Getting a flat tire while driving is not just frustrating. It can be genuinely dangerous, especially on a busy road or a highway. Driving even a short distance on a flat can destroy the tire completely, damage your rim, and in some cases affect your steering. The safest thing to do is pull over and call for help.
Our flat tire change service comes to you wherever you are in Amityville or the surrounding Long Island area. We swap your flat for your spare tire so you can drive to a tire shop and get a proper replacement. If you do not have a usable spare, we can also tow your vehicle to the nearest tire shop.
We are available 24 hours a day, every day. You will not get a voicemail or an automated system. A real person picks up every call. Check out all the ways we can help on our Amityville towing and roadside assistance home page.

Here Is What Happens When You Call Us for a Flat
We keep the process simple so you spend as little time on the side of the road as possible.
Call and tell us your location
Let us know exactly where you are and what kind of vehicle you drive. If you are on a highway, tell us the direction, the nearest mile marker or exit, and which side of the road you are on.
We come to you
A driver is dispatched right away. When we arrive, we assess whether a spare tire swap is possible. We check the condition of your spare before we begin, because an underinflated or damaged spare is no help.
Tire change or tow, your call
If your spare is good, we mount it and get you back on the road. Spare tires are typically limited to 50 miles at lower speeds, so we will let you know where the nearest tire shop is. If a tow is the better option, we can handle that too.
Common Questions About Flat Tire Service
Here are answers to the questions we hear most from drivers in Amityville, NY dealing with a flat tire on the road.
What if I do not have a spare tire?
Many newer vehicles no longer come with a full-size spare, and some do not include any spare at all. If you do not have one, or if your spare is flat or damaged, we can tow your vehicle to the nearest tire shop or to a location of your choice. Just let us know when you call and we will come prepared with a tow truck instead.
Is it safe to wait for you on the side of the road?
If you are on a highway or a busy road, stay inside your vehicle with your seatbelt on and your hazard lights on. Do not try to change the tire yourself if you are in a dangerous position near fast-moving traffic. If you are in a parking lot or a quiet area, you can stand a safe distance from the road. We will find you quickly once you give us your location.
Can you change a tire on any type of vehicle?
We handle tire changes on most passenger cars, SUVs, trucks, and vans. Larger commercial vehicles or specialty vehicles may require different equipment. When you call, let us know your vehicle type and we will confirm whether a standard tire change is the right service or if we need to bring different equipment for the job.

Pull over safely, turn on your hazard lights, and give us a call. We will have someone heading your way in minutes. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
