If you already have Walmart + that is one thing, but I don't think anyone is going to buy it just because you get a free tire repair. If your tire breaks down, most people are not going to drive 50 miles to the nearest Walmart Tire Center just to get the tire fixed.

The free flat tire repair states "you can bring in an eligible flat tire & get it repaired, regardless of where the tire was purchased from." The road hazard warranty, yes, requires tire & installation from Walmart.

Link doesn't work on mobile app or web. I can't find proof of any of this anywhere. Specifically the road hazard. Edit. I was clicking on the direct link. Clicking the picture did the trick

Value Installation: $28 per tire Tire Mounting Basic Installation: $18 per tire Tire Mounting Edit. Received receipt and at very bottom it shows. "Expert tire installation: Pay at the store. Sorry I wasted everyones time with this comment but wanted to double check lol

So I don't trust fully walmart auto care, but I have brought in just the wheel and tire for a patch and they do remove it off the rim and patch it from the inside and do a decent job. I went to an actual tire store and they did the repair kit like you buy off the shelf which is not meant to be permanent.

A few years ago I paid Walmart to Mount and balance my new tires. Right after I went to a tire plus to get my alignment and was later asked if I also wanted to balance my tires too since they were new. I told them I had it done at Walmart and they said that the balance was never done since there was only old weights on there with no new ones. I called Walmart service manager and he was like no way, but when I told him I was at tires plus and what they said to me He gave me a full refund right away. That was the last time I went to Walmart for any tire service. Just my 2 cent, but others may have better experiences.

And where do you live that the closest Walmart is like 50 miles away pretty sure they'd really like to know cause they'll build another few dozen in that area. I live out in the country in E.Texas and the farthest I'd have to drive is 18 miles. If I go down to like Plano/McKinney/Allen they are almost like gas stations on every other corner

Ain't no better at Discount I had a flat once and asked after they repaired the tire and was being installed I would like to have the rims hand torqued well the guys got a 4way and started I asked him what he was doing you had already tightened the lug nuts with the impact he replied he was hand torquing them like it said on the repair order I said don't move just stay where you are went inside got the manager asked him to come outside and ask his employee what he was doing he did and asked me to follow him back inside and promptly refunded me everything and then went back outside got another man to finish my car.

if you have an American Tire near you , they repair flats for free, no catch, regardless of where you bought them and no pre conditions. Have gotten multiple flats repaired over 20 years.

For those curious about Walmart's tire offerings, they have a wide variety of brands and price ranges. While they carry some budget-friendly Chinese tire options (which I wouldn't typically recommend due to their low cost), they are still safer than driving on severely worn tires. Walmart frequently hosts promotions and clearance sales, especially at the beginning or end of the year, making it possible to snag great deals. Additionally, brands like Milestar, a Taiwanese brand with a US factory, offer well-made tires at more affordable prices. In terms of service, my experiences with Walmart have been reasonably satisfactory. However, one significant issue to keep in mind is their severe understaffing, a consequence of Walmart's cost-cutting measures. During a previous tire purchase, despite making a reservation and ordering online, it took around 2.5 hours. Another time, for an oil change, tire rotation, and balance, the wait extended to 3 hours. While Walmart is often more cost-effective than other options, you may need to find the morning time to save the waiting, or to make a reservation..etc, so for urgent service like tire flattening, you may be out of luck depends on the timing and location.

\n \n \n Quote\n from Emcaxepa\n \n \n \n \n :\n \n A few years ago I paid Walmart to Mount and balance my new tires. Right after I went to a tire plus to get my alignment and was later asked if I also wanted to balance my tires too since they were new. I told them I had it done at Walmart and they said that the balance was never done since there was only old weights on there with no new ones. I called Walmart service manager and he was like no way, but when I told him I was at tires plus and what they said to me He gave me a full refund right away. That was the last time I went to Walmart for any tire service. Just my 2 cent, but others may have better experiences.\n | \n

\nAin't no better at Discount I had a flat once and asked after they repaired the tire and was being installed I would like to have the rims hand torqued well the guys got a 4way and started I asked him what he was doing you had already tightened the lug nuts with the impact he replied he was hand torquing them like it said on the repair order I said don't move just stay where you are went inside got the manager asked him to come outside and ask his employee what he was doing he did and asked me to follow him back inside and promptly refunded me everything and then went back outside got another man to finish my car.","hideTimestamp":false,"timestampFormatted":"10-29-2023 at 07:51 AM.","permalink":"/f/17015593-walmart-members-auto-care-benefits-free-flat-tire-repair-more?p=166653703#post166653703","postId":166653703},"commentSectionCommentFooter":[],"commentIsHelpful":null,"commentGiveRepPopover":{"username":"Sabretooth01","userAvatar":"/images/avatar/sd/redesign/Star.png","headline":"Say Thanks & Give Rep!","subtext":"","authorText":"Sabretooth01 posted this comment.

While they carry some budget-friendly Chinese tire options (which I wouldn't typically recommend due to their low cost), they are still safer than driving on severely worn tires. Walmart frequently hosts promotions and clearance sales, especially at the beginning or end of the year, making it possible to snag great deals. Additionally, brands like Milestar, a Taiwanese brand with a US factory, offer well-made tires at more affordable prices.
\n
\nIn terms of service, my experiences with Walmart have been reasonably satisfactory. However, one significant issue to keep in mind is their severe understaffing, a consequence of Walmart's cost-cutting measures. During a previous tire purchase, despite making a reservation and ordering online, it took around 2.5 hours. Another time, for an oil change, tire rotation, and balance, the wait extended to 3 hours. While Walmart is often more cost-effective than other options, you may need to find the morning time to save the waiting, or to make a reservation..etc, so for urgent service like tire flattening, you may be out of luck depends on the timing and location.","hideTimestamp":false,"timestampFormatted":"10-29-2023 at 09:41 PM.","permalink":"/f/17015593-walmart-members-auto-care-benefits-free-flat-tire-repair-more?p=166664782#post166664782","postId":166664782},"commentSectionCommentFooter":[],"commentIsHelpful":null,"commentGiveRepPopover":{"username":"SmartHill5061","userAvatar":"/images/avatar-150.png","headline":"Say Thanks & Give Rep!","subtext":"","authorText":"SmartHill5061 posted this comment.
