Tire Service Ottawa

Tire service in Ottawa is something every driver needs at some point. A nail on Hunt Club Road, a pothole on Carling Avenue, or a blowout on the 417 during rush hour. When your tire goes, you need help fast. Ontario Towing provides mobile tire service across Ottawa 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We come to where you are and get you rolling again.

Flat tire services in Ottawa

A flat tire can happen anywhere. If you have a spare in the trunk, our flat tire change service swaps your flat for the spare right at your location. No need to get your hands dirty on the shoulder of a busy highway or in a dark parking lot at night. Our mobile tire change service brings a technician directly to you anywhere in Ottawa.

Not every flat tire needs a full replacement. If the puncture is small enough, our flat tire repair service patches or plugs the hole on-site so you can keep driving on your existing tire. We also offer mobile tire repair for small leaks and slow punctures that do not require a new tire. However, sidewall damage and large punctures cannot be patched. In those cases, our flat tire replacement service installs a new tire at your location.

For a general tire change at your location, whether it is swapping a flat for a spare or removing a damaged tire, Ontario Towing handles it quickly so you can get back on the road.

Seasonal tire swaps and installation

Every Ottawa driver knows the fall and spring tire changeover drill. Our seasonal tire changeover service come to your home or workplace and handle the seasonal switch between winter and all-season tires so you do not have to wait in line at a shop. We also offer mobile tire installation where we bring new tires directly to your location, mount them on your wheels, and set the pressure to manufacturer specs.

Tire pressure and maintenance

Proper tire pressure improves fuel economy, handling, and tire life. Our tire pressure check / tire inflation service inspects all four tires, adjusts PSI to your manufacturer's recommended levels, and checks for slow leaks at your location anywhere in Ottawa.

No spare tire? Many newer vehicles sold in Ottawa do not come with a spare tire. They come with a tire repair kit or run-flat tires instead. If you do not have a spare and your tire is beyond a plug repair, you will need either a mobile tire installation or a tow to a tire shop. Call (613) 619-4545 and we will figure out the best option.

Ottawa roads are tough on tires

Ottawa has a pothole problem. Every spring after the freeze-thaw cycle, roads across the city are full of craters. Bronson Avenue, Baseline Road, Merivale Road, and Montreal Road are repeat offenders. A single deep pothole can blow a tire, bend a rim, or throw off your alignment. On top of potholes, construction zones create debris on the road. Screws, nails, metal shards, and broken glass end up on streets around Kanata, Barrhaven, and Orleans every construction season.
