Quick answer
Salazar Roadside Assistance diagnoses wheel and rim problems at your location anywhere in Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Austin. We dismount the tire, find the leak, clean and reseal a corroded bead on site where that is the fault, and coordinate straightening or refinishing when the wheel is bent or cracked. The rate is quoted before we roll and the $19 flat dispatch fee applies.
Bead leaks look exactly like a slow puncture
A tire that is 8 psi down every Monday morning with no nail in it is usually leaking at the bead, where corrosion under the tire's seating surface breaks the seal. Soapy water at the rim edge shows it immediately.
That repair is straightforward: dismount the tire, wire-wheel the corrosion off the seating surface, apply bead sealer, remount and rebalance the pressure. It is a fraction of the cost of the new tire that shops often sell instead.
Curb rash, bends and cracks
Cosmetic curb rash on the outer lip is a refinishing job and does not affect safety. A bent lip that will not hold a bead needs straightening. A cracked wheel — especially the hairline cracks that show up on the inner barrel after a pothole — is a replacement or a certified weld, never a 'watch it and see'.
We tell you honestly which of the three you have, because the price gap between them is large.
- Bead corrosion cleaned and sealed on site
- Bent lips identified and measured against the opposite wheel
- Cracks flagged for replacement or certified repair, never sealant
- TPMS sensor and valve stem replaced during dismount when needed
- Spare fitted so you keep the vehicle while a wheel is repaired
What we will not do
We will not pour sealant into a cracked wheel to get you out the door, and we will not straighten a structural crack at the roadside. When the wheel needs a shop, we mount your spare and tell you what the wheel actually needs.
How the call works
- 1Call with the vehicle, the wheel that is losing air and how fast it drops.
- 2We quote the assessment and dispatch a technician to your location.
- 3The tire comes off, the wheel is inspected and the fault is identified.
- 4Bead leaks are sealed on the spot; bent or cracked wheels are quoted for repair or replacement.
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
Wheel and Rim Repair questions, answered
Why does my tire lose air with no nail in it?
Nine times out of ten it is a bead leak from corrosion on the wheel's seating surface, or a cracked valve stem. Both are cheap fixes once someone actually dismounts the tire and looks.
Can you fix curb rash at my house?
We assess it on site and tell you whether it is cosmetic or structural. Cosmetic refinishing is a shop process; we coordinate it and mount your spare so the vehicle stays usable.
Is a cracked alloy wheel safe to drive on?
No. A crack in the barrel or spoke can fail without warning at speed. We fit the spare and take the wheel out of service.
Do you replace TPMS sensors during a wheel repair?
Yes, when the sensor or its stem is corroded or damaged. It is the right moment to do it, since the tire is already off the wheel.
