Cost to patch runflat

Just had a Supercar tire with a nail in it fixed by the local Goodyear dealer. He charged $50 plus tax. Is this about right?

A little much if you ask me.I can't remember what I paid when mine caught a nail and I didn't know about the tire warranty that would've replaced it for free,but I think it was like 20 bucks maybe.Hell,it's just a patch.

Discount Tire charges me $40 every time they do a repair ( I have had several) but if you turn in the receipts at your next tires purchase they will discount the amount from your total.

$18 and GY sent me a check to cover it. It was still under warranty.

Here Discount Tire does repairs for free. The last time I had to pay for a patch somewhere else, it was $10.

My local shop charged me $17.50 for about 1/2 hours work. It seems that they don't do many run flats so there's a bit of a learning curve.

Same situation, nail in the tire. I was charged $60.00 plus tax at the local Goodyear shop. Two weeks later it started to leak again. Just decided to grab a set of BFGs.

NO! It should have cost less that $20.

I don't know what it is with Goodyear but they seem to have third rate service tech's and over charge like no other tire company I've ever done business with in dealing with tires.

I just had one repaired last week at the local Goodyear dealer and was charged $28 and change. I was concerned about damage to my chrome rim, but none was noted. They use a tire changer that does not touch the rim with anything metal. Tire was unmounted, patched, remounted and balanced.

OK fellas.
We don't take our Goodyear tires to Goodyear for repairs, Man Law! LOL When I wanted to swap my wheels from stock to after market(same tires, t.p.s.'), Goodyear's quote was double that of Discount Tire! Guess where I had them done?
