Flat Tire Help & Spare Changes in Iowa City
IC Roadside & Key comes to your vehicle for flat tire help. Tell us your location and whether you have a usable spare. We confirm the service and quote before dispatch.
Usable spare available
We can fit a usable spare to your vehicle, subject to safe access and vehicle suitability. Let us know if the wheels require a wheel-lock key. Follow the spare manufacturer's speed and distance limits after installation.
No usable spare
New or used replacement tires are available subject to suitable size and condition. Current replacement work includes a shop step away from the vehicle; we explain the process, timing and costs before you agree.
Repair or replace?
A tire must be removed from the wheel and inspected internally before a permanent puncture repair can be assessed. Repairable injuries are limited to the tread area and no larger than 1/4 inch, subject to the tire manufacturer's limits and the tire's condition. A proper repair fills the injury and seals the inner liner; an outside-only plug or a patch alone is not a complete permanent repair. Sidewall or shoulder damage needs a different solution.
Read USTMA tire repair guidance. Call to discuss whether a shop assessment, spare change or replacement is suitable for your situation.
