Flat tire in Cary? Call (919) 230-4498. WTF Towing comes to you 24/7, puts your spare on, and gets you moving — and if there’s no spare, we tow you to a tire shop.
Flats happen at the worst places: the shoulder of US-1 at rush hour, a dark stretch of Tryon Road, the far corner of a parking lot at Park West Village with kids in the back seat. Changing a tire yourself is fine in a driveway. On a highway shoulder, with traffic passing at 70 mph, it’s one of the most dangerous things a driver can do. Let us do it.
What our roadside tire service includes
- Spare tire installation — we jack the vehicle safely, remove the flat, mount your spare, and torque the lugs.
- A quick check of the spare’s pressure and condition before you drive on it.
- Tow to a tire shop if you have no spare, if the spare is flat too, or if the wheel or rim is damaged.
- Run-flat and TPMS guidance — many newer cars, including most BMWs and many EVs, ship with no spare at all. We’ll tell you your options.
When a tire change becomes a tow
No spare. A donut spare that’s been flat in the trunk for years. A bent rim from a pothole. A blowout that damaged the fender. Two flats at once (it happens on debris). In any of those cases we’ll load the vehicle on the rollback and take it to a tire shop of your choice — or one we trust in Cary, Apex or Raleigh if you don’t have one — instead of leaving you on the shoulder.
How it works
- Call (919) 230-4498 with your location and whether you have a spare. A cross street or exit number is enough.
- We quote the price upfront and give you a real ETA.
- If you’re on a highway, get as far right as you can, hazards on, and stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on until the driver arrives.
- We change the tire or load the vehicle, and you’re on your way.
Where we change tires
Everywhere in Cary and the Triangle: I-40, I-440, NC-540 and US-1 shoulders, Cary Parkway, Kildaire Farm Road, Davis Drive and NC-55, the shopping lots at Crossroads, Fenton and Waverly Place, RDU parking lots, office parks in RTP and Morrisville, and driveways from Preston to Holly Springs.
Keep your spare ready
Check the spare’s pressure every few months — a spare loses air sitting in the trunk. Make sure the jack and lug wrench are actually in the car, and know whether your car has a spare at all. If it doesn’t, keep our number handy.
Tire change questions
Do you sell tires?
No — we install your spare, or tow you to a tire shop. We can recommend shops in Cary, Apex and Raleigh.
What if I don’t have a spare?
We tow you to a tire shop. Many newer cars and most EVs ship without one, so this is a common call.
Can you change a tire on the highway?
Yes, and we’d rather you let us. Highway-shoulder tire changes are dangerous for drivers; our trucks carry lighting and we set up a safety zone.
How much does a roadside tire change cost in Cary?
We quote it upfront when you call, based on where you are. There’s no charge for asking.
