Flat tire with no spare

If the puncture is in the tread, we can usually plug and patch the tire right where the car is, no spare needed. If it's shredded, cut on the side or off the rim, it needs a new tire, and a bent wheel may mean a tow, which we don't offer.

Questions

01Why don't new cars come with a spare tire?

Many makers swap the spare for an inflator kit or run-flat tires to save weight and space. Check under the trunk floor first; some cars still keep a compact spare there.

02If I use the sealant kit, can the tire still be repaired?

Often, but the sealant can make a proper repair harder. Tell whoever works on the tire that sealant is inside so they can plan for it.
