Flat tire?
We drive to you.
Tripp's Tire Service is a mobile tire service handling flats, new tire installs, and roadside tire calls right where your vehicle sits: car, truck, or equipment.
Available 24/7. Standard rates weekdays 6am–7pm. After-hours rates apply evenings, weekends, and holidays.
What I fix
Tap any service for details on how it's done.
Flat tire repair Plugged, patched, or swapped for your spare. On-site, no tow required.
A repair holds up when the puncture is in the tread, where the steel belts reinforce the rubber. A nail or screw hole gets plugged or patched, same visit.
The sidewall and the shoulder (where the tread rolls into the sidewall) don't have that belt reinforcement, and they flex every time the tire rotates. A plug or patch back there is prone to working loose and failing without warning, so if the damage is on the sidewall, the tire needs replaced. No way around that one safely.
A lot of "flats" aren't punctures at all. They're a slow leak from a corroded wheel bead or a worn valve stem. More on that under New tire installs below.
New & used tire installs New or used tires, mounted and balanced at your home, job site, or driveway.
Where a tire's bead meets the wheel, corrosion builds up as a chalky white buildup on the metal. That buildup keeps the bead from sealing all the way around, so even a brand new tire will leak air on a corroded wheel.
Every tire install includes cleaning the wheel and replacing the valve stem.
24/7 emergency roadside Stuck on the shoulder at 2am? I'm on call 24/7.
Blowouts don't wait for business hours. I carry what it takes to get a truck, trailer, or car back moving on the road. A lot of that work happens right on the interstate. If the tire's repairable, it gets fixed on the spot; if not, I've got replacements on the truck for the most common commercial sizes.
Ag & commercial tires Tractors, trailers, and fleet vehicles, sized and handled in the field.
Tubes: some ag rims, especially older or rougher ones, won't hold air reliably without a tube inside. I'll tell you straight when a wheel needs one instead of fighting a tubeless setup that's just going to keep leaking.
Fluid-filled tires: filling tires with calcium, beet juice, or washer fluid prevents the fluid from freezing and adds weight to the equipment, instead of bolting on weights. That extra weight improves traction and stability for pulling and loader work.
I can pump out the old fluid, clean and prep the wheel, install a new valve or tube, and refill them on site.
Tire sensors (TPMS) Diagnosed, scanned, and reprogrammed when the light won't clear.
TPMS sensors sit inside the wheel and run on their own small battery. They corrode, lose signal, or just die with age, usually with no warning besides the dash light coming on. I scan each sensor to find out whether it's actually failed or just needs to be relearned to the vehicle after a tire swap, then reprogram or replace it on-site so the light goes off and stays off.
