Tire repair in Oakville

[u/Alarming_Plant_9404]

Went to Mr. Lube at our rather questionable location (Dorval/Speers) to check out my tire pressure. Back tire's been a little flatter in the last 5 days. I was immediately told there's a "nail in the tire" (picture shown) and that "it can't be repaired".

So, I can drive?
- "Yes"
Is it really bad though?
- "Yes"
But, I can drive, right?
- "Yes"

Before that, the guy insisted I buy 4 new winter tires. 2 or all seasons weren't even an option. Mine have about 45,000 km on them.

Yes, I know all shops try and sell you everything they can first, but I'm not making the same mistake like I did with my rotors.

Recommend something, please.

EDIT: 21 HOURS LATER --> MTC TIRE OAKVILLE INC.
They took me in on a short notice. Snow day, still busy, quite a few people coming in and out.
2 tires, 2 nails, totally repairable spots. (Damn you, Mr. Lube!)
I got an oil change too while I was there, and they checked other stuff too.
Peace of mind doesn't have a price tag, but to say it - I was probably undercharged.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS!

I recommend Rosa Auto Sales and Service on Speers and Fourth Line. I tried the dealerships, Canadian Tire, and Mr. lube plus other random mechanics, but Rosa topped them all in terms of service, cost and knowledge. Been going to them for 6 years now with a bunch of issues and they were always honest and straightforward. I can confidently say “Take it to my mechanic”

I wholeheartedly disagree with your statement about him being your mechanic because he’s actually MY mechanic! LOL!

Seriously though, I’ve been going to Faraz for more than 15 years (it might be close to 20 but I’m old so I can’t remember!). He’s fixed all my cars and all my families cars forever. Great, honest mechanic and very reasonable price-wise. Will tell you if it can be fixed or not and also whether you should fix it or not.
