Flat Tire Change in Louisville, KY

What We Need From You

• A spare tire, either a full-size spare or a temporary donut.
• Where the spare is: in the trunk or under the vehicle. Spares under pickups and minivans need the right tool to lower them.
• If your car has locking lug nuts, the lug nut key. It is usually in the glove box or with the jack.

How the Tire Change Works

1. We park the service truck to protect you from traffic and set out warning lights.
2. We loosen the lug nuts, lift the car and take off the flat.
3. We mount the spare and tighten the lug nuts in the right pattern.
4. We check the spare's air pressure before you drive.

No Spare, or the Spare Is Flat Too?

It happens more than you would think. If there is no usable spare, we can tow the car to a tire shop or home. Some newer cars come with only an inflator kit and no spare at all, so it is worth checking your trunk on a quiet day.

Staying Safe With a Flat

• Pull as far off the road as you can, onto a flat, solid surface.
• Turn on your hazard lights.
• On a busy highway like I-65 or I-264, stay buckled in or stand well behind the guardrail. Do not change a tire next to moving traffic.

Driving on a Donut

A temporary spare is meant to get you to a tire shop, not for long trips. Most are limited to around 50 mph and a short distance; check the label on the spare.
