Spare tire change service in Dubuque
The job is your spare mounted where the car stopped, so you can drive on to a tire shop. Before you call, check that the spare is in the car and holds air. Look for the wheel-lock key if the wheels have locking lug nuts. It often sits in the glove box or with the jack. If the spare is missing or flat as well, a replacement tire can be brought out and mounted. That is priced on the call by size and stock. Or the car can be towed to a tire shop from $115.
What is included
Your spare is mounted so you can drive to a tire shop. Wheel locks need their key. If there is no usable spare, a replacement tire or a tow is quoted on the same call.

Waiting safely with a flat tire
Once the car is stopped, put the hazard lights on and leave the jack where it is. Working on a wheel beside highway traffic is the part to hand over. Stay in your seat with the belt fastened. Or, if a guardrail or barrier is within reach without crossing a lane, wait behind it. If the flat came with a crash, if anyone is hurt, or if the car is stopped in a live lane, call 911 first.
Then call (563) 239-6326 with the road and the exit number or nearest cross street. Add which way you were heading and which tire is down. We give you the price and the timing, and nothing is booked until you say yes.
Places around Dubuque not to stop for a flat
A flat where there is no shoulder is the dangerous case. If the car still rolls, keep going slowly to a wide shoulder, an exit or a side street before you stop. A ruined wheel costs less than being hit.
- The Julien Dubuque Bridge. It carries US-20 for 5,760 feet over the Mississippi on a deck 28 feet wide. There is no room to change a tire, so get off the bridge first.
- The Sabula causeway. On US-52, the narrow 2.5-mile causeway between the Savanna bridge and Sabula crosses the Mississippi backwaters. It has little room to pull over, so roll on to Sabula if you can.
- Downtown Dubuque. The left lanes of Locust St. and Bluff St. between W. 7th and W. 8th St. have been closed since Oct. 23, 2025. The closure is for private construction, and the city expects it through 2026. Turn onto a side street before you stop.
- Westbound US-20 at Catfish Creek. Iowa DOT scheduled the westbound bridge over Middle Fork Catfish Creek and the railroad for replacement from spring to late fall 2026. It sits 0.6 mile east of the Northwest Arterial, with westbound traffic down to one lane. If the tire allows, roll past the work zone before stopping.
Dubuque flat tire change price and what raises it
Putting the spare on starts from $92, whether the car sits on Dodge Street or on the US-52 bluffs. Wheel locks without their key, a second flat, or no usable spare can raise it. A replacement tire, when you need one, is priced separately on the call. Every other price is on Dubuque towing prices.

Can I get a flat changed on Dodge Street in Dubuque?
Yes, we put spares on along Dodge Street (US-20) in Dubuque, 24/7. Through the city, Dodge Street has nine stoplights and stays at least four lanes wide. A car that still rolls is better off in a side street or lot than in a through lane. Name the nearest cross street, such as Grandview Avenue or Crescent Ridge.

What if my wheels have locking lug nuts and I can't find the key?
Look for the wheel-lock key before you call; it often sits in the glove box or with the jack. A missing key can raise the price of a flat tire change in Dubuque, which starts from $92. Tell us about the locks on the call, and we include them in the quote.
