Feeling a slow leak from a screw in the tread? Bring the car in — most flat repairs at our New Britain shop are done in 20–30 minutes.

Punctures too close to the sidewall, large tears, and any sidewall damage need a replacement — we’ll tell you honestly which case applies to yours. **Our 30-Day Tire Price Guarantee** still applies if a replacement is needed. ### Wheel Alignment on Our Hunter Rack Feeling a pull? Seeing uneven wear on your tires? A precision alignment on our Hunter rack corrects **camber, caster, and toe** to factory spec.

Berlin FAQ ## Tire Repair FAQs ### Can any flat tire be repaired? expand\_more Not every one. Punctures in the tread within 1/4 inch of the shoulder or larger than 1/4 inch typically cannot be safely repaired. Sidewall damage always means replacement. We inspect first and give you an honest call. ### How often should I rotate my tires? expand\_more Every 5,000–7,500 miles, or every other oil change. Regular rotation evens out wear across all four positions and can meaningfully extend tire life. It's free with every installation you buy from us. ### Do I need an alignment when I get new tires? expand\_more It's a smart idea if it's been a year, if you feel a pull, or if your old tires wore unevenly. An alignment protects your investment in new tires by preventing early wear. ### How long does a wheel alignment take? expand\_more Typically 45–60 minutes on our Hunter rack. We measure camber, caster, and toe on all four wheels and adjust to factory spec. ### Do you service TPMS sensors? expand\_more Yes. We service, reset, and can replace TPMS sensors as needed. Every tire service we do includes TPMS attention so your dashboard warning stays off. Still have questions?
