Spare Tire Installation at Your Location
Many drivers have a spare but do not have the right jack, tools, experience, or safe work area to change the tire. We bring roadside equipment to the vehicle, remove the disabled wheel when possible, and install the vehicle’s usable spare. We also check that the spare appears inflated enough for temporary use before you continue.
Temporary Spare vs. Full-Size Spare
A compact “donut” spare is usually designed only for temporary, limited-speed driving. A full-size spare may allow more normal use, but it should still be checked for pressure, age, condition, and compatibility. Always follow the instructions printed on the spare and the vehicle owner’s manual. Our role is to get the usable spare mounted correctly; long-term tire replacement should be handled by a tire facility.
Roadside Tire Assessment
Not every tire problem is the same. A puncture in the tread area may sometimes be repairable by a tire professional, while sidewall damage, a blowout, a bent wheel, or a tire that has been driven flat may require replacement. We do not promise that every tire can be repaired roadside. We focus on the safest practical option available for your specific situation.
What to Tell Us Before We Arrive
Tell us the vehicle year, make and model; the affected tire position; whether you have a spare; whether the spare is under the vehicle, in the trunk, or externally mounted; and whether you have a wheel-lock key. If the vehicle is in a garage, gated lot, airport area, or apartment complex, share access information so we can reach the vehicle efficiently.
After a Spare Is Installed
Check the spare-tire limitations before driving. Temporary spares commonly have lower speed and distance limits than normal tires. Drive carefully, avoid sudden maneuvers, and arrange permanent tire service as soon as practical. If the spare has low pressure, visible cracking, or other damage, it may not be safe to use.
