The job
Repair, spare or new tire, decided at the car
We look at the tire before deciding anything. A nail or screw in the tread, on a tire that wasn’t driven far while flat, is usually a plug repair, and you drive away on your own tire. A cut, a bulge or a blown sidewall can’t be repaired. Then it’s your spare, or a new tire in your size put on where the car is.
A tire shop is the right place once you can get the car there. We’re for the part where you can’t: the shoulder, the curb, the lot where the tire gave out. If a repair will do, that’s what we tell you. If it’s a new tire, read the size off the sidewall before you call, because it saves a round of questions.
Tires are a big part of our work. Most of our written Google reviews mention a tire or a flat, and two of them are below.

On 280, at the curb, between rides
280, 87, 101, 880, 680, 85 and 237 all run through San Jose, so on a freeway the road number and the direction tell us more than the city does. If the tire goes on 280, pull as far onto the right shoulder as the car will go and put the hazards on. If the car is stopped in a lane, call 911 first.
Drivers who work from their car call us too. If you drive for Uber and pick up a nail between rides, the car can stay at the curb or in the lot where you pulled over while the tire gets sorted. One Uber driver’s review (Frank Rivera, March 2025) doesn’t say what the job was, but it ends with “As an Uber driver they are now new service provider.”
