Hi guys. I have a nail stuck in my tire and need to get it patched. We all know the horror stories of shops scratching rims when they remount the tires. The tire guy I use to use no longer works for Discount Tire. Anyone know a good shop who won't scratch my rim? I'm willing to pay.

Thanks,

Val

 

That sucks. Sorry I can't help ya. Haven't used any wheel/tire shops yet.

 

Nvm didn't know you were from Houston.

 

Try the Tire & Wheel Connection. 11330 Fm 1960 Rd W 281-890-8473

 

Thanks for the info. Have you used them before?

 

To be honest, personally I haven't, but I have friends who swear by them. I plan to use them first time I need to, my rims and tires are pretty new. I have bought some great wheel cleaner from them. If you use them, let me know what you think.

 

the one I used before left me a "gift" all the time... ( DT on 45N close to airtex, DT on richmond (around to fondren) )

the one on richmond at least use the torque wrench... before destroying the studs with the impact gun.

 

The discount on 1960 just west of kuykendahl.

 

D@mn VO,
GL on taking care of this issue....I'd hate for them to scratch that pretty wheel of yours.

 

DIY...hehe

 

That's the place I use to go to. This guy named Mike was my tire guy. He did a fabulous job, but has since quit...

 

Which shop was it Matteo? I'll remember not to go there...

 

On the real though, SAAB's over there on highway 59 and bissonet took damn good care of my rims. I don't know if they plug tires or not, but it doesn't hurt to ask......

 

the one on 45N to airtex... they used the torque wrench after the impact gun and went close to strip a couple of studs and I found some dings on the wheels... (being the track wheels I don't give a damn, but they where brand new at that time)

the one close to fondren and richmond is better... they open a new one on westheimer and fondren (pretty much there) and "looks" decent (I have to stop there to quote my track tires)


with your wheels... I understand your pain. cheap wheel lmgt4 FTMFW

 

awesomest street name ever. "Kirkendoll"

 

Not a bad choice. I know where it's at. Imma give them a call to see...

 

DT off 45 and Airtex is horrible. Stay far away from that place, they destroy all aftermarket wheels! There is a place just off 1960 and Stuebner that is known to be top knotch. I can't remember the name of the shop, but you can see it right on the corner.

 

val i use the discount tire in kemah they havent screwed anything yet my buddy is the manager there i just pay him on the DL

 

Whoo, that's a nice little drive there. Imma check out that place on 1960 and Stubner. If I like it, I,ll take my wheel there next week.

Keep the suggestions coming fellas. I appreciate it...

 

I found the place. It's 1 block north of 1960 on Stubner Airline. It's called Duron Tires. They said, "No problem. We fix tires on all customs rims, without leaving a scratch."

I'm returning next Saturday. Thanks again guys!
