Separate a street address from a private parking entrance
Near Milwaukee, Damen, North Avenue or Division, describe the nearest intersection and actual vehicle position. Give an off-street lot entrance separately from the business address. Mention whether a garage, locked gate or parked cars prevent access.
Do not arrange a meeting point in a travel lane, bike lane or intersection. If the vehicle is creating immediate danger, call 911 and follow instructions. A safe, authorized pickup location must be established before loading.
Tire service when there is no spare
Some vehicles carry a sealant-and-inflator kit instead of a spare. Whether that kit can be used depends on the damage and the vehicle’s instructions; a large tear or sidewall damage is not the same as a small tread puncture. See the spare and repair-kit guide.
Tell Rick’s whether the tire is flat, the rim is damaged or the wheel will not turn. If towing is required, have the repair destination ready. An accessible spare change should not be booked as tire repair if no usable spare is available.
Choose help for the actual problem
Rick’s offers compatible wheel-lift towing, jump starts, authorized lockouts, usable-spare changes, fuel delivery and assessed battery replacement. Explain the symptoms before selecting a service.
Rick’s does not provide flatbed or heavy-duty towing. Confirm the pickup conditions and vehicle fit. Open 24/7 describes hours, not a guaranteed arrival time.
Questions before arranging service
Is mobile tire repair the same as Rick’s flat-tire service?
No. Rick’s flat-tire service is suitable-spare installation when conditions permit. Describe your tire, spare and wheel condition so an appropriate service or towing assessment can be arranged.
What should I confirm before agreeing to service?
Confirm the service, pickup and destination, vehicle compatibility, access, current availability, arrival estimate and total quote. Ask what could change the price if the vehicle or access differs from the description.

Flat-tire service for a Wicker Park pickup
Tell Rick’s whether the vehicle has an inflated, usable spare and where it is stored. A spare under a vehicle or behind cargo may need additional access. Report a damaged rim, missing wheel-lock key or a tire that will not turn before booking.
A deflated spare, no spare or a large tire tear changes the plan. Spare-tire installation requires suitable equipment and a safe work area; discuss compatible towing when those conditions are not met.
