Overview
Roadside Tire Change in Los Angeles
Your Spare Tire, Installed Roadside
Tell dispatch whether you have a usable spare, where the vehicle is stopped, and whether a wheel-lock key is available. A spare-tire change needs stable ground and enough space away from moving traffic. The operator confirms the condition of the spare and whether the location is suitable before work begins.
No Usable Spare or a Damaged Wheel?
If the spare is missing, flat, or unsuitable—or there is wheel or suspension damage—ask about towing to a tire shop. This page is for roadside spare installation, not a tire-repair or retail-tire appointment. A tire shop can advise on patching, replacement, balancing, or buying tires. The Van Nuys and Burbank area pages provide local information for arranging assistance.

Before Calling: Spare Tire and Pickup Checklist
Use this short checklist to explain the flat-tire problem and help dispatch assess whether a spare-tire change is suitable.
Spare or inflation kit?
Tell dispatch whether you have a spare wheel and tire, only a sealant/inflation kit, or neither. Mention whether the spare is accessible and whether its condition is known. Do not assume a kit replaces a usable spare.
Wheel and vehicle details
Give the year, make and model and which tire is affected. Mention multiple flat tires, visible wheel damage, and whether the wheel-lock key is available.
Where the vehicle is stopped
Give the exact entrance, parking level or cross street. Describe slopes, soft ground, nearby traffic and space around the affected wheel. The operator determines whether there is a suitable working area.
A destination if towing is needed
If no usable spare is available, have a preferred tire shop or repair facility in mind and confirm it can receive the vehicle. Ask dispatch about suitability, the quoted service and current ETA.

Installing your usable spare tire when the vehicle and location are suitable. Tell dispatch about the spare, wheel-lock key, damage, and any access restrictions.
We can discuss towing to a tire shop or repair facility that you choose. Confirm that the destination can receive the vehicle.
Only if the operator determines there is a safe working area. A narrow shoulder, traffic-side wheel, slope, or unstable surface may require moving or towing the vehicle instead.
Follow the speed, distance, and load limits printed on your spare and in the vehicle manual. Arrange tire-shop inspection or replacement as appropriate; temporary spares are not a permanent repair.
