What tire repair costs in Dallas

Dallas is the rare metro where the prices are public. The Tire Rack recommended-installer directory for ZIP 75206 publishes an itemised rate card for all twenty installers it lists, three of which are mobile. So instead of asking you to trust a number, this page shows you the local ones and how a Texas tire bill is built.

One thing the public cards do not contain: a puncture repair price. Of the Dallas mobile providers whose prices could be read on 2026-09-20, none publishes one. Zohr comes closest and lists "Flat Tire Diagnosis" at $0.00, which prices being told what is wrong rather than having it fixed.

What a mobile repair price has to cover

Travelling to where the car is parked, taking the wheel off, demounting the tire, inspecting the inner liner, fitting a plug and a patch, remounting, rebalancing that wheel, resetting the TPMS where the vehicle supports it at the roadside, and setting the pressure to the door placard. With us there is no separate call-out fee on top of that. Ask anyone else directly, because in Dallas the travel charge is a published, separate line.

Press any quote on the inspection too. Under the US Tire Manufacturers Association standard the inspection is the repair: tread area only, nothing wider than a quarter of an inch, tire off the wheel, plug and patch together. A price that excludes it is not a repair price.

The Texas fee that does not exist

This is the part of a Texas invoice that is easiest to misread, and it is worth a minute.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality states it under the heading Tire Management Fees: "The state does not mandate or require a fee for the collection, transportation, and disposal of scrap tires. Generators may charge customers for scrap tire disposal, or may include the cost in the price of the tires. Fees for tire removal are negotiated between generators and transporters."

There is no state scrap-tire fee in Texas. So every recycling or disposal line you are shown here is a commercial charge that the business chose, not a tax it is passing through. The published Dallas ones, all read 2026-09-20:

Provider	Published disposal or recycling line
Discount Tire (Dallas stores)	$4.00 a tire
Supreme Mobile Tire	$5.00 a tire
Via Mobile Tire	$5.50 a tire
Zohr	$7.50 a tire

Same state, same non-existent statutory fee, a spread of $3.50 a tire between the top and the bottom of the published set. On a four-tire job that is $14. Ask what the line is for; the honest answer is that it is priced, not levied.

What Texas does tax, and what it does not

Two things to check on any Dallas invoice.

Labour on a tire is not taxable. Comptroller publication 94-113, Motor Vehicle Repairs, Remodels and Maintenance: "There is no sales tax on the labor to repair to a motor vehicle. For example, the labor to repair or replace a tire, battery, muffler or shock absorber is not subject to sales tax." Parts are taxable. Which invoice form a business uses decides the mechanics: under a separated invoice the parts carry the tax and "the repair labor is not taxable", while under a lump-sum invoice the repairer "should not collect sales tax from the customer, but instead must pay sales tax to the supplier when buying parts". A fixed all-in price is a lump-sum contract, and the tax is already inside it.

The rate tops out at 8.25 percent, and Dallas is there. The Comptroller: "Texas imposes a 6.25 percent state sales and use tax... Local taxing jurisdictions... can also impose up to 2 percent sales and use tax for a maximum combined rate of 8.25 percent."

You can watch both rules working in a live Dallas cart. Zohr's checkout for ZIP 75206 on 2026-09-20, with four tires at $125 each, showed $500 of tires and $298 of services and fees, and charged SALES TAXES of $41.25. That is 8.25 percent of the $500 of tires and nothing at all on the $298 of service. The tax line on a Texas tire job is a tire tax, not a job tax.

The published Dallas numbers for a set of four

Repair is the cheaper answer by a wide margin, but the replacement figures are the ones you are really comparing against, so here they are as published on 2026-09-20.

Job, as published	Pre-tax total
Firestone Complete Auto Care, fixed shop, fitting only: $23.00 a tire and $5.00 disposal a tire	$112.00
Via Mobile Tire, mobile, customer-supplied 60+ series: $50.00 a tire, $50.00 visit, $5.50 disposal a tire	$272.00
Zohr, mobile, tires bought from Zohr: $49.75 a tire, $7.50 recycling a tire, $69.00 mobile service fee	$298.00
Zohr, mobile, customer-supplied: $65.00 a tire, $69.00 mobile service fee, $7.50 recycling a tire	$359.00
Supreme Mobile Tire, mobile, comparable pre-tax amount for the same job once the required TPMS line the display omitted is added	$365.00

Three things in that table are worth saying out loud.

Bringing your own tires costs more, and Zohr publishes both halves. $65.00 a tire customer-supplied against $49.75 a tire inside a Zohr tire purchase. Same van, same work, $61 apart across four tires. We do not fit customer-supplied tires at all, so the question does not arise with us; the reason we sell the tires we fit is exactly this, that one business should answer for both the tire and the work.

The advertised set price and the cart do not agree. Zohr's tire listing pages advertise a "Set of 4 installed" price that adds a flat $278.00 over four times the tire price, checked across ten tires in two sizes on 2026-09-20. The itemised cart for four tires adds $298.00. The advertised figure is $20 below what the cart builds, and we could not find the $20 in any published line. We are reporting the discrepancy, not explaining it.

Supreme's own card carries two warnings. Tire Rack prints them verbatim: "Tire Rack quotes do not include TPMS relearn fees which vary by vehicle" and "Additional charges may apply for installs outside a 20 mile service radius from our base."

And one national name that does not apply here at all: Discount Tire's mobile installation publishes "AS LOW AS $50 Extra", which its own page says is "in addition to the regular Installation & Life of Tire Maintenance fee in cart", but no store inside the City of Dallas appears on its published participating list, and it states "We don't offer mobile tire repair at this time."

Our price: $145

A mobile puncture repair on one tire is $145. That is the price, not an estimate and not a starting figure. It covers getting to you, the wheel off, the tire demounted and inspected from the inside, a plug and patch fitted the way the tire industry requires, remounting, rebalancing, a TPMS reset where the vehicle supports it, and the wheel back on. If the damage turns out not to be repairable, we tell you on the spot and you are not charged for the repair.

No call-out line, no disposal line, no relearn line added afterwards. Compare that with the three published Dallas per-visit fees: $50.00 at Via Mobile Tire, $69.00 at Zohr, $75.00 at Supreme Mobile Tire.

The question that actually decides the bill

A repair costs a fraction of a tire, so the real question is whether you are buying one anyway. Where a state sets a tread number, that answers it. Texas does not have one: Section 547.612 sets no tread depth for a passenger car and non-commercial vehicles have had no safety inspection since 1 January 2025. So the useful number here is the tire's age, which is why we read the DOT date code at every visit and tell you what it says.

Repair or replace a tire covers the call, what mobile tire replacement costs covers the alternative, find your tire size covers what you would be buying, and why we will not fit used tires covers the cheapest option we decline.

For the providers named above: how we compare with Zohr and with Discount Tire's mobile installation have more of their published figures, and who is actually open in Dallas has their published hours. Mobile tire repair in Dallas covers the visit, flat tire repair in Dallas covers the urgent case, and our Dallas service area covers where we come.

Questions people ask

• What is the recycling fee on my Dallas invoice? Whatever the business decided. TCEQ states that Texas "does not mandate or require a fee for the collection, transportation, and disposal of scrap tires". Published Dallas lines on 2026-09-20 ran from $4.00 a tire at Discount Tire to $7.50 at Zohr.
• Should I be charged sales tax on the labour? No. Comptroller publication 94-113: "There is no sales tax on the labor to repair to a motor vehicle... the labor to repair or replace a tire... is not subject to sales tax." Parts are taxable, and Dallas is at the 8.25 percent maximum combined rate.
• Is there a call-out fee? Not with us. All three mobile installers in the Tire Rack Dallas directory publish one: $50.00, $69.00 and $75.00 a visit, read 2026-09-20.
• Why does bringing my own tires cost more elsewhere? Ask them; we only know what they publish. Zohr's Dallas menu charges $65.00 a tire for a customer-supplied fitting against $49.75 inside a tire purchase, which is $61 across a set of four. We do not fit customer-supplied tires at all.
• Do I pay if the tire cannot be repaired? Yes, for the inspection, because establishing it means travelling to the car, removing the wheel and taking the tire off the rim. The repair is not charged if it was not done.
• Is a repair always cheaper than a new tire? In cash, by a wide margin. Whether it is the right spend depends on the tread and the age of the tire, and we give you both numbers at the visit.
