Call (260) 267-9022What Happens When You Call
The driver mounts your spare with a proper jack and torque. Safer than kneeling on a shoulder with the factory kit, especially at night on I-69. If the spare is a donut, they'll remind you of its speed and distance limits.
While you wait: pull as far off the travel lane as the car will roll, hazards on, and stay in the car if traffic is close. Don't start the factory-jack fight on the traffic side of the car. That's exactly the situation roadside tire service exists to prevent. No spare or a damaged wheel? The tow goes to the tire shop you pick; give us the tire size or the car's year, make, and model so the shop can have your tire ready.
Tire Changes Cost in Fort Wayne
| Service | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Tire change (your spare) | $50–$100 |
| Nights, weekends, storms | Can run a little higher. Quoted straight before dispatch |
| No spare. Tow to a tire shop | Hook-up $75–$125 + mileage |
Typical local ranges, exact price on the phone. Example: a tow from an Aboite blowout to the tire shops off Illinois Road is only a few miles. $15–$25 in mileage on top of the hook. If the wheel itself is damaged from a pothole hit, plan on the tow; driving on it makes it worse.

Fort Wayne flats cluster where the debris is: the I-69 and I-469 shoulders, the potholes that open up on US-30 and US-24 every freeze-thaw cycle, and construction zones downtown. After a hard winter, pothole season is our busiest stretch for wheels and tires.
Blowout left you shaken? Everything else that strands a car is covered under roadside assistance and emergency towing.
Tire Changes FAQs
How much does a roadside tire change cost in Fort Wayne?
Typically $50–$100 to mount your spare. If there's no usable spare, a tow to the tire shop of your choice runs $75–$125 to hook up plus mileage.
How fast can you get to me?
The dispatcher gives you an honest ETA when you call. Interstate shoulders get priority. A flat on I-69 is not a place to linger.
Can you bring me a new tire instead?
No, no truck can realistically carry every size and brand. We mount your spare, or tow you to the tire shop you choose so you buy exactly the tire you want.
How far can I drive on the donut spare?
Donut spares are built for roughly 50 miles at 50 mph, not a week of commuting. Get the real tire fixed or replaced quickly. The donut has less grip and no reserve.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your location, whether you have a spare and where it lives (trunk floor, under the rear), and the vehicle's year, make, and model. That decides whether we send a change or a tow.
Does insurance or a roadside membership cover this?
Often, yes. Most policies with roadside coverage and clubs like AAA reimburse a receipted call. Pay, keep the receipt, and file the claim. The dispatcher can tell you the itemized total to make that easy.
Can you come at night or in bad weather?
Call anytime. If a truck is available we roll, and unsafe positions move to the front of the line. Nights and storms can price a little higher, and you hear that number up front, not at the drop.
Stuck? Get moving.
One call gets you a dispatcher, an upfront price, and a truck on the way.
