Central Automotive Service, located on Courtland Avenue East in Kitchener, is dedicated to getting your car safely back on the road. The family owned and operated full-service auto shop, now entering its fourth decade of business, has seen its fair share of flat tires over the years. In addition to automotive repairs, safety inspections and diagnostics, Central Automotive Service is now introducing a new tire repair service.

It’s estimated that a tire puncture occurs once every second, usually the result of a nail or sharp object left on the road. The billion-dollar tire industry sells 170 million tires annually, and that’s in North America alone. If you even suspect there’s a chance your tire is punctured, pull over immediately. The average vehicle weighs at least 1,800 kilograms, and you have a better chance of salvaging the broken tire with a repair if the interior structure hasn’t been weakened by a loss of air pressure.

Repairs can be made on tires with a puncture of less than one quarter of an inch, but keep in mind that only two repairs are permitted per tire. All tire repairs should be completed by an experienced automotive technician. Central Automotive Service offers a new tire repair service on any imported or domestic vehicle, including diesels. All work comes with a complete customer satisfaction guarantee.

For more information on the new tire repair service, visit Central Automotive Service at 453 Courtland Avenue East in Kitchener. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. by appointment only.
