Car Care Tips

Alberta Tire Repair

Tuesday 2nd of April 2024

 

Most Alberta residents have experienced a flat tire. You know it's inconvenient and a pain. Our tires are important. Keeping them in good working order isn't just a big safety issue for Alberta drivers – it also has a financial impact. With high Calgary gas prices, we've all heard about the importance of keeping proper tire pressure to save on gas. In addition, proper inflation promotes even tread wear so your tires last longer. 

There's another danger with under-inflated tires for Alberta residents. Low tire pressure puts added stress on the structure of the tire itself, causing it to break down prematurely. Also, under-inflated tires generate more heat which also reduces tire life. So get those slow leaks fixed quickly – don't just keep adding air every few days. You want to avoid tire damage.

Alberta residents should only hire qualified tire professionals to perform repairs - we have a whole team of them at Lube Town. Alberta folks can buy self-repair kits, but we advise you to save those for emergencies, like when you're off-roading and need a quick fix so you can hobble back to civilization and get professional help. If you need to use a repair-in-a-can product, remember it's a temporary measure only and your tire needs to be properly repaired as soon as possible.

Give us a call, or visit us at our Lube Town website.

For service on demand, simply drive right up to any of our service bays.
