Phone is fastest when you're stuck on a shoulder. Text or pin-drop works for non-urgent swaps in parking decks or office lots. The form below is for general questions, fleet accounts, and the press.

For stuck-on-shoulder calls, please call (786) 551-9398 — forms are best for scheduled swaps, quotes, and fleet questions.
No app download, no account, no jargon. Here's exactly how a job moves through our console.
Hit (786) 551-9398 or text the same number. The on-shift dispatcher picks up — no phone tree, no hold music loop.
~30 secSend a Google Maps pin, an address, or a highway marker. We verify you're inside the active service zone.
~1 minThe closest mobile unit with the right jack point for your vehicle is dispatched. You get a text with the driver's name and ETA.
~15 minDriver swaps the flat for your spare, torques the lugs to spec, and you're back on the road. Card or tap-to-pay on site.
~10 min on-siteWe cover the high-traffic corridors and the surrounding surface streets. Pick your corridor to see corridor-specific traffic patterns, debris hot-spots, and average ETA windows.
Zones A through D — color-coded by dispatch density. Zone A (north corridor) carries the most units on weekday evenings; Zone D (beaches) ramps up on weekends.

The most common things people ask before they reach out. If yours isn't here, just call (786) 551-9398.
A phone call to (786) 551-9398. Voice routes to the on-shift dispatcher in under 30 seconds. Text is safer if you're on a busy highway shoulder — same number. Don't use the form while stranded.
Yes — the line is staffed Mon–Fri 5 PM–7 AM, and Sat–Sun around the clock. Outside the weeknight window (weekday daytime, 7 AM–5 PM) calls roll to voicemail — leave a pin and we'll roll as soon as a unit is free.
Yes. Open Google Maps, drop a pin, hit Share → copy link, and text that to (786) 551-9398. Include your tire size if you can read it on the door jamb.
We stock a universal spare (donut) you can buy outright — see the no-spare scenario page for the full process and the $40 authorization hold. It's usually cheaper than a tow.
We're a mobile dispatch hub at 17600 NW 2nd Avenue, Miami 33169. We don't have a public-facing shop — every job is rolled to your pin. The hub is for fleet pickups and the warehouse.
Yes — ride-share, dealerships, body shops, and property managers all run on monthly invoiced accounts. Email [email protected] with monthly call volume and we'll send a one-pager.
Yes. Driver carries a Square reader. We also accept tap-to-pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay), CashApp, and cash. Booking uses Stripe hold-first ($40 authorization) so your card is on file before dispatch.
We'll tell you upfront — the dispatcher confirms the zone before committing. If you're outside coverage, we'll refer you to a partner operator. We won't roll a unit to a pin that's outside our window.
If you're stuck on a shoulder or highway, the most important steps happen before the driver arrives. Two minutes now can save a fender.
No "press 2 for Spanish" tree. The on-shift dispatcher triages the call directly. If they can't bridge to your language within 30 seconds, they patch a Spanish-speaking driver to your pin.
