How much does a roadside tire change cost in Richmond?
A roadside tire change is priced by the operator before dispatch - your flat comes off, your spare goes on, and you are back on the road. The operator confirms the price before rolling.

My car has no spare tire - now what?
More and more cars ship without a spare - a lot of newer models and nearly every EV come with a sealant kit instead. If the puncture is small and the sidewall is intact, a plug or sealant may hold long enough to reach a shop. If the tire is shredded or the sidewall is gone, sealant won't work and it is a flatbed to the nearest tire shop. Tell us your year and model when you call so the operator arrives with the right plan.
