Patching A Tire Puncture

I was out shopping with my father last month when the tire of our car suffered a puncture. He must have driven onto a nail or screw but it was late at night and we didn't notice it. My father thought of driving home and then getting a workman to come to repair it the following morning.

Actually, a tire puncture is a small matter but my father has a heart condition so I told him not to stress himself. Too bad I couldn't help him because I don't even have the strength to jack up the car. It's a Mercedes, a heavy duty car!

Heading home, we passed by a tire shop and we were surprised that it was open on a Sunday night! My father drove in and there as this skinny guy who single-handedly patched up the puncture. I can only say, well, he has the equipment! LOL

I thought that patching up a puncture would be a tough job but he used a Tire Repair Patch and it didn't even take him five minutes to do it. The best part was that we only paid $5! We were very happy because it was just a small price to pay to elevate the hassle of a tire puncture. I remember what a big deal it was previously when something like this happened. I wonder who invented the tire repair patch!
