Default Tire leak

I have a 2017 Grand sport with the back tire leaking. Does anybody live in Grand Rapids Michigan that know who I can take the tire too. I know you can't take these cars to just anybody to fix a leak. Thanks for your help

Anybody who can dismount/mount a RF to properly patch/plug is OK. Just plugging is not an acceptable repair (beyond temporary).

Nothing special about the car beyond needing jacking inserts, the understanding of clearances and care to not scratch your rims are needed for your baby.

Extra points if they let you stay with it. That usually means they care, and have nothing to hide.

I say this as someone who has had more punctures/flats on Corvettes than I can even count.
