What's included in a flat tire change
Any light-duty vehicle with a spare that fits can get a flat tire change, from cars, SUVs and pickups to vans, work trucks and fleet vehicles.
- Your spare mounted in place of the flat, whether it's a full-size spare or a compact one
- The technician brings the tools for the job, so you don't have to hunt for the jack or lug wrench
- Lug nuts tightened down firmly and evenly
- The flat tire placed in your trunk, ready to be repaired or replaced
- A locking lug nut removed on the same visit if the wheel lock key is missing
- An itemized receipt you can send to your insurer if your auto policy includes roadside coverage; whether it pays is up to your policy
When to call for a flat tire change
- The tire is visibly flat or sagging down onto the rim
- The tire pressure warning light is on, which NHTSA says means at least one tire is significantly underinflated
- Steering gets difficult, the car shakes or it pulls to one side, which Mazda's manual lists as signs of a flat
- You're stopped near busy traffic and don't want to work beside it
- The lug nuts won't budge, or a wheel lock needs a key you can't find
- You don't know where the jack and spare are kept
When it's not a roadside fix
If your spare is low, missing or damaged, the dispatcher can quote air delivery or a tire brought out instead. A bent wheel or a damaged hub or stud is shop work: if that's what you describe, the dispatcher tells you before anyone drives out.
Nobody stays in a car on a jack
Mazda's owner's manual warns that someone inside a car on a jack can make it fall. So once lifting starts, get out and wait well away from the car and the traffic lanes, behind a guardrail if there is one, and never between the car and traffic. If you're stopped on a busy road like US-75, keep your hazards on and stay buckled in until the technician arrives.
How a flat tire change works
-
Call with your spot and your spare
Tell the dispatcher where you're stopped, which tire is flat, and whether you have a spare and a wheel lock key. A highway and the nearest exit is enough, like I-35E at Mockingbird Lane. You get the price and a typical ETA on the call.
-
Step away once the jack comes out
The technician makes sure the car sits on firm, level ground and the parking brake is set before lifting it. When the jack goes under, get everyone out and wait well away from the car and from passing traffic.
-
Spare on, flat in the trunk
The flat comes off, your spare goes on and the lug nuts are tightened down. The damaged tire goes in your trunk. If the puncture is small and in the tread, ask about a temporary plug instead of the spare; a tire shop should then repair the tire from the inside. If it can't be plugged, the dispatcher can quote a replacement.
-
Deal with the flat soon
You already paid on the call, so keep the itemized receipt and go. Mazda's owner's manual, for one, says to have the flat repaired or replaced as soon as possible, so you aren't left without a spare next time.
How much does a flat tire change cost in Dallas?
The dispatcher gives you one total on the phone, and that's what you pay for the job you described. You pay Pit Stop Roadside Services LLC on the call once you've heard the price and the arrival time and said yes, before a technician is sent.
If plans change: refunds and fees
- Before you payYou hear one total and the arrival time. Say no and it costs nothing.
- Within 5 minutes of payingCancel for a full refund.
- Until the technician arrivesAfter that, you can still cancel and pay only the $35 to $75 service fee. The rest is refunded.
- At the carDone as described, the quote is all you pay. Can't be finished for a reason outside our control? The service fee replaces the price and the rest is refunded.
If we can't get a technician to you, or can't finish because of something on our side, you get a full refund. The dispatcher tells you the exact fee for your job before you pay.
If the job changes, can't be finished or isn't safe
- If the job changes
- If the job is different from what you described, you hear the new price before any extra work. Say no, and we finish what was quoted if we can; if we can't, the service fee applies and the rest is refunded.
- If it can't be finished
- If the reason is outside our control (the car needs a mechanic, the details given weren't right, or nobody is at the vehicle), a $35 to $75 service fee replaces the price and the rest is refunded. The dispatcher tells you the exact fee for your job before you pay.
- If the spot isn't safe
- If the spot you describe isn't one we can work in safely, the dispatcher tells you before you pay. If the technician finds at the car that it can't be done safely, for example in a live traffic lane, and the car can't be moved somewhere safer, the job can't be finished for a reason outside our control: the $35 to $75 service fee applies and the rest is refunded.

What the price depends on
- How far the technician drives to reach you
- Your vehicle, from a compact sedan to a work van or loaded pickup
- Whether a locking or stuck lug nut has to come off first
- Whether your spare needs air, or you need a tire brought out instead
- A late-night call far from our Dallas base, which can cost more
Flat tire change: questions people ask
How much does a flat tire change cost in Dallas?
Pit Stop quotes one total for a flat tire change on the phone before a technician drives out. It depends on where the car is and your vehicle, and it's what you pay for the job you described. Have a lower written quote for the same service and vehicle from another roadside company serving your location? Tell the dispatcher before a technician is sent, send a copy the way the dispatcher asks, and Pit Stop matches it.
Do I need my own spare tire for a flat tire change?
Yes. A flat tire change from Pit Stop puts your own spare on the car, and the flat goes in your trunk. If you have no spare, or it's flat or damaged, tell the dispatcher at (214) 367-5302. Pit Stop can bring out a used or new tire and mount it instead, and the dispatcher confirms the size, whether one is available and the price on the call.
What should I tell the dispatcher about a work truck or loaded pickup?
Give the year, make and model, say whether it's loaded, and mention whether you have a spare that holds air and the wheel lock key. Pit Stop changes flats on light-duty vehicles, including work trucks, vans and pickups, but not semis or heavy-duty trucks. Call (214) 367-5302 and the dispatcher quotes the price for your vehicle on the call, before anyone drives out.
Should I change a flat myself on the highway shoulder?
It's safer not to. Mazda's owner's manual warns that stopping in traffic or on the shoulder of a busy road is dangerous, and says to change a tire on a level spot well off the road and away from traffic. If you can't get clear of the highway, turn on your hazards and stay buckled in. If anyone is hurt, or the car is stuck in a live lane, call 911 first.
Can you change my flat if I lost the wheel lock key?
Yes. If the wheel lock key is lost or broken, the Pit Stop technician removes the locking lug nut, then mounts your spare. Mention the wheel lock when you call (214) 367-5302 so the dispatcher quotes both jobs as one total before the technician drives out. A removed wheel lock can't be reused. The technician tells you whether a standard lug nut can go on in its place; if not, have a tire shop fit one before you drive far.
Can my flat be plugged instead of swapped for the spare?
Sometimes, as a temporary fix. Industry guidance from the U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association limits repairs to punctures in the tread that are 1/4 inch across or smaller, and rules out any damage reaching the shoulder. If you can see a nail or screw in the tread, ask the Pit Stop dispatcher about a temporary roadside plug instead of a spare change, then have a tire shop repair the tire from the inside.
Do you change flats in driveways and parking garages?
Yes. Pit Stop changes flat tires where the car is parked in Dallas: a home driveway, an apartment lot, an office garage or a street spot in Deep Ellum or Lower Greenville, as well as the roadside. Tell the dispatcher the garage name, the level and the entrance you used so the technician finds you quickly.
While you wait
- Get out of traffic. If the car still rolls, ease onto the shoulder, the next exit ramp or a parking lot.
- Hazards on. Turn on your flashers. At night, keep your parking lights on too.
- Stay clear of the lanes. On a highway, stay buckled in the car or stand well behind the guardrail. Never between the car and traffic.
- Keep your phone free. The dispatcher may call back to confirm the spot. Keep the line open and the phone charged.
