Tire Repair in Philly Area - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Ahoy..

Does anyone know anyone in the Philadelphia area that does tire sidewall repair? I have a small cut in the sidewall of a 42/15-17 Pitbull Rocker Bias that needs repaired.

So far I've called two commercial tire places and they can get it repaired but they need to send it out and it takes around 2-3weeks.

Anyone have any other places? Thanks.

That's funny, considering I've been there where they repair them. It's at their retread plant in Sellersville (5 minutes from Qtown).

Ahhh. Ok. I called their truck shop in Conchie.... Who told me to call the Hatfield office. Called the Hatfield main tire center and thats what they told me.

Ill give that shop a call tomorrow. See if they give me a different answer. Thanks!

yeah, bergeys sends them out but they send them to their own retread shop in sellersville as dan said. bergeys can be strange to deal with so i am not surprised they gave you the run around a bit. its sort of like they don't know what they do and what services they offer.

it does take a few days usually though

Best thing is to just take it there. If it's within 3" of the bead, they will not do it. Been there, done that. It won't be done while you wait.

I dont remember any more.

I ended up buying some supplies from patchrubber.com and did it myself.

I had a guy Bernie repair my sidewalls, and he did them while I waited in his garage. He is located in Phillipsburg, NJ. Not that far from Philly. He can be reached at 908-319-5485
