Any local shop with tire installation equipment can. You have to let all the air out. Pop the bead and lower the tire to see base of stem.

But you have low pros so their going to charge extra.

not from CAN, but i'm sure any tire/repair shop could give you a temporary fix and offer a permanent solution. sorry it doesn't help much...

^ Once a valve stem is leaking that's it. It isn't like pluggying a tire.

I always recommend stem changes with tire changes and not those cheap rubber ones.

Well at least your tires are not the expensive. Mine will be somewhere around $300+ PER tire.
