Flat Tire Change on US 377 and US 380 Shoulders
A flat tire change gets commuters and parents moving again after a flat on US 377 through Aubrey or on US 380 toward Denton or Prosper. Our technician puts on your spare where you're stopped and gets you back on the road.
Before you call, get to a safe spot off the travel lanes if you can. If anyone is hurt or the car is stuck in a traffic lane, call 911 first, then call us. When you reach our dispatcher, give your direction of travel and the nearest cross street or mile marker.
A flat change typically follows a set order. First, our technician checks the shoulder and the ground under the jack. Next, the lug nuts (the nuts that hold the wheel on) are loosened, the car is lifted, the wheel is swapped and the nuts are tightened in a star pattern so the wheel sits evenly. Then the technician checks the spare's pressure. A spare low on air is a common failure, since it can sit in the trunk for years.
Many spares are compact "donut" tires. They're made for short, slower trips, not for days of highway driving.
Mobile tire change covers the same job at home, at work or in an apartment lot, not just the roadside.
Texas law requires drivers to move over or slow down for tow trucks with lights on. That rule helps protect you and our technician on a busy shoulder.
