Spare installation
Spare Tire Installation in Houston
Plenty of drivers have a perfectly good spare in the trunk and no safe way to put it on — no jack, no leverage on the lug nuts, a locking lug key that vanished, or nowhere safe to kneel down.
That's a quick call for us. We come out, put the spare on properly, and check that it's actually fit to drive on.
What we check on the spare
Spares sit for years and lose air. Before you drive off, we check pressure, look at the tread and the sidewall for dry rot, and confirm it's the right fit for the wheel and position.
Compact temporary spares have speed and distance limits for a reason. We'll tell you what yours is rated for so the fix to one problem doesn't create another.
- Spare pressure checked and set
- Spare condition inspected
- Lug nuts torqued to spec, not guessed
- Damaged tire loaded up or hauled away
No spare, or the spare is bad
Many newer vehicles ship without one. If there's no spare or it's unusable, mobile tire replacement is the path — we bring a real tire out instead.
Then what?
A temporary spare gets you off the road, not through the week. Bring the vehicle to the shop on Yale Street, or set up a mobile replacement, and get a full-size tire back on the corner it belongs on.
