In case you didn't know, they do car repairs a little bit differently in the Philippines.

Per YouTube/Peter White:

I had a tire with a slow leak so I stopped at a nearby vulcanizing shop to get it fixed. I have had tires repaired in Canada and the process had some major differences. For everyone's education - nothing on the car was scratched, including the wheels and quarter panels.

What an awesome example of getting the job done by working with what you have.
