Go to the auto parts and buy yourself a plug kit that has the tools, plugs, and cement; you should be able to get it for about $5. Then go home and mix up a little dish soap and water, air your tire up pretty good, then take the soapy water and brush it over the tire to look for bubbles, or hold the tire under water and watch for bubbles. Once you found the leak mark it, so you can find it again, deflate the tire and plug it.

If your not comfortable with that, most tire shops would probably do it for you for dirt cheap. But it is pretty easy to do. some tire slime will help avoid that in the future also.

Well depends on how its leaking....as in a slow week were it goes flat over a period of time (usually in that case I'll use slime) or if your talking about a hole...where there is no chance to hold air for any good time~in that case I plug it...Its simple to do..just go to a hardware store and get a t-rod and some plugs with some cement...piece of cake

If it is a slow leak, try the stuff in a can like tire jack. I tried slime and it did nothing more than make a mess. I always have a couple cans with me and it fixes all my minor flat problems.
