Flat Tire Repair in Oak Lawn IL
Oak Lawn Towing Experts can make your bad day a whole lot better with flat tire repair or replacement!
Have you ever changed a tire – on the side of the road, at that? It’s not an easy thing to do.
First, you’ll need to locate your spare, jack and tire iron.
Assuming you have everything you need, you’ll next need to remove the flat. Let’s hope the lug nuts aren’t stuck, frozen or rusted.
Finally, you’ll need to replace the spare securely, all while trusting that the inadequate jack that came with your vehicle is strong enough to hold as cars, trucks, and maybe even semi’s zoom past you at dizzying speeds.
If this sounds terrifying or downright impossible, call us now!

Flat Tire Repair
Even if you know how to change a flat yourself and have the strength to do it, there are times when you’d probably rather not… on the way to a fancy dinner, a job interview or an important meeting, perhaps?

A few of the things we can do include the following:
· Replace your flat with the spare from your car
Most often, drivers just want us to pop the spare on so they won’t be late for work or other appointments. Then they can bring their vehicle in at their convenience to have the tire repaired or replaced.
· Bring a spare with us
When it rains, it pours. Or so they say. Call it bad luck or karma or whatever you want, but there’s always a chance that you’ll have a second flat right after you have had to employ your spare. Or maybe you purchased the vehicle used and didn’t realize the spare was gone until the worst possible time. In either case, we can bring what you need and change it as well.
· Patch a hole in your tire without removing it
If the problem is evident, such as a nail or screw sticking out of the tire, it’s easy for us to apply a patch or plug on site. Most repairs need to be made back at our shop, but this is a quick way to get you going again. And you can always follow up with a replacement tire if you are worried about the tire’s integrity.
Flat tire repair should be done as soon you realize you have a flat. Some manufacturers offer tires that will last up to 50 miles – at up to 50 MPH – but typically, you can drive a few hundred yards on most flats as long as you’re driving very slowly and carefully.
There’s still a good chance that you could end up replacing the tire and rim, which is a lot more expensive than a simple flat tire repair.
Before you ruin your rim and cause alignment damage and more, call Oak Lawn Towing Experts to help you change or repair a flat tire anywhere in the Oak Lawn vicinity!
