Quick answer
Salazar Roadside Assistance repairs punctured tires at your location anywhere in DFW. Tread punctures up to about a quarter inch can be plugged and patched from the inside and driven on normally. Sidewall and shoulder damage cannot be repaired safely and we will tell you so on arrival.
What can and cannot be repaired
Industry practice is clear: punctures in the tread area, no larger than about 1/4 inch, in a tire with adequate remaining tread, can be repaired. Punctures in the sidewall or the shoulder cannot — the flexing there will work any repair loose.
We inspect before we quote. If the tire is not safely repairable we say so rather than sending you off on a patch that will fail on I-635.
Why a plug-and-patch beats a string plug
A string plug pushed in from outside is a temporary fix. A combination repair unit is installed from inside the tire, sealing the injury and the inner liner together — that is a permanent repair the tire industry recognises.
- Tire dismounted and inspected inside
- Injury reamed and cleaned
- Combination plug-patch installed from inside
- Bead reseated and balanced pressure set
- TPMS sensor checked before remount
- Old repair inspected if the tire has been fixed before
How the call works
- 1Call and tell us the vehicle, the tire position and what you can see stuck in it.
- 2We quote the repair and dispatch the nearest technician.
- 3The tire is inspected on arrival and we confirm it can be safely repaired.
- 4The puncture is repaired from inside, pressure is set to the door placard, and you drive away.
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 Repair questions, answered
How long does a mobile tire repair take?
Usually about twenty minutes on site once the technician arrives.
Can you repair a sidewall puncture?
No. Sidewall and shoulder damage cannot be repaired safely at any shop. In that case the honest options are a spare, a replacement tire or a tow.
Is a repaired tire safe at highway speed?
A correctly installed internal plug-patch in the tread area is a permanent repair and safe at normal highway speeds.
Can you repair run-flat tires?
Sometimes. It depends on the manufacturer and whether the tire was driven on while deflated. We inspect and tell you honestly.
How much does mobile tire repair cost?
Plug and patch repairs are $35-$45, plus the flat $19 dispatch fee. If the tire cannot be repaired safely, mounting your spare is $75 in labor and a delivered replacement tire runs $129-$189 installed. No after-hours premium.
Do you repair tires overnight?
Yes, 24/7 at the same flat rate. Most tire shops close by 9pm, so overnight punctures are a big share of our volume — we come to the driveway, garage or shoulder and finish in about twenty minutes.
