Tire Keeps Losing Pressure

[remat457]

Ok, so one of my tires is consistently losing pressure. Probably went over something :(

Is it ok to take it to somewhere like Les Schwab/Discount Tire for checking/patching or is it something that I am going to want to take to the dealer?

I've had so much minor damage done to nice wheels over the years that the only places I trust my Lexus wheels to are a local high end specialty wheel shop and the Lexus dealer. Is there someone you know and trust at "Schwab/Discount Tire"?

Don't drive on it too much before you get it fixed. Running low pressure with a nail or something in it can ruin the tire. Maybe put the donut spare on till you can get it fixed.

I would tend to trust a tire shop, considering that's what the do all day long. I will say, though, when I blew a tire last year, the dealer had the cheapest price for the replacement--plus a free Lexus loaner!

I've had rims damaged from both Discount Tire and Firestone, I will never go to either again.

Thanks for the advice guys. Unfortunately, it got pretty low and I was far from the dealer so I stopped at a local Schwab. They patched it but warned it may not hold. Boo.

Hopefully it will for the time being.
