Calibrated torque, proper roadside setup, a safe ride home.
A roadside spare swap done right protects you twice (once from the flat itself, and once from the over-torqued lug nuts and missed sidewall damage that send a lot of drivers back to a tire shop the next week). Every call includes a calibrated torque wrench, full roadside setup, and an honest check of the other three tires before we leave.
Calibrated torque wrench set to the spec printed on your door jamb, applied in a star pattern. Saves brake rotors from warping and saves studs from snapping at the next tire rotation.
Cones, beacons, wheel chocks, and proper lane positioning on Parker Rd, Founders Pkwy, and the E-470 shoulder. You are not standing in traffic while we work.
We check spare tread depth, sidewall condition, and inflation pressure before it touches your hub. A bald or dry-rotted spare gets flagged with an honest call on whether to drive or tow.
Aftermarket locking sets handled with extractor tools, with no broken studs and no dealership trip required. Bring the key if you have it; we work around it if you do not.
Most swaps wrap in 15 to 20 minutes once we are on scene, including the safety setup and the post-swap check on the other three tires. Faster on driveway calls without traffic management.
If the spare is unsafe or you do not have one, we flatbed you straight to Discount Tire, Big O, or the dealer of your choice. One call, one truck, no second dispatch.
Why we always torque, never impact-gun.
Over-torqued lug nuts warp brake rotors, strip studs, and make the next tire change a nightmare. Under-torqued lugs back out on the highway. We carry a calibrated torque wrench and tighten to the spec printed on the door jamb of every vehicle we touch.
It's a five-second detail that separates a roadside professional from someone with a tire iron. We use it on every swap.
- Manufacturer spec
Pulled from the door-jamb sticker. No guessing.
- Star-pattern tightening
Prevents warped rotors and uneven seating.
- Lock-lug compatibility
Bring the key, or we work around most aftermarket sets.
- Stud inspection
We check for stretched or damaged studs before re-mounting.

Flat $85 to swap your spare. Torque included.
A roadside tire swap should be one number: trip + labor + proper torque, done. We don't add a "jack fee," a "highway-shoulder surcharge," or a "lug-key handling charge." $85 flat during normal hours covers the swap, the torque-to-spec, and the inspection of your other three tires before we leave.
Example: a curb-strike blowout in the Parker King Soopers lot last week. $85 flat. Driver brought cones, jack, and a calibrated torque wrench; mounted the spare, torqued to the door-jamb spec, and confirmed the other three were safe. Exact quoted number on the receipt.
Door-jamb spec on every wheel. No warped rotors, no stripped studs.
E-470 or Founders Pkwy shoulder calls priced the same as a driveway.
If we have to flatbed you to a tire shop, we don't double-charge the trip.
Aftermarket sets and missing keys covered by the standard rate.
Simple, fast, no surprises.

Quick answers.
What if I don't have a spare tire in the trunk?+
Plenty of newer cars (especially BMWs, Audis, and base-trim Hyundais) skip the spare entirely and ship with a sealant kit instead. We flatbed you to the nearest tire shop (Discount Tire, Big O, or the dealer of your choice) at the standard tow rate.
Can you change a tire safely on a busy road like Parker Road or I-25?+
Yes, with proper cones, hazard placement, and wheel chocks. The decision really comes down to whether there's a usable shoulder and how far the tire is from the travel lane.
On a wide breakdown lane along Parker Road or a Highway 86 pull-off, a roadside change is the right call. On a narrow stretch of I-25 with no shoulder, a blind curve outside Sedalia, or any spot where passing traffic is within six feet of the driver's door, the safer play is a short tow to the nearest parking lot. Activate Towing makes that judgment on arrival and tells you which option keeps everyone alive.
- Wide shoulder, clear sightlines:
- Change on site, usually wrapped in 20 minutes including cones and torque check.
- Narrow shoulder, high-speed traffic:
- Short tow to the nearest gas station or commercial parking lot, then swap.
- Blind curve or hill crest:
- Always tow first, no exceptions. State Patrol agrees with this one.
- Two flats or sidewall damage:
- Flatbed to a tire shop since one spare won't get you home.
Either way, the price is quoted before any work starts, and the safer of the two options usually costs the same or less than a roadside change gone wrong.
What about run-flat tires?+
Run-flats can usually be driven 50 miles at 50 mph after pressure loss, so a tow isn't always needed. If yours is fully blown, has sidewall damage, or showed pressure loss hours ago, the safer call is a flatbed to a shop that stocks the right replacement.
Do you sell or carry replacement tires on the truck?+
No. The decision to keep us out of the tire-sales business is intentional. It means the advice you get on whether to swap your spare, plug the original, or tow to a shop is straight and unbiased.
How far can I actually drive on a donut spare without damaging anything?+
Most compact (donut) spares are rated for 50 miles at 50 mph max, and ABS and stability control can act unpredictably above that speed. We'll remind you on the call so you don't accidentally cook a wheel bearing trying to make it home from Castle Rock.
Will you torque my lug nuts properly, or just hit them with an impact gun?+
Calibrated torque wrench, every time, to the spec printed on the door jamb. Impact guns over-torque, warp brake rotors, and strip studs, and we won't put a customer in that situation just to save 30 seconds.
Pick up the phone. we'll handle the rest.
