IN HATTIESBURG.
Need help after a flat tire or blowout? Hattiesburg Towing provides roadside spare-tire changes and towing across Hattiesburg and nearby Pine Belt communities. Call (601) 467-8753 with your location, vehicle details, and spare-tire condition so dispatch can determine the right response.
Roadside flat-tire help in Hattiesburg
A flat tire can happen in a driveway, parking lot, neighborhood, or along a major route such as I-59, US-98, Highway 49, or Highway 42. The first question is whether a usable spare can be installed where the vehicle sits. If it can, a roadside tire change may get you moving again. If it cannot, a tow truck can move the vehicle to the tire shop or repair destination you choose.
Call before trying to lift the vehicle yourself in traffic, on soft ground, or on a steep or uneven surface. Dispatch will ask about the vehicle, the damaged tire, your spare, and the scene. The current arrival estimate and rate depend on the actual location, access, traffic, weather, and equipment required for the call.
A tire change, not a tire repair
A roadside change is generally the right starting point when the vehicle has one damaged tire, the wheel itself appears intact, and the vehicle has a compatible full-size or temporary spare in usable condition. The vehicle must also be in a location where it can be lifted and serviced without creating an unreasonable risk.
Tell dispatch if the spare looks low, damaged, or unusually old; if the vehicle has a wheel-lock key; and if the lug nuts are missing, damaged, or difficult to access. A temporary spare has vehicle-specific limits, so follow the instructions in the owner’s manual and arrange a permanent tire repair or replacement promptly.
When towing is the better next step
Towing may be appropriate when there is no usable spare, more than one tire is damaged, the wheel or suspension may be affected, the vehicle cannot be accessed safely, or the correct wheel-lock key is unavailable. It may also be the safer option after a blowout that caused other visible damage.
Choose a tire shop, dealership, repair facility, home, or other destination before the truck arrives when possible. If you need broader roadside help for a dead battery, empty fuel tank, or lockout, see our emergency roadside assistance service.
What to have ready when you call
- Your exact address, business name, cross street, mile marker, or nearby landmark
- The vehicle year, make, model, color, and which tire is damaged
- Whether you have a full-size or temporary spare and whether it appears inflated
- Whether the vehicle has locking lug nuts and where the wheel-lock key is located
- Any collision damage, low-clearance bodywork, parking-garage limit, or access restriction
Roadside safety while you wait
Move away from active traffic when that can be done safely, turn on hazard lights when practical, and keep passengers in the safest available location for the scene. Do not stand beside the damaged tire in a traffic lane or attempt a repair where the vehicle cannot be serviced safely. If there is an immediate danger, a collision with injuries, a fuel leak, or another emergency, contact 911 first and follow the responding authority’s instructions.

Flat-tire service questions
What if I do not have a usable spare?
If a compatible spare cannot be installed, the practical next step is usually towing the vehicle to a tire shop or repair facility. Tell dispatch whether the tire is flat, shredded, missing, or accompanied by wheel or suspension damage so the call can be planned correctly.
Do you repair or sell tires at the roadside?
This service is for installing a customer’s usable spare or arranging a tow when a roadside change is not appropriate. It is not presented as mobile tire sales, patching, or permanent tire repair. A tire professional should inspect the damaged tire and install the correct permanent replacement.
Can you change a tire in a parking garage?
Access depends on the garage clearance, the vehicle’s position, and whether there is enough safe working room. Share the posted height limit, level, entrance details, and any gate instructions when you call so dispatch can assess the location before sending equipment.
