Quick answer
Salazar Roadside Assistance handles flat tires anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, 24 hours a day. On arrival we determine whether the tire can be repaired, needs your spare, or is simply low on air, and we do that job — you are not charged for a service the tire did not need.
Stay safe first
Get fully onto the shoulder or into a parking area before you stop, put the hazards on, and stay belted inside the vehicle if you are on a highway. Standing beside a car on I-30 at night is the real danger, not the flat.
What causes most DFW flats
Construction debris is the leading cause across the Metroplex. Roofing screws and nails from truck beds, expansion-joint edges and pothole impacts after heavy rain account for most of what we pull out of tires.
- Roofing nails and screws in the tread
- Debris punctures on I-30, I-35 and I-635
- Pothole and curb impacts
- Valve stem and TPMS leaks
- Slow leaks from bead corrosion
- Heat-related pressure loss in summer
How the call works
- 1Get to a safe spot, hazards on, and call with your location and vehicle.
- 2Tell us what you can see — visible object, sidewall bulge, or just a low warning light.
- 3The technician inspects the tire on arrival and confirms the right fix.
- 4We repair, install your spare, or air it up and set pressures — then you drive off.
Straight answers
What we can and cannot fix on the roadside
Most companies leave this off their site. Knowing it before you call saves you a wasted trip and a wasted fee.
Done at your vehicle
- Diagnosing whether the tire is repairable before any money is spent
- Tread punctures plugged or patched on site
- Installing your spare and torquing to spec
- Air-up and pressure check when the tire is simply low, not punctured
- Wheel-lock and stripped-lug removal when the nut will not come off
Not a roadside job
- Repair sidewall damage or a tire with a visible bulge
- Guarantee a repair on a tire that ran flat and overheated
- Machine-balance or align the vehicle on the roadside
Limits worth knowing before you call
- If the spare has been under the vehicle for years, it is often flat too — we bring air either way.
- Some tread punctures sit too close to the shoulder to patch safely; we will show you where the line is.
- Torque specs matter. We re-torque after the wheel is seated and tell you to re-check at 50 miles.
Minute by minute
What happens from the moment you call
Timings are averages from our own completed jobs, not promises. The dispatcher gives you a real window on the call.
Minute 0
Call in with your location, vehicle and what you can see — object, bulge or just a warning light.
Minute 1-2
Technician assigned, price band confirmed for repair, spare install or replacement.
About 30 minutes
Arrival, cones out, tire inspected with the wheel still on where possible.
On site
We do the job the tire actually needs — you are not charged for a service it did not need.
Staying safe while you wait
- Pull as far off the travel lane as the shoulder allows, hazards on, wheels turned away from traffic.
- At night, stay belted inside the vehicle with the doors locked — standing on a DFW shoulder is the real danger, not the breakdown.
- Give dispatch your direction of travel plus the nearest exit or mile marker; on a divided highway the wrong side costs 15 minutes.
- If you are in a live lane and cannot move, call 911 first — they can close the lane, and we cannot.
Straight answer
Do you service my vehicle?
Yes for cars, SUVs, light trucks, EVs, commercial vans and diesel pickups. No for motorcycles and semis — we say so up front instead of sending a truck that cannot help.
Yes, we service these
- Electric vehicles. Teslas, hybrids and EVs — 12-volt battery service, tire work and lockouts, handled with the correct jack points and no tow needed for most calls.
- Commercial vans and fleet trucks. Cargo vans, box trucks and work fleets. Give dispatch the fleet or unit number and we bill the job the same flat way.
- Diesel and heavy-duty pickups. Commercial-grade jump packs and heavy-duty tire tooling ride on the truck, so a three-quarter-ton diesel is a first-trip job.
- Cars, SUVs and light trucks. The everyday roadside call — tires, batteries, jump starts, fuel and lockouts, at whatever lot or shoulder you are sitting in.
No, we do not take these
- Motorcycles. We do not take motorcycle roadside calls. Tell the dispatcher and we will point you to a motorcycle-equipped operator instead of sending a truck that cannot help.
- Semi tractors and heavy equipment. Class 8 trucks, trailers and construction equipment need heavy-duty recovery, which is a different trade and a different truck.

Answers
Flat Tire Assistance questions, answered
Should I keep driving on a flat to get somewhere safer?
Move only far enough to be out of live traffic. Driving on a fully deflated tire destroys the sidewall and turns a repairable tire into a replacement.
Do you come out for a slow leak?
Yes. A slow leak is often a valve stem or a small tread puncture, and both are repairable on site.
Will you fix it or just change it?
Whichever the tire needs. Tread punctures get repaired; sidewall damage gets the spare or a replacement.
Do you carry replacement tires?
We can source common sizes. Give us the size from the sidewall when you call.
How much is flat tire assistance?
Quoted on the phone before dispatch, with no night or weekend surcharge.
