Yup, and who was liable? YOU, not the tire shop.
It's not only the lawsuits that these places don't want to deal with, it's the *irrational customers* when the "may work" fix doesn't hold up.
Let's say the tire shop patched up your rotten tire same as you did, and it lasted a week instead of 20 years. Didn't hurt anybody, just let go and left you setting in the field...
Who would you blame? Most people would be on the phone to the tire shop, cussing up a blue streak, calling the owner every name in the book for making a poor repair... Even though the owner WARNED you it might not last and you said to go and do it anyway.
Nope, can't be your fault for making the decision. Tire wasn't rotten beyond repair. It was the tire man's incompetence. Irrational.
Can you see why a tire shop would not want to deal with that, not to mention all the bad-mouthing the dissatisfied customer is going to do until the day he dies?
Much better to be bad mouthed for refusing certain jobs because at least some people will understand why, than to be bad mouthed for doing poor work when you were just trying to help a customer in a pinch.
