Stranded on the shoulder. Pulled into a gas station with a flat. Broke down on the Howard Frankland heading home. We dispatch a mobile tech to your exact GPS coordinates any hour of any day — 30 to 60 minutes most calls inside Tampa.
I-275 · TAMPA
TAMPA BAY SERVICE
When we say 24/7 roadside, we mean it the way an ER means it. Trucks are staffed and dispatching at 3 AM, on Christmas Eve, during a thunderstorm, on the side of I-275 in the middle of a Bucs game traffic jam. There's no 'leave a voicemail and we'll get back to you Monday.' There's no after-hours surcharge. There's no fuel fee because the call came in late.
We've got techs based across Tampa Bay — central Tampa, north toward Lutz, east toward Brandon — so we can hit any shoulder, any parking lot, any neighborhood inside a 50-mile radius of downtown without you waiting on a truck rolling from out of state. The average response inside the city of Tampa is around 45 minutes, faster during off-peak hours, slightly slower when I-275 is locked up at rush hour.
The job itself is whatever the tire needs. A plug-and-patch from the inside if the puncture is in the tread. A swap to your spare if the sidewall is shredded. A full mounted-and-balanced replacement if you don't have a spare and we've got the right size on the truck. We tell you which one before we charge anything.
A standard plug-and-patch roadside repair in Tampa runs $69 to $95 depending on your location and how late the call is. There's no fuel surcharge, no after-hours fee, no 'hazard pay' if you're on the shoulder of a major highway. The price we quote on the phone before we roll is the price you pay in cash, card, or Apple Pay before we leave.
On-site tire replacement (the tire is shot, you need a new one) is priced at the wholesale tire cost plus a flat $40 mobile install fee — usually $145 to $260 all-in for a passenger car tire including mount, balance, and disposal of the old tire. Larger truck tires and specialty sizes are quoted on the call.
Roadside service runs across all of Hillsborough County plus the Pasco border — Tampa, South Tampa, New Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Town 'n' Country, Carrollwood, Westchase, Temple Terrace, Lutz, Wesley Chapel, and Plant City. We patrol every major highway and most major surface streets.
Most calls on Tampa-area interstates get a tech on scene within 30 to 60 minutes. Heavy rain, rush hour on I-275 northbound, or a wreck blocking lanes can push that to 75 minutes. We'll give you a real ETA on the phone — not a 'soon' estimate.
Almost always. A standard Tampa-area tow runs $125 to $200 plus whatever the tire shop charges. Our roadside repair starts at $69, full replacement usually lands $145 to $260 all-in. You also save the half-day you'd spend at the shop.
Tell dispatch when you call. We'll get a hazard-aware tech with proper safety gear (cones, beacon, reflective vest) on the way, and if the spot is too dangerous to work in we'll pull you to a safer location before we start the repair.
Yes. We service light commercial, box trucks, and semi tires — see the commercial fleet page for more on heavy-duty roadside. Fleet accounts get priority dispatch.
Yes. As long as we can get the truck and your car to a safe enough spot to jack up, we can mount and balance a new tire on the shoulder. If the location isn't safe (median, narrow shoulder, active construction), we'll swap to your spare and direct you to a nearby safer location to finish the job.
We're not contracted with AAA or insurance roadside networks, so you'll pay us directly. Most customers find it's worth the difference because we're faster and you skip the tire shop entirely. Some auto insurance plans reimburse mobile tire service — check your policy.
