Repair or Replace? That’s a question Tampa drivers ask when they have tire damage. Some punctures cannot be repaired because of their size or location. Punctures larger than a quarter of an inch (6.4 mm) are considered too large to be safely repaired. Punctures in the sidewall or near the shoulders may not be able to be repaired.

Your friendly and professional Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Tampa (Gunn Hwy) service advisor can inspect your damaged tire and tell you if it can be safely repaired or if it should be replaced - and then help you get back on the roads around Tampa.
