Wait, are you telling me they actually REPAIR the tires there?

There are places advertized for "vulcanization" here in romania, but here, all that means is that they can mount and balance tires...

I think it depends on the place.

I think in the big cities, like Mexico City, it's just the name for a tire repair shop, where they balance and replace tires. They don't actually do vulcanization anymore. But, I think in poorer or rural areas, they actually still do repairs using a vulcanization process.

I think that's because they used to do that in Romania but had to stop so those businesses pivoted to s different service
