ran over a screw -_-

Hey,
Yesterday night I ran over a screw and now my tire is flat. I put the spare on, but now my question is, How much will it cost me to get it repaired?? I'm only 17 and i dont have too much money on me and my parents aren't home, so i can't ask them for money, so I wanted to know the prices before I go to a tire store and find out that it costs more than what i have.
Thx in advance

-Axel

For taking the tire off, patching, re-installing, and then re-balancing ... around $10-$20 depending on garage, I think. Don't take it to dealer... they charge by the hour and you'll end up paying $30-40.

patching should be around 10-15.

wonderz is on a distinguished road
Costco repairs flat tires for members. As long as the tire is not unevenly worth due to bad alignment/camber.
Gas Station charges around 20-30 bucks to patch.

Alot of small shops will do a plug for $5 to $10. I got a good one about a month ago. When I was driving down the road, I ran over a Walmart price hook( the ones that the little toy cars get hung on). Put a big ****in gouge in the road and sliced up my tire. No plug would have fixed that.

... free flat repair only if you bought the tires at Costco. For non-Costco tires, it's $5-6 ... at least where I am.
