Hi. Everyone:



I had a flat tire on my rear passenger side. It is a slow leak. I found out while I was traveling yesterday evening. I pumped it up to 42 psi at a gas station and continued the rest of the journey (90 miles) with speed around 55 mph. I got home safely and the tire still read 38 psi. This morning the tire only has 6 psi. Now I have set the right rear on the stand to eliminate the load on the tire. Now my questions:


1. Does the Chevy dealer covers the fixing of tire for free? I have 5 yrs/100k mile road assistance.

2. If the dealer does not cover the tire fixing. Could I find an independent garage to fix my tire? I did not put sealant in the tire. However, I am concerned about tire pressure monitoring system and I do not want it be damaged.



Thanks for your help.

Hi. Everyone:



Thanks for the replies. Today I got the tire 'fixed' at the dealer with no charge. I took the tire and drove my wife's car to the dealer. It took them 6 hours to 'fix' it. However, when I got home and installed the tire, to my surprise, I found out that the guy only plugged my tire. If I had known the tire could be fixed like that, I would have done this myself. By the way, my puncture is less than one centimeter from the center of the tire.


My question is: will this fix good enough to hold the hole. I remember that the normal fixing requires to take the tire off the rim and patch inside of the tire with glue.


Again, thanks for your help.
