Mobile Tire Repair in the Coachella Valley
A nail or a slow leak does not have to mean a tow. Call (760) 263-6756, describe the tire and say where you are.
When a tire can be repaired
A puncture in the tread, the flat part that touches the road, can often be plugged or patched. Damage to the sidewall, a large cut or a tire that has been driven flat for a distance usually means a replacement instead. Tell dispatch what you see and ask what can be done on the spot.
Have these ready
- Your location: cross streets, exit or business name.
- The tire size, printed on the sidewall (a code like 225/65R17).
- Whether the tire is flat or slowly losing air, and where the damage is.
- Whether you have a spare and a locking wheel-nut key.
Summer heat and tires
Hot pavement raises tire pressure and stresses worn tires. A tire that was low in the morning can fail on the afternoon drive. If the warning light is on, stop somewhere safe and call before it gets worse.

Questions
Short answers. For anything else, call and ask.
Can a flat tire be repaired instead of replaced?
A tread puncture can often be plugged or patched. Sidewall damage and large cuts usually need a new tire. Describe the damage to dispatch.
What tire size do I need to tell them?
Read the code on the sidewall, such as 225/65R17. It is also on a sticker inside the driver's door.
Should I keep driving on a slow leak?
No. Driving on a low tire can wreck it and make a repair impossible. Stop in a safe spot and call.
