I do this for a living (Yes im the guy that patches it from the inside and all those other jobs on your car) but I still sat here and watched the entire thing when I have stuff to do. This guy is just amazing

I think ChrisFix is the only person who is excited when he gets a flat tire

First flat ever I got was on the highway at night. Didn’t know what to do and when I called my dad he just said to “figure it out”. Today, a few years after I found your channel, when I got a tire pressure alert on my dash I didn’t sweat it. Jacked my car and patched the leak up myself all thanks to this video. Something so basic, but made me so proud that I “figured it out”. Seriously Chris, you made me a confident car owner - so thank you for all that you do!

I've been plugging tires this way for 35 years and never had a plug fail. I don't ever get them repaired from the inside. Great video!

Absolutely outstanding. From a technical production aspect, this is simply brilliant. You just CANNOT beat a ChrisFix video.

When we got flat tire = Man”
When ChrisFix got a flat tire = yeah, a new video!”

[titushutton]

Who else doesn’t even have a flat but they just watched this for nothing?

I greatly appreciate the production quality. Clear, well-lit and especially UP CLOSE shoots show the time and effort put into this video. Thank You.

this guy somehow finds a way to promote his soapy wooder in every video 😂

[ayy.brahhh]

*Engine block melts* "hey guys! Chrisfix here!"

[opticvenom]

I love how you turn your flat tire misfortune into a helpful video, If life gives you lemon, you make a video about so everyone else can learn.❤

Always a pleasure to come across a ChrisFix how-to video--kind of "one and done". No endlessly meandering folksy anecdotes, five minute intros with a dog eating a marshmallow or super-sketchy or partial guidance--just a quick firehose shot of solid info.

I work in a tire shop and I'll admit we hate dealing with tires that have fixaflat in them. Since it damages the tires internally and usually voids any kind of road hazard waranty. I highly recommend using Slime because it's TPMS safe and easier to clean out of a tire. Not to mention it doesn't damage a tire.

That being said I appreciate the content you place in your videos. It's lengthy but detailed and spot on. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for not being a monotone bore. Dig your enthusiasm! 🤘🏼🤓

HI, Chris Fix! A Big-Name tire store in our town wanted to charge me $200 to replace a tire with a small hole in it, same size as the one in your video. They said it could not be repaired and HAD to be replaced. They didn't have it in stock and said they'd call around for it. Lucky for me it wasn't in stock as I might have gone for it. Saw your video. Did exactly what you said to do. Tire is repaired, by me, and back on the car tonight. And holding air. Thanks, Chris. Great video, as always, from you!

I have a story related to this tutorial. About 5 years ago I watched every video of Chrisfix and I really liked this one. So I bought a plug kit similar to that shown in video. It was laying in my trunc for a past 5 years and 2 days ago I finally got a flat tire to test it. I was in Spain on holidays and had to ride back home on Sunday and it was in the middle of nowhere, so no tire repair in the area, plus siesta. So I watched this video again and learned how to fix a tire. I draw about 1600 km and it is still there. Thank you Chris to give the advice for buying repair kit and perfect video instructions. It really helped and maybe saved my life❤

One of the absolute BEST videos ever made. CONGRATS!

[leeamraa]

Appreciate the completeness of the instructions and the safety tips at each step. Very professional Chris, thank you!

Small tip in case the tyre is dead flat and the car is old: you might find that 2 bolts break loose easy, yet the other 2 are impossible to do. It means the wheel might have a slight tilt (milimiters) that holds the 2 bolts from loosening.
In that case you need to push the car a few inches, bring the tough bolts in opposite location (e.g. if they were the bottom ones, now the wheel will turn and.they will come up), making it easier to break loose.

I have changed a tyre more than 15 times and this happened to me recently.
I litterally stepped ON the tool, weighing 245lbs and the bolt would still not break loose. After slightly spinning the wheel it was fine.

The thing what I don't understand is who are these 4k people who disliked such a valuable and useful video like this! Chris I watch every video you make. You're one brilliant guy I've ever seen. Keep it up man. Nice work!
