What Is a Flat Tire Change Service?

A flat tire change service is a roadside assistance service where a trained professional comes to your location and replaces your flat or damaged tire with your vehicle’s spare tire. Rather than attempting to change the tire yourself on the side of a busy road (which can be physically demanding, time-consuming, and potentially dangerous) a professional tire change service handles everything for you safely.

Our flat tire change service covers the full process from start to finish. When our team arrives, they will safely position and stabilize your vehicle, remove the flat tire, install your spare tire, and ensure it is properly tightened and inflated before we leave. We take every precaution to make sure the job is done correctly so you can drive away with confidence.

It’s important to note that a spare tire (particularly a compact spare, also known as a “donut”) is not designed for long-term or high-speed driving. Once we’ve installed your spare, we’ll advise you on the nearest tire shop or repair facility so you can get a proper replacement tire as soon as possible.

Common Causes of Flat Tires

Flat tires can happen for a variety of reasons, many of which are completely out of the driver’s control. Some of the most common causes include:

• Road Debris: Nails, screws, broken glass, and other sharp objects on the road are one of the leading causes of flat tires. Driving over debris can puncture the tire and cause it to deflate rapidly or slowly over time.
• Potholes and Road Damage: Hitting a deep pothole or a damaged section of road at speed can cause sudden tire damage, including blowouts and sidewall damage that makes the tire unsafe to drive on.
• Tire Wear and Age: Tires that are old, worn down, or have low tread depth are significantly more vulnerable to punctures, blowouts, and failure. Regularly checking your tire condition can help prevent unexpected flats.
• Valve Stem Damage: The valve stem is the small component through which air is added to your tire. If it becomes damaged or corroded, it can cause a slow and steady air leak that eventually results in a flat.
• Overinflation or Underinflation: Tires that are not inflated to the correct pressure are more susceptible to damage. Overinflated tires are more prone to blowouts, while underinflated tires are more vulnerable to punctures and sidewall damage.
• Sudden Blowout: In some cases, a tire can fail suddenly and without warning due to internal structural damage, extreme heat, or impact with a road hazard. A blowout at speed can be a frightening experience, and pulling over safely and calling for assistance is always the right move.

• Step 5: Installing the Spare Tire. Your spare tire is then carefully mounted onto the wheel hub and tightened to the correct torque specification to ensure it is safe and secure. We also check the spare tire’s air pressure to confirm it is at a safe level for driving.
• Step 6: Final Check and Advice. Before we leave, we do a final check to make sure everything is in order. We’ll also advise you on the condition of your spare tire and recommend that you visit a tire shop as soon as possible to get a proper replacement, particularly if your spare is a compact temporary spare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t have a spare tire?

If your vehicle doesn’t have a spare tire, or your spare is also flat or damaged, a tire change won’t be possible on the spot. In that case, we can arrange a tow to the nearest tire shop or repair facility so you can get the right tire fitted. Call us and we’ll figure out the best solution for your situation.

Can you change a tire on any type of vehicle?

We can change tires on most types of vehicles including cars, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and motorcycles. If you have a larger or more unusual vehicle, call us and describe your situation so we can confirm we have the right tools for the job.

Is it safe to drive on a spare tire?

It depends on the type of spare. A full-size spare tire is generally safe to drive on normally, though it should still be inspected by a tire professional as soon as possible. A compact spare, also known as a donut, is only intended for short-distance, low-speed driving to get you to the nearest tire shop. We’ll advise you on what type of spare you have and what to do next when we arrive.

What if my tire has a blowout rather than a slow puncture?

A blowout means the tire has failed suddenly and completely, and in most cases it cannot simply be inflated and used again. Our team will assess the damage on arrival. If the tire is beyond repair and you have a spare available, we’ll install it for you. If not, we can arrange a tow to a tire shop.

Can a punctured tire be repaired instead of replaced?

In some cases, a small puncture in the tread area of a tire can be repaired by a tire shop rather than requiring a full replacement. However, this is something that needs to be assessed by a tire professional. Our job is to get your spare installed so you can get safely to a tire shop where they can make that determination for you.
