One of the tires on my truck had a very slow leak. The leak was so slow that the tire went flat over winter. The tire repair person at the shop in Volga advised against using an arenol can of stop leak. He said that the stop leak aspect doesn't always work. The stop leak material, if it doesn't stop the leak, makes the tire difficult to patch. "Just bring the truck in" he said, so I did.
At the shop they removed the wheel, examined the tire, deflated it and replaced the valve stem, which was the source of the leak...put it all back together and remounted the wheel on the truck. This was done as I waited. The cost? $10.52.
I also learned something. It is illegal to use inner-tubes in tires for highway driving. Apparently it is a safety issue. Did you know that? There's always something to learn!
