Flat Tire Change in Amarillo TX
Pulled over with a flat? Do not get out of the car on a busy highway shoulder to wrestle with a lug wrench while semis blow past. Call 806-615-3601 and we will swap your spare or tow you to the nearest tire shop. Faster, safer, and you stay in your seat with the AC on.
When to call instead of changing it yourself
A lot of drivers know how to change a tire. The question is whether the spot you are stopped in is safe enough to do it. Some places are fine - a parking lot, a quiet residential street, a gravel pull-off. Others are not.
Call us instead of doing it yourself if:
- You are on the shoulder of I-40, US-287, I-27, or Loop 335
- The shoulder is narrow and traffic is moving fast
- It is dark, raining, sleeting, or visibility is bad
- You are uncomfortable working on a busy road
- The lug nuts are stripped, rusted, or stuck
- The spare is a donut and you are not confident driving it home
- You do not have a working jack
Most flat-tire fatalities happen because someone is bent over outside the car on a road where they were not visible. Our service truck has high-visibility lights and we know how to position it so it shields you from traffic while the spare goes on.
What our flat tire change covers
If your spare is good and inflated: We swap it on, torque the lugs to spec, and you are back on the road. Usually under 15 minutes.
If the spare is also flat: We can tow you to the nearest tire shop - Discount Tire on Soncy, Walmart Auto Care on Coulter, Pep Boys, or whichever shop you prefer.
If you do not have a spare: We tow you wherever you need to go - closest tire shop, your home, your mechanic. No spare does not mean you are stuck there all day.
If the tire is shredded beyond a plug: Same as above. Some road hazard blowouts destroy a tire completely. There is no fixing that on the shoulder. We get you off the road.
The safety issue on Amarillo roads
The stretch of I-40 through Amarillo carries heavy truck traffic all day and night. Loop 335 is a fast ring road with limited shoulder room at some interchanges. US-287 north of town gets semi traffic heading to and from the Panhandle. These are not places to squat next to your car in street clothes with a hand jack. Call 806-615-3601 and stay inside the vehicle with the seat belt on until we arrive.

Anywhere in Amarillo and the surrounding Panhandle. We get flat tire calls every day on I-40, Loop 335, US-287, I-27, Georgia St, and Coulter Ave. We also run them in parking lots, apartment complexes, and residential streets all over town. Give us your location and we will give you a real ETA.
