Fast Tire Changes When You Need Them
A flat tire can happen anywhere, anytime. We use TowBook dispatch software to get a technician to you as quickly as possible. When you call, we send a direct link to your phone that tracks your driver’s exact location and ETA in real time.
Freeway Towing & Storage uses TowBook dispatch to send the closest available truck using live GPS. Our dispatcher can text you a secure location link so you can share your exact pin with one tap, then assign the nearest truck and send you a live ETA link by text so you can see exactly where your tow truck is.

- One-tap TowBook location link when you’re not sure of cross streets or exits
- Real-time ETA updates by text so you always know when help will arrive

What Our Tire Change Service Includes
Our tire change service is quick, safe, and professional:
- Spare Installation: Removing the flat tire and securely installing your inflated spare.
- Air Pressure Check: We check the spare tire’s pressure to ensure it is safe to drive on.
- Stuck Lug Nut Removal: We have the tools to remove tight or seized lug nuts that standard lug wrenches can’t budge.

Tell our dispatcher where you’d like the vehicle to go—home, repair shop, dealership, or body shop—and we’ll handle the rest.
Things Drivers Should Know About Tire Change Services
Being prepared ahead of time can save you money and help our technicians provide faster service. Here’s what you should know:
Know Your Vehicle’s Rim and Lug Nut Type
Before you need a tire change, it’s important to know basic information about your rims and lug nuts:
- Aftermarket vs Stock Rims: Do you have factory stock rims or aftermarket rims? This information helps our technicians bring the right tools.
- Theft Prevention Lug Nuts: Many vehicles with high-end aftermarket wheels use special theft prevention lug nuts that require a unique key or socket to remove.
- Lug Nut Key Location: Theft prevention lug nut keys are usually stored in your glove box, center console, or with your spare tire tools. Make sure you know where yours is located.
Having your lug nut key readily available can prevent delays and additional service charges. Our drivers carry some standard removal tools, but we cannot guarantee removal of all security locks without the key.
Prepare Your Spare Tire Access Tools
Many vehicles store their spare tire underneath the vehicle and require special tools to lower it. Make sure you have any tools needed:
- Trucks and SUVs: Full-size pickups and larger SUVs (Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Ram 1500) typically use a winch mechanism accessed through a hole near the rear bumper. You’ll need the extension tool that fits your specific model.
- Vans: Large vans (Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter) often have undercarriage spares that require a crank tool to lower the tire from its mounting bracket.
- Smaller Vehicles: Many sedans and smaller SUVs store spares in the trunk, but some models still use under-vehicle storage with specific lowering mechanisms.
You can save a lot of money if drivers are prepared ahead of time because generally a tire change is much cheaper than a longer distance tow. Having the right tools ready helps our technicians complete the service faster and more efficiently.
Have Your Tire Size Information Ready
It’s important for drivers to have their tire size information on hand inside the vehicle somewhere. You can find this information on the sidewall of your tire or in your vehicle’s manual.
Why this matters: If you blow out two tires, you can call ahead to local tire shops to see if they have your tire size available. You can increase the cost of a tire blowout significantly if you tow it to one location and then have to tow it to a second location because they don’t have your tire size in stock.
Having this information ready allows you to make informed decisions about where to have your vehicle towed, potentially saving both time and money.
Safety First: When to Call a Professional
If you’re not comfortable doing a tire change, it’s always best to be safe and call an expert. Improper placement of the jack, or not setting the parking brake and lifting up the drive wheels of a vehicle can cause it to fall off the jack and can do serious physical harm or even death.
Being stranded on the shoulder of a highway or busy street can be a life and death situation if a collision were to occur with a driver passing by not paying attention.
Critical Safety Rule: Do not stop your vehicle in the middle of the road for a flat tire. Get over to the shoulder immediately and get over as far as possible. If the shoulder of the road is not safe enough to perform the tire change, the tow truck might have to tow you to a safe location to complete the service.
Helpful Information to Provide When Calling
When you call for tire change service, letting the dispatch know which tire is flat is very helpful for the driver to know beforehand. This allows them to:
- Prepare the appropriate equipment and tools
- Position the truck in the most efficient way
- Complete the service faster once on-site

Important Safety & Service Policies
To ensure your safety and the protection of your vehicle, please note a few important policies regarding roadside services:
- Get Off the Road Immediately: Do not stop your vehicle in the middle of the road for a flat tire. Get over to the shoulder immediately and get over as far as possible.
- Hazard Lights On: Always turn on your hazard lights immediately to alert other drivers.
- Move Away from Traffic: If your vehicle is in a dangerous position (like a busy freeway lane or narrow shoulder), we may need to tow it to a safer spot before performing service.
- Stay Safe While Waiting: Stay with your vehicle if it’s safe to do so, or move to a safe location away from traffic. Being stranded on the shoulder of a highway or busy street can be a life and death situation.
- Don’t Attempt Dangerous Repairs: If you’re not comfortable doing a tire change, or if conditions are unsafe, don’t attempt it yourself. Improper jack placement or not setting the parking brake can cause serious injury or death.

Tire Change Service FAQs
How much does a tire change cost?
We charge a flat rate of $75 for standard tire change services within our standard Phoenix metro service area.
Can you patch my tire on the side of the road?
No. For safety reasons, we do not patch or plug tires on the roadside. We install your spare tire so you can drive safely to a tire shop for a proper permanent repair or replacement.
What if I don’t have a spare tire?
If you don’t have a spare, or if your spare is flat/damaged, we can tow your vehicle to the nearest tire shop or your home. Standard towing rates ($85 hook + $5/mile) apply.
What if I lost my wheel lock key?
Our drivers carry some standard removal tools, but we cannot guarantee removal of all security locks without the key. If we cannot remove the wheel, we can tow the vehicle to a shop that specializes in lock removal.
How fast can you get here?
Our average arrival time is 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. We use GPS dispatch to send the nearest driver to you immediately.
Do I need to have my lug nut key or spare tire tools with me?
Yes, it’s very helpful. If you have theft prevention lug nuts, bring your lug nut key (usually stored in your glove box or with your spare tire tools). For vehicles with undercarriage spares, have your lowering mechanism tools ready. Having these tools can save time and prevent additional service charges.
What if my spare tire is flat or damaged?
If your spare tire is flat or damaged and cannot be used, we can tow your vehicle to the nearest tire shop or your home. Standard towing rates ($85 hook + $5 per loaded mile) apply in this case.
Can you change a tire on the freeway or busy highway?
Yes, we respond to tire changes on freeways including I-10, I-17, Loop 202, and Loop 303. However, if your vehicle is in a dangerous position or the shoulder is too narrow, we may need to tow it to a safer location first before performing the tire change. Safety is our top priority.
Should I know my tire size before calling?
While not required, it’s very helpful—especially if you’ve blown out multiple tires. Having your tire size on hand allows you to call ahead to tire shops to check availability before towing. This can save money by avoiding multiple tows if the first shop doesn’t have your tire size in stock.
Is it safe to change a tire myself on the side of the road?
If you’re not comfortable doing a tire change, or if you’re on a busy highway or freeway, it’s always best to call a professional. Improper jack placement, not setting the parking brake, or lifting drive wheels incorrectly can cause the vehicle to fall off the jack, resulting in serious injury or death. Being stranded on a highway shoulder can also be dangerous with passing traffic.
