Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to have a flat tire changed roadside?
If you have a usable spare, the change itself is typically covered as part of a standard service call — commonly in the $50-$100 range without a membership plan. If you don't have a spare, the cost shifts depending on whether a tow to a tire shop is needed instead.
What if I don't have a spare tire?
Some newer vehicles don't come with one at all. In that case, the operator can't just swap it on the spot — you'll likely need a tow to the nearest tire shop, which is a separate service (see our towing pages) rather than a simple roadside change.
Does roadside assistance cover the cost of a new tire?
No — a flat tire change service covers the labor to swap on your spare, not the cost of a replacement or repaired tire itself. You'll still need to get the flat repaired or replaced afterward.
Can a flat tire be repaired instead of replaced?
Sometimes, if the damage is a straightforward puncture in the tread and not on the sidewall. That's a tire shop repair though, not something done roadside — the priority on-site is getting your spare on so you can drive to get it properly assessed.
How long does a roadside tire change take?
Usually 15-30 minutes once the technician arrives, assuming a workable spare is available and the lug nuts aren't seized or over-torqued from a machine shop.
