Tire Change
Car trouble can seriously ruin your day – especially when you’re as busy as the average Arlington Heights resident is these days. Other than car battery issues, there’s perhaps no type of car trouble more common than getting a flat tire.
One or more flat tires can occur for a variety of reasons. Among them, here are some of the most common:
- You ran over a nail and didn’t realize it
- You hit a curb at a bad angle, causing the rim to puncture your tire
- Your tire treads have worn out and became vulnerable to even small debris on the road
- Your tires were older than you realized and have reached their expiration dates
- You used the wrong type of tires for the season, such as not using snow or all-weather tires during wintertime
As you can see, most of these tire issues can occur practically anywhere, anytime – meaning you could potentially get a flat tire when you have travelled far away from home. We also see a lot of flat tires at people’s places of work when they try to leave to go home, stranding them at work much longer than they expected.
Helping you out of a jam
If you have one or more flat tires – or suspect you have a flat – give us a call and we’ll come to you as soon as we can. If you are in a dangerous situation because of a flat tire, such as getting a flat during snowy weather or at an unsafe stretch of road, please let us know so that we can expedite our service truck to reach you as soon as possible.
Once we arrive, we will help determine the extent of your flat tire – figuring out if it just needs some air or if it needs to be replaced with a spare. If your situation requires you to bring your car to a mechanic as soon as possible, we can tow you to our shop or to a nearby mechanic to get your car fixed and on your way.
