Does Sam’s Club offer free tire repairs?

Repairing your car can be a hassle, especially if you don’t know the current prices for certain repairs.

That’s why so many people online have shared advice on how to protect yourself from car repair scams. For example, one user advised learning about easily repairable things that can break on your car so you don’t have to pay for professional replacement. Another warned drivers about the extra costs women may have to pay when taking their car to a repair shop.

Now a user has sparked a discussion when she revealed that as a Sam’s Club member you can have your tires repaired for free.

Do Sam’s Club members get free tire repairs?

In a video with over 326,000 views, TikTok user Marie (@marieteacheslife) explains how she was able to get her tires repaired for free thanks to her Sam’s Club membership.

“I don’t know if everyone knows this, but if you have a Sam’s Club membership – any kind, the basic membership is perfectly fine – and you have a flat tire or a tire that’s losing air regularly and then you’re driving to the gas station every few days to pump it up, stop doing that. Go to Sam’s and ask them to check it out,” she explains.

She then claimed she had a nail in her tire and took it to Sam’s Club to have it repaired. The store patched the problem area and was able to send her away in about 45 minutes – all without her having to pay a dime.

“So thank you very much, Sam’s,” Marie concludes.

It is true that Sam’s Club offers a variety of auto services to its members, whether they purchased their tires or auto parts from Sam’s Club.

For example, the company’s website states that in addition to repairing flat tires, it also installs wiper blades, balances and rotates tires, inflates and inspects tires, and more – all free for members.

Sam’s Club is not alone

In the comments section, some users indicated that other companies had similar offers.

“Discount Tire does this too,” wrote one user.

“Belle Tire does this for free,” added another.

However, some were simply grateful for the advice.

“I’m so glad you told me this because my tire needs to be patched!” one user exclaimed.

“That’s right! Happened to me and they patched it for free!” echoed another.

The Daily Dot contacted Sam’s Club through its media relations contact form and Marie through a TikTok comment.
