When to call
If you've got a flat
Don't drive on it — a flat that's driven on shreds the tire and damages the wheel. Pull over somewhere safe and call. These are the situations we come out for.
- A flat — the tire is soft, bulging, or visibly losing air and you heard it before you saw it.
- A blowout — the tire shredded or came apart while you were driving and you pulled off as fast as you safely could.
- No spare in the trunk, or the spare is flat too, and you're stuck with a wheel you can't put on.
- No jack, a broken jack, or a lug wrench that doesn't fit your lugs and you can't get the wheel off.
- A lug nut you can't break loose — it's rusted on, overtightened by a shop with an impact gun, or you simply can't get the leverage on the shoulder.
- A TPMS light that came on with a tire going soft, and you caught it before it went completely flat but don't want to drive on it.
What's included
More than jacking it up
A roadside tire change done right is about safety as much as speed. Here's the full job, from getting you off the road to making sure the spare is actually safe to drive on.
- Safely securing the vehicle — getting it off the road, on flat ground, with the hazard lights on and space to work before anyone touches a lug.
- Getting the flat off and the spare on, fighting the stuck lugs so you don't have to, using a breaker bar when the factory wrench isn't enough.
- Torquing the lugs to spec in the right pattern, not just snug — because a wheel that comes loose at speed is worse than the flat you started with.
- Checking the remaining tires before we leave — air pressure and a quick look for damage — so we're not back out here for a second one.
- An honest read on the spare's condition, because a donut spare has a speed limit and a shelf life, and we'll tell you what it is and how far you can push it.
How fast we get there
An honest ETA, not a guess
We aim for under an hour across West Warwick and the nearby towns. How fast we arrive depends on where you're pulled over, what traffic is doing, and whether we're already on another call. We give you a real ETA on the phone — where you are, how far we are, and when we'll be there. If you're on a highway, tell us your nearest exit and we head straight to it. Safety first: stay in the car with the hazards on until we get there.
What it costs
What drives the price
We don't publish a dollar figure here. The price depends on how far we have to drive to reach you and what we find — a clean spare swap is one thing, a tire that needs a plug or a lug that's seized on is another. What we always promise is a real number before any work starts. The fastest way to get it is a phone call.
