Quick answer
Salazar Roadside Assistance handles overnight flats anywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Austin. We mount your spare, repair a tread puncture or deliver a replacement tire between midnight and dawn at the same flat rate as a midday call — tire labor from $75, repairs $35-$45, a new tire $129-$189 installed, plus the $19 flat dispatch fee.
Stay safe first, then call
A night flat on a DFW freeway is a different risk than the same flat at noon. Get the vehicle as far right as you can, past the white line and onto the widest part of the shoulder. Leave the hazards on. If you are on I-35, I-635, the Bush Turnpike or any narrow inside shoulder, get out on the passenger side and stand behind the barrier, not next to the car.
Then call. The dispatcher will confirm whether your position is workable or whether we need to relocate the vehicle before touching a wheel.
- Hazards on before you slow down, not after you stop
- Exit on the passenger side away from traffic
- Stand behind a barrier or well up the embankment
- Do not attempt a jack change on a narrow inside shoulder
- Note the nearest mile marker or exit number for dispatch
What we can do after dark
The trucks carry lighting, jacks rated for full-size trucks and SUVs, torque tools, plug-patch kits and an air supply. If your spare is good we mount it. If the tread puncture is repairable we fix it properly rather than sending you off on a string plug. If the tire is destroyed and you have no spare, we bring a replacement in most common passenger and light-truck sizes.
Why night calls are not upcharged
Overnight work is a normal part of our week, not an exception we bill for. The dispatch fee and the service rate are published and identical at every hour. If someone quotes you an after-hours premium, that is their staffing problem being passed to you.
How the call works
- 1Get to the widest shoulder you can reach, hazards on, and exit away from traffic.
- 2Call with your highway, direction of travel and nearest exit or mile marker.
- 3You get the flat rate and an arrival window before dispatch.
- 4The technician works the tire under lights and you drive off the shoulder.
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.
While you wait
What to do while you wait
Read this before you get out of the car. It is the same guidance our dispatchers give on the phone.
- 1Get off the travel lane if the vehicle still movesAim for the right shoulder, an exit ramp or the nearest lot. A car sitting in a live lane on I-35W or LBJ is the single most dangerous place to wait.
- 2Hazards on, wheels turned away from trafficTurn on your hazard lights before you do anything else, and point the front wheels away from the road so a struck vehicle does not roll into traffic.
- 3Get out on the passenger side and stand behind the barrierIf you leave the vehicle, exit away from traffic and wait behind the guardrail or well up the embankment — never between your car and oncoming traffic, and never in front of the vehicle.
- 4Stay buckled inside if there is no safe place to standOn a narrow shoulder or a bridge deck, staying belted inside with hazards on is safer than standing outside. Tell the dispatcher so the technician knows where you are.
- 5Make yourself visible at nightDome light on, phone flashlight facing traffic, reflective triangle or flare well behind the vehicle if you carry one. Most of our overnight calls happen in poor lighting.
- 6Call 911 first for injuries, fire, a blocked lane or a child or pet locked insideEmergency services outrank roadside service in those situations. Call 911, then call us for the vehicle itself.

Answers
Flat Tire at Night questions, answered
Do you really run all night in DFW?
Yes, 365 nights a year. Overnight calls are a large share of our volume because shops close at 6 or 9 p.m. and freeway debris does not.
Is it more expensive at 2 a.m.?
No. Tire labor starts at $75, tread repairs are $35-$45 and the $19 flat dispatch fee applies, at every hour of the day.
Should I drive on the flat to the next exit?
Only if staying put is genuinely dangerous. Driving on a deflated tire destroys the sidewall and often the wheel, turning a repair into a tire plus a rim. If you must move, keep it under 20 mph and take the first exit.
What if I do not have a spare?
Give the dispatcher the size off the sidewall. We carry and source most common sizes and can bring a replacement to you overnight, mounted and torqued on site, $129-$189 installed.
