Currency operated tire inflation and repair apparatus and methods

A method for repairing tires, the method comprising:

• providing a tire repair assembly comprising:
• an air assembly coupled to a tire sealant tank via a valve configured to control fluid communication between the tank and the air assembly;
• a flow meter coupled to the air assembly;
• a clean out assembly coupled to the flow meter;
• and
• computer processing circuitry operatively coupled to:
• the flow meter;
• the clean out assembly;
• and
• the valve;
• providing air from the air assembly to the tire sealant tank to provide air and sealant through the flow meter and then to a first tire;
• after providing air and sealant to the tire, engaging the clean our assembly to clean out conduit between the flow meter and the tire;
• and
• after engaging the clean out assembly, again providing air from the air assembly to the tire sealant tank to provide air and sealant through the flow meter and then to a second tire, the first tire being different from the second tire.

A stand alone currency operated tire repair assembly, the assembly comprising:

• a tire sealant tank;
• an air compressor operatively coupled to the tank;
• a valve operatively aligned between the tank and the air compressor;
• a flow meter operatively aligned between the tank and the air compressor;
• a clean out assembly coupled to the flow meter;
• and
• computer processing circuitry operatively coupled to the air compressor, the valve, the clean out assembly, and the flow meter.
