Flat Tire Change in Long Island City, NY.
Flat tire change for Long Island City drivers, dispatched around the clock by crews who run this city every day. A flat tire on the shoulder of the BQE or the Cross Bronx is one of the most dangerous places to be in this city, and changing it yourself in live traffic is how people get hurt. The operator comes to you, swaps the flat for your spare when that spare is usable, and gets you moving again.

My car has no spare tire - now what?
More and more cars ship without a spare, a lot of newer models and many EVs 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 an operator can quote a flatbed to the nearest tire shop. Tell us your year and model when you call so the operator can confirm the plan.
