Lupoli’s Mobile Tire is a tire repair and rotation service. From new tires and repairs to rotations and snow tire changeovers, he shows up where you are and takes care of it so you don’t have to deal with the shop.
Most Gorge drivers swap in late October or early November before the first mountain snow. Oregon and Washington have specific dates governing when studded tires are legal — check current rules before your appointment.
Not always. A clean puncture in the center tread can typically be patched. Sidewall damage, shoulder damage, or a hole larger than a quarter-inch usually means the tire needs replacement. A reputable shop will tell you honestly which applies.
A seasonal changeover (four tires on existing rims) typically runs $60–$120. A flat repair or puncture patch runs $25–$50. Balancing is often an add-on at $15–$25 per tire.
