Cadillac CTS-V - Left Rear "Screwed!"

My new V (less than 2K miles) picked up a large screw in the left rear last week. I spent most of Saturday morning making phone calls and stopping at three places that said, "sure, we can fix it", and couldn't. It seems that only two or three places in Tucson have the correct machine needed to change a run-flat tire. Most places are afraid to try, and I am afraid to have them try!!. I finally got it done at a Discount Tire, that had previously ruined a run-flat on my Vette. Now that took guts! The point here is that we all need to know where to turn when this happens. I am going to develop a list of service centers that CAN fix our tires. I will compile the list with the help of the Corvette Forum folks and with your help. If you know of a suitable "change/repair" center, please let me know so I can add it to this national list. I will make the completed list available here, for all CTS-V ers. :judge:

This is the secret to getting runflats changed. Just call them and find one local to you.

I am in Tucson. When I picked up a screw, I called Phil's Fleet Tire Service from my office-(520) 884-9882, or (520) 349-1804 (mobile). They came to me, took off the wheel & tire, took it to their shop, repaired it, and brought it back. No complaints from them (or me).

Thanks Stealth and Chipdelay, I will make note of both. Appreciate it.

There is also a little button under the rearview mirror that comes in handy.
