Many newer vehicles ship without a spare, they rely on run-flats or a sealant kit instead. If neither is available, the technician inspects the puncture and recommends either a flatbed tow to the nearest open tire shop or a roadside plug if the damage is in the tread and minor. Laval Tow Truck confirms the option before any work begins.

Roadside Repair in Minutes
How Mobile Tire Repair Works, Plug, Swap or Tow
A puncture in the tread can often be fixed roadside in 15 to 20 minutes using a plug kit and torque wrench. The technician inspects the hole, cleans the area, inserts a rubber plug, and seals it. If the spare is in the trunk, a swap takes 10 to 15 minutes and gets you rolling on a donut rated for 80 to 100 km/h and roughly 100 to 120 km of driving. Head straight to a tire shop after a spare install, it is a temporary solution only.
Sidewall damage, deep cuts, bulges and structural failures cannot be repaired roadside. A sidewall breach means the tire cannot hold load safely, and a spare swap does not solve the underlying problem. When the technician spots sidewall damage, a wrecker rig is routed instead to haul the vehicle to an open tire shop. Many newer cars lack a spare and rely on run-flat tires or sealant kits. If the kit is empty or the run-flat is damaged, heavy-duty towing may be the safest path. Call the moment you feel the vibration or hear the hiss.

Regional Tire Hazards
Why Laval Tire Calls Spike in Spring and Summer
Spring thaw opens potholes across city arterials and major highways including Highway 15, Highway 19, Highway 440, Highway 13, and Highway 25. Freeze-thaw cycles crack pavement and create sudden depressions that catch tires at speed. Summer construction work lays loose aggregate on shoulders and resurfaced sections, leaving sharp flakes that puncture low-profile tires. Gravel sweeping polishes the road surface but leaves behind fine, sharp debris.
Chip-seal stretches on rural routes between Laval and outer service cities are especially punishing. Newer suburban neighbourhoods still shed construction debris from recent development. Unpaved gravel sections on the regional perimeter concentrate punctures during dry spells. Winter salt and gravel programs leave sharp flakes along city shoulders that catch summer tires during the spring thaw.
Highway resurfacing projects narrow traffic lanes and push vehicles onto shoulders where curb strikes and debris hits multiply. The regional footprint means local towing rigs are positioned in Laval, Montreal and Terrebonne so a technician is rarely more than 25 km away. After a roadside repair, plan to reach a tire shop the same day. A spare is a bridge to safety, not a permanent fix. Check Laval service coverage for your exact location.

Laval Tire Change FAQ
No-spare vehicles, donut speed limits, sidewall damage rules, run-flat tire decisions and after-hours tire shop coordination.
Donut (compact) spares are rated for 80 to 100 km/h and 80 to 120 kilometres maximum, roughly the drive across the Laval metro to a tire shop. Hold the speed down even on highways, and head straight to the tire shop without highway side-trips. The technician confirms the limit on the spare's sidewall when installing.
A sidewall puncture, cut or bulge is not repairable. The sidewall carries the load, and any breach risks a blowout at speed. The technician inspects on scene; if sidewall damage is confirmed, the phone operator routes a flatbed instead of installing a spare. Driving on sidewall damage, even on a spare, is unsafe.
Run-flat tires are designed to drive 80 to 100 km/h for up to 80 km after pressure loss. Roadside repair on a run-flat is rarely the right call, most run-flat constructions cannot be patched, and the manufacturer requires replacement after pressure loss. The technician verifies the model and tread code before recommending the next step.
Yes. The technician carries a list of tire shops open late and on weekends across the region and can call ahead so the shop holds capacity. Pricing for a roadside tire change typically runs $80 to $150 in Quebec, with a $20 to $50 after-hours surcharge between 10 PM and 6 AM. The phone operator confirms the rate before sending the rig.
