^ negative, called them already. all kal tires are closed on sundays. same with ok tire, abs tire, midas, budget brake + muffler, etc 
canadian tire is open but they want to charge me $70 so i'm playing my cards to see if i have any other options

price varies from size of wheel/tire so i'd suggest giving them a call. $70 from ct for a patch seems a little much.

I was quoted $26 for a plug and patch at Kal tire a week ago, so $70 seems really high.

Costco, if you or a friend has a Costco card.
Edit: 19's on low profile........ OK, maybe Costco isn't the place to go, LOL.

Why is it expensive? They have to dismount your big ass tire and patch from the inside, mount and balance.. Shop time is expensive..AND you want it be done on a Sunday. Quote:

try calling Jack at Road Runners mobile repair for a quote, they come to you. I have called him to buy used tires once, but not for a plug & patch so don't know his pricing.
604 274 8473 Road Runners Dial A Tire - The Lower Mainland's Only Mobile Tire Service and Sales
worth a try since he does 24/7 road side assistance.

kal tire quoted me $20 and ended up doing it for free for me last time this happened. same car, same wheels. so no, it's expensive because their prices are high
called roadrunners and left a callback number. i imagine it won't be much cheaper than cdn tire because they're mobile though?

But is Kal Tire open on Sunday? NO!
CT is providing a commodity that no one else can provide, yet you covet.. It is called supply and demand. Quote:

If you're so hung up on that extra $50 just wait until tomorrow and ride transit for a day or better yet find a buddy to hook up a ride

^Its possible. Not sure if his prices are negotiable but if he calls you back see if he can beat Canadian tire to get your business as a first time customer.
