Roadside Problem
My Spare Tire Won't Come Off
Spare stuck under your truck? We have the tools for that.
Typical arrival 20–35 min in Fort Worth
Do this right now
- Stop cranking on the release rod — if it's seized, you can break the mechanism.
- Find your tire iron / T-handle if you have it. Some vehicles need it.
- Call us with the year, make, and model. We know these mechanisms.
What's usually going on
Rust and corrosion, especially on trucks and SUVs 5+ years old. The cable that lowers the spare gets exposed to weather and eventually seizes.
How we fix it
We bring release tools, penetrating lube, and if truly seized, the equipment to safely cut the spare down as a last resort.
