They charged you 20 bucks to PLUG a tire?

Nice gross on that one I bet..

Unless they patched it...then I get the $20.00 charge.

Had a nail about a month after getting the car. Costco would not patch it because they said they were not certified for the tire pressure sensor. Discount Tire patched it from the inside for $20. It has been holding fine for the past year or so.

The "ol side of the road" patch will cost far more down the road plus the tire will be dangerous in that condition.
that costs like $60 at ntb
