Walmart+ flat tire repair is a free, practical fix for normal passenger tires when the damage is safely repairable, and it can save the $18 to $30 many shops charge. The benefit has worked on tires bought elsewhere, with some locations turning repairs around quickly and others taking much longer. Access depends heavily on the store, since many Walmarts do not have Auto Centers and some locations refuse low profile tires, aftermarket rims, run flats, or tires that are too worn or unsafe. Calling ahead and checking the local shop's rules matters.
Drivers with a puncture in the tread area, because Walmart Auto Center can patch repairable flats free even when the tire was bought elsewhere.
Walmart+ members needing a nearby emergency fix, because the benefit is available at many Walmart Auto Centers and can be the only open option on Sundays.
Owners of ordinary passenger cars with a repairable flat, because the service is offered on normal passenger-vehicle tires and can be completed in under an hour at some locations.
Shoppers comparing against paid tire shops, because the free repair can replace a $10 to $30 puncture fix elsewhere.
Cars with unsafe damage or tread too close to the sidewall, because Walmart will refuse repairs when the tire cannot be guaranteed safe.
Drivers who need predictable turnaround, because some locations have long waits, missed appointments, and slow or inconsistent service.
Drivers with low-profile tires or aftermarket wheel setups, because some Walmart locations refuse those installs and may not service the tire at all.
Tesla and other EV owners needing quick tire service, because a shop may lack the knowledge to repair the vehicle and send it away after a long wait.

Walmart called and said they are to low profile and can't install them. Said to take it to a different, bigger Walmart that could. Went there, they said the same thing.
Was told that they could only install aspect ratio of 40 or higher, that the "machines" they had at Walmart couldn't do a 35 or lower.
So had to cancel install, and throw the tires in the trunk and take them over to Firestone to install them. Which is fine, but now I have no road hazard warranty because Walmart didn't install them, and Firestone won't because not there tire.
Not sure if anyone else had this problem with 35's, but unlikely they will do a flat repair on low profile tires (even if low profile are the factory tires).

Would have damaged your rims.
Should have refunded tires, bought from costco or tireshop.

I usually buy tires from Costco. But my tires were really bad, and Costco takes like 10 days to get the tires in for that car, and Walmart was like 2 days. And since I had the tires in my trunk, and Firestone installed them immediately, didn't return tires to Walmart. Going to do better planning next time.
