Default Re: Leaky Tire

"1. Do not take the tire to a professional garage. With Model As there are very few professionals, most have all passed away. The old timers and we the owners are the professionals now keeping these cars on the road. Garages will be just great removing the paint around your rims."

I second that. Modern shops know how to work on modern cars. 90-yr-old painted spoked wheels are not their bag. In fact, I would expand that and say don’t take your Model A to any modern mechanical or electric work shop either. These cars require service from and by people who know Model A’s.
