Quick answer
Salazar Roadside Assistance responds to highway blowouts across Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Austin 24/7. A blown tire is never repairable, so we mount your spare or bring a replacement, then check the wheel, valve stem, TPMS sensor and wheel well for the damage a disintegrating tire leaves behind. Tire labor starts at $75; a delivered tire is $129-$189 installed.
What to do in the first ten seconds
Do not brake hard and do not jerk the wheel. Hold the steering straight, let the vehicle slow on its own, and steer gently toward the shoulder as speed drops. A front blowout pulls hard toward the failed side; a rear blowout feels like a sway. Both are survivable at speed if you resist the instinct to stab the brake.
Once stopped, hazards on, exit away from traffic and call. Tell the dispatcher which corner failed and whether the vehicle was driven any distance afterward.
Blowouts damage more than the tire
When a tire comes apart at 70 mph, the carcass beats the wheel arch, the liner and sometimes the brake line on the way out. We inspect all of it before fitting the replacement, because a new tire on a bent rim will lose pressure again before you reach home.
- Wheel checked for bends, cracks and bead damage
- Valve stem and TPMS sensor inspected and replaced if torn out
- Fender liner and wheel-well trim checked for shredded belt damage
- Opposite tire on the same axle inspected for matching wear
- Torque set to factory spec and rechecked
When the tire cannot go back on
A blowout is structural failure. There is no patch, plug or sealant that puts a shredded tire back in service, and any operator who suggests otherwise is guessing with your safety. We mount your spare when you have one, deliver a matching tire when you do not, and recommend a tow only when the wheel or suspension is genuinely compromised.
How the call works
- 1Hold the wheel straight, ease off the throttle and coast to the shoulder.
- 2Hazards on, exit away from traffic, then call with your location and the failed corner.
- 3We quote the spare mount or replacement tire before dispatch.
- 4On arrival we inspect the wheel and well, fit the tire and torque to spec.
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
Tire Blowout Assistance questions, answered
Can a blown tire ever be repaired?
No. A blowout is a failure of the tire's structure, not a puncture. The only correct outcome is a spare or a replacement tire.
Will you check my wheel after a blowout?
Yes, every time. We look for bead damage, bends and cracks, and check the TPMS sensor and valve stem, because those are commonly destroyed along with the tire.
Can you bring a matching tire to the freeway?
In most common passenger and light-truck sizes, yes. Read the numbers off the sidewall of another tire on the vehicle and we source a match, $129-$189 installed on site.
What causes most DFW blowouts?
Underinflation in summer heat, and construction debris on I-35, I-30, I-635 and the tollways. Both are why we push a pressure check before long drives and after every temperature swing.
