Hi León.
Gabe's answer made me doubt and whereas the 'Oxford' is reliable but isn't Gospel, I consulted a Uruguyan friend here, just to be sure. He assured me that it's what we call in Mexico, "talachera"..which is a tire workshop where they repair punctured or damaged tires.
Luck:-)

  -> Muchas gracias de nuevo, Patricia:-)
agree  Robert Copeland: Terry, you are correct.... I have heard them called tire repair shops/centers or just tire centers (such as Goodyear/Firestone) where they do a little of everything relating to tires..... It's just personal preference......

The "gomería" is usually behind the gas station and it's where you go when you have a flat.

tyre workshop


Explanation:
I would omit the word "repair" because in tyre workshops, new and second-hand tyres are sold, people working there not just repair damaged or punctured tyres.
