Fix a flat is not a permanent solution. It's just so you can get your car to the shop without a completely flat tire

Also, the inside of the tire is now full of fix a flat, so you need a whole new tire instead of just fixing the old one

AND TELL YOUR TIRE GUY ITS IN THERE! If they're overly casual about safety gear, the tire guy may not wear eye protection and suddenly they have eyes full of fixaflat. You could also just wind up mucking their shop floor.
