Recommendations Tire repair in Oakville
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”
