Is tire repair at a 4S store free?

[LolaAnn]

4S stores charge for tire repairs and the cost is relatively high. You can opt for other auto repair shops for tire repairs at a more reasonable price. Below are three tire repair methods: 1. Plug method: During high summer temperatures, the plug can melt and separate, potentially popping out under high-speed bumps. Additionally, the plug is directly exposed to the external environment and may degrade or deform over time, leading to air leakage. 2. Patch repair method: This method is currently widely used and has a high safety factor. However, the puncture wound on the tire surface remains, and with exposure to rain and mud infiltration, car owners still need to regularly monitor the tire to prevent patch leakage. 3. Mushroom plug repair method: This method offers high safety, reliability, and the longest tire lifespan. It is the most advanced tire repair technique, as it seals the tire wound, preventing erosion from rain and mud, thereby reducing tire wear and prolonging its lifespan.
