Indianapolis Tire Shop's mobile service brings a mount-and-balance rig to wherever the vehicle is stuck — driveway, office lot, or the shoulder — anywhere within the shop's 20 service areas around greater Indianapolis. Call (463) 282-2987 to get the rig dispatched.
The call that starts a mobile visit is usually one of three things: a flat that won't hold air in a parking lot, a slow leak somebody's been ignoring until it's flat in the driveway, or a fleet vehicle that can't afford to sit in a shop bay waiting its turn. The rig carries the same mount-and-balance equipment as the shop floor, just scaled to fit a van.
Dispatch covers all 20 of the areas this shop lists as service areas, which stretches well past the immediate blocks around Meridian Street — the tradeoff is that a farther address means a longer wait for the rig to arrive, so a call earlier in the day generally beats one at closing time.
What gets fixed roadside versus back at the shop?
A flat repair, a used-tire swap, and a new-tire mount and balance all travel fine in the rig. What doesn't travel well is anything needing an alignment rack or a lift — a bent wheel that needs pressing straight, or a suspension issue hiding behind what looked like a tire problem. If that's what's actually wrong, the visit turns into a tow recommendation instead of a fix, sometimes after a temporary patch buys enough time to get there safely.
How fast can the rig get there?
That depends on where the vehicle is sitting relative to the shop and how many other calls are already in the queue — there's no fixed number that's honest for every address across 20 service areas. The most useful thing to do is call and ask directly rather than guess from an average that won't match a specific address.
Is mobile service available for a flat on the highway shoulder?
Yes, though a highway shoulder call gets prioritized differently than a driveway or parking-lot call for safety reasons — expect whoever answers to ask exactly where the vehicle is stopped relative to traffic before the rig heads out.
Do you charge extra for a mobile visit versus bringing the vehicle in?
Pricing for a mobile visit isn't identical to an in-shop price, since it accounts for the trip itself — the specifics are best confirmed on the call for the vehicle and location involved.
What are your hours for mobile dispatch?
Mobile calls go out during regular shop hours — weekdays until 6:30 PM, Saturdays until 4:00 PM — and the shop is closed Sundays, so a Sunday flat is an in-person or tow situation rather than a dispatch.
