No jack, no spare, no problem

Either the spare isn’t there, or it’s under a week of luggage, or the lugs haven’t moved since the Clinton administration. An operator with the right tools changes it in minutes.

The details

• $60–100 typical
• Works with or without a spare — no spare? We tow you to a tire shop instead, your call
• Stripped or stuck lugs? The truck carries impact tools for that

Winter note

Ice-season flats spike every year — December to February. Calls queue longer at rush hour; the operator will give an honest ETA before coming.
