount/mount because i only trust them with my wheels and tpms. so i wanna stay kinda close so i can just get them patched and head back

Nope, they only sell new, and dont patch due to liabilities with patching. This is pretty common now with tire shops especially if they have a lot to lose.

Discount Tire/America's tire in your area won't patch the tire?? They usually do, and free as well.

Some places don't patch but plug the tires. MR Tire Solutions in City of Industry does tire plugging. Did a great job on mine and is holding up well.

+1 on this. any america's tire will patch your tire for FREE. the only time tire shops turn me down on a tire patch is when the puncture is too close or is on the sidewall. if you bring it to a dirty enough tire shop though, they'll give you an 18-wheeler patch for your sidewall puncture

+1 as long as the thread is okay and as long as nail or screw isn't near sidewall they will patch it up.
