Auto mechanics hate Fix-a-Flat, especially if a customer forgets to let them know their tire is ful of the stuff when it comes time to replace it.
I feel super sorry for whoever has to do my next tire change, the previous owner of my vehicle (just purchased otherwise it’d already have had a tire change) was using fix-a-flat for top ups so the didn’t have to lug out the air compressor.
I have no idea how much goo is in these tires, but I can only assume they look like the aftermath of a ménage et troi with 3 “Slimers” from ghostbusters.
Why do people do shit like this lmao.
I’m surprised they could even put anything in the tire even after the first treatment. FAF by its nature seals holes, and usually the valve stem gets clogged as a result (the idea is to replace the tire after using the stuff, since it’s meant to be an emergency repair).

We had a local shop owner killed when airing up a tire with fix-a-flat. His wife ran the shop after his death and she did not mince words when someone asked why the shop wouldn’t patch their tire that had fix-a-flat.

How? Was he working on an industrial tire or something?

I don’t know all the details, just that the tire exploded and killed him.
