remat457 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 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?

1990LS400 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 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"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex2670 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had rims damaged from both Discount Tire and Firestone, I will never go to either again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remat457 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Share Posted January 8, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
