Spare Tyre Installation

What is installing a spare tyre all about?

A customer surprised by a flat tyre may want a mechanic to come out and replace the damaged tyre with a spare tyre.

Keep in mind:

Spare tyres in many vehicles are intended only to be used temporarily until you purchase a new tyre (or set of tyres).

How itā€™s done:

  • Remove the tyre and install a spare tyre.
  • Check and adjust the air pressure in all tyres and adjust as needed.

Our recommendation:

Spare tyres are a great solution when you find yourself with a flat tyre, so you should always keep a spare tyre in your vehicle. If you donā€™t feel comfortable putting the spare tyre on, you should call a mechanic to do it for you.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to install a spare tyre?

  • Tyre is flat
  • Wheel or tyre has damage

How important is this service?

Cars need four tyres to operate. Most vehicles come equipped with a spare tyre in the trunk, just if one of your regular tyres blows or goes flat. If a tyre loses its pressure, you can use the spare tyre as an interim tyre until you get it replaced. Spare tyres may be compact, or doughnut spare tyres that are smaller than regular tyres, and for safety concerns, shouldnā€™t be driven for long periods of time, but they allow you to get your car mobile again after a flat tyre. A full-size spare can also be installed, which can be used indefinitely until you can have your flat tyre repaired or replaced, as long as the spare tyre has tread remaining. Spare tyres are not meant for use above 90 km/hr, so you should not drive your vehicle at highway speeds while itā€™s equipped with a spare tyre, either compact or full-size.

If your vehicle is equipped with wheel locks, a mechanic will need the wheel lock key to remove the flat tyre and install your spare tyre. Keep your wheel lock key readily accessible in your vehicle in the event of a flat tyre.

Great Service from Dee

Dear Fixr Team,

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service I received from Dee, one of your customer agents.

Deeā€™s professionalism and quick response time were outstanding. He provided detailed quotes promptly, answered all my questions with clarity, and ensured I felt confident about the process. His excellent customer service turned what initially felt like a risky decision into a completely positive experience.

To be honest, I was hesitant about using the website at first, unsure if it was legitimate or a ****. However, thanks to Deeā€™s assistance and Fixrā€™s reliable service, I am thoroughly impressed. Itā€™s refreshing to see a platform that truly delivers on its promises.

Thank you for the incredible support. I will gladly recommend Fixr to others and will not hesitate to use your services again in the future.
