When You'd Need It
Potholes, construction debris and summer heat all take their toll on tires around Baton Rouge. You might hear the thump of a blowout on the interstate, or come out of a store to find a tire sitting on the rim. Changing it yourself is harder than it sounds when the lug nuts are seized, the jack is missing, or traffic is passing a few feet away.
What We Do
If you have a usable spare, we'll swap it on so you can drive to a tire shop. If the tire can be patched or plugged safely, we'll tell you. If it can't be fixed on the spot and there's no spare, we can tow the vehicle to a shop instead, so you're not stuck either way.
What To Expect
On the phone, we'll ask where you are and whether you have a spare. While you wait, stay well off the road and keep your hazards on. When the driver arrives, they'll look at the tire and the wheel and tell you plainly what's possible: repair, spare or tow.
What To Have Ready When You Call
- Your location and which side of the road you're on
- Whether you have a spare, and where it's stored
- Wheel lock key, if your car uses locking lug nuts
- Which tire is flat and how it happened, if you know
Then call (225) 937-3372, open 24/7.
