Flat Tire Change

Fast Flat Tire Change Service in Detroit

A flat tire always happens at the worst possible time — on your way to work, on the highway, or in a dark parking lot at night. If you cannot change the tire yourself, don’t have a spare, or simply don’t want to deal with the hassle, Prime O Towing provides quick flat tire change service across Detroit and Metro Michigan.

Our technicians arrive fully equipped to safely remove your flat tire and mount your spare so you can get back on the road. If you don’t have a spare tire, we can tow you to the nearest tire shop.

What Our Flat Tire Service Includes

• Safe jacking and tire removal — We use professional hydraulic jacks and proper lift points to avoid vehicle damage
• Spare tire mounting — We mount your spare tire (full-size or donut) and torque lug nuts to specification
• Tire pressure check — We verify your spare has adequate pressure before you drive
• Lug nut inspection — We check for cross-threading or damage to lug studs
• Towing if needed — If you don’t have a spare or the spare is also flat, we tow you to a tire shop

When to Call for Flat Tire Assistance

• No spare tire in the vehicle — Many newer vehicles no longer come with spare tires
• Unsafe location — On a busy highway, at night, or in an area where you don’t feel safe changing a tire
• Lug nuts are stuck — Over-torqued or rusted lug nuts that you can’t remove with a basic tire iron
• Physical limitations — Not everyone can safely change a tire, and that’s okay
• No jack or tools — If you don’t have the right equipment in your vehicle
• Run-flat tire that needs replacing — Run-flat tires can drive limited distances but eventually need professional service

Tips to Avoid Flat Tires

While we are always here when you need us, these tips can help prevent flat tires:

• Check tire pressure monthly — Under-inflated tires are more prone to flats and blowouts
• Inspect tires for damage — Look for nails, screws, cuts, or bulges in the sidewall
• Rotate tires regularly — Every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to ensure even wear
• Replace worn tires — Tires with tread depth below 2/32 of an inch are unsafe and blow out easily
• Avoid road hazards — Potholes, debris, and curbs cause tire damage (Detroit roads are notorious for potholes)
• Keep your spare tire inflated — Check your spare’s pressure every few months so it is ready when needed

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a tire change cost in Detroit?

Our flat tire change service is affordably priced. The cost depends on your location and time of day. Call (313) 327-6334 for a quote.

What if I don’t have a spare tire?

If you don’t have a spare, we can tow your vehicle to the nearest tire shop. Many newer vehicles come with tire repair kits instead of spares — our technician can help with those too.

Can you repair the flat tire on the spot?

We focus on mounting your spare so you can get to a tire shop for a proper repair or replacement. Roadside tire plugging is a temporary fix that may not be safe long-term.
