Tire Changes
Riverside Towing provides fast, professional tire change services across Davenport, Bettendorf, Eldridge, and the surrounding Quad Cities—24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Our trained roadside technicians arrive quickly, assess the situation, and safely replace your tire using DOT-compliant tools and procedures. Whether you have a blown sidewall, a slow leak, or a shredded tire from hitting debris, we’ll swap in your spare and get you rolling—without delay, damage, or unnecessary upsells.
Stranded on a soft shoulder off US-67? Stuck with a flat in a hospital or retail parking lot? Call Riverside Towing for immediate help. We serve all vehicle types—from compact cars to SUVs, vans, and light-duty trucks—with expert care and a focus on your safety.

Getting a flat tire can be dangerous, especially on high-speed roadways or in extreme Iowa weather. Whether it’s subzero wind chills in January or asphalt-scorching heat in July, a roadside tire change requires urgency, safety, and the right tools. At Riverside Towing, we deliver all three.
From our central dispatch near Indian Road, we reach major routes like I-80, I-74, US-61, and Kimberly Road in minutes. Our roadside teams are familiar with every part of the city—from tight residential areas near Locust Street, to commercial corridors off Elmore Avenue, and even gravel shoulders in Eldridge and Blue Grass.
Whether you’re stuck with a blowout at a Bettendorf gas station, stranded in a parking lot near NorthPark Mall, or flat-tired outside your workplace downtown, we arrive ready to change your tire on the spot—safely and without delay. We carry the equipment to handle passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, and more, and our technicians are trained to perform tire changes without damaging your vehicle’s frame, wheel, or lug system.
Equipment and Techniques Built for Safe, Damage-Free Tire Changes
Changing a flat tire on today’s vehicles isn’t as simple as it used to be. With alloy rims, tire pressure sensors, and low-clearance designs, using the wrong tools or improper techniques can easily lead to scratched wheels, broken sensors, or stripped lug nuts.
At Riverside Towing, our roadside technicians are trained to perform tire changes in Davenport with care, precision, and safety. We use:
- Low-profile hydraulic jacks for safe lifting on uneven or narrow shoulders
- Torque-controlled impact wrenches to avoid over-tightening lugs
- Wheel chocks and stabilizers for secure positioning on slopes or loose surfaces
- Protective lug socket sleeves to prevent rim scratches
- TPMS-safe practices to ensure tire sensors are not damaged during installation
Whether your spare is mounted under a truck bed, inside an SUV, or tucked in a hidden hatch compartment, we know how to access it and complete the change without delay or risk to your vehicle. With 24/7 tire change service in the Quad Cities, you’re never alone when the rubber gives out.
Common Tire Change Scenarios We Handle Across the Quad Cities
Flat tires can happen anywhere—and they’re almost always inconvenient. At Riverside Towing, we respond to tire change calls throughout Davenport, Bettendorf, Eldridge, and Rock Island every day, each with its own unique challenges based on weather, location, and vehicle type.
Here are just a few of the real-world tire change scenarios we handle regularly:
- Flat tire during morning rush on I-74 near the bridge to Moline
- Blown tire in a high-traffic turn lane on Kimberly Road
- Rear tire puncture on a work truck in a NorthPark Mall delivery zone
- SUV with shredded sidewall on a gravel drive near Eldridge
- Low tire pressure warning before a road trip at a Bettendorf gas station
- Tire failure due to potholes after spring thaw near Blue Grass
Each situation demands not just tools, but calm communication and a safety-first mindset. Drivers are often anxious, running late, or in unsafe spots—especially in extreme weather. That’s why our technicians are trained to respond with professionalism, fast action, and proper tire handling for passenger cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks alike.

How Long Does a Tire Change Take in the Quad Cities?
Most roadside tire changes take 10 to 20 minutes once our technician arrives—but several factors affect overall time:
- Vehicle type — Larger vehicles or ones with hidden spare tires may take longer
- Spare tire condition — We check inflation and sidewall integrity before installation
- Weather and terrain — Ice, rain, or uneven ground may slow the process for safety
- Location — Changes on busy routes like I-74 require extra traffic precautions
In most cases, we can arrive within 20–30 minutes anywhere in Davenport, Bettendorf, or Eldridge—faster during off-peak hours.
Tire Change Support for Hybrids, SUVs, and Light Trucks
Modern vehicles are built differently—and so is our approach. Whether you drive a hybrid with regenerative braking, an SUV with rear-mount spares, or a light-duty pickup, we have the experience and equipment to complete the change without issue.
We routinely assist drivers with:
Low-profile or run-flat tires

Tire Changes: Frequently Asked Questions
Who can I call for a flat tire in Davenport?
You can call Riverside Towing at (563) 449-2367 for 24/7 flat tire service anywhere in Davenport, Bettendorf, Eldridge, or the Quad Cities. We dispatch trained technicians with professional tools to safely change your tire on the spot—whether you’re stuck at work, home, or on the side of I-80 or US-61.
How long does it take to change a tire roadside?
Most tire changes take 10 to 20 minutes once our technician arrives. Factors like your vehicle’s make and model, the location of your spare, and current weather or traffic conditions can impact timing. In most areas of the Quad Cities, we can arrive within 20–30 minutes.
Can you change a tire without a spare?
Yes. If you don’t have a usable spare tire, we can tow your vehicle to a nearby tire shop or service center. Riverside Towing also works with local mechanics and tire suppliers in Davenport and Bettendorf to help coordinate your next step if needed.
Are tire changes covered by roadside assistance?
Many roadside assistance policies do include tire change services, but coverage varies by provider. We provide receipts and service documentation so you can request reimbursement through your insurance or roadside membership if applicable.
Is it safe to change a tire on the highway?
Changing a tire on highways like I-74 or I-80 is dangerous without proper training and equipment. That’s why Riverside Towing’s roadside technicians follow strict Iowa DOT safety protocols, including use of high-visibility gear, cones, and traffic awareness procedures to perform safe tire changes on high-speed roadways.
What vehicles do you provide tire change services for?
We provide roadside tire changes for:
Passenger cars and sedans
SUVs and crossovers
Pickup trucks and light-duty work vehicles
Hybrids and electric vehicles with TPMS
Commercial delivery vans and fleet vehicles
No matter what you drive, we have the tools and expertise to change your tire safely and get you moving again.
What should I do if my tire goes flat while driving in Davenport?
If your tire goes flat while driving, slow down gradually and steer to a safe location—preferably a wide shoulder, parking lot, or side street away from traffic. Turn on your hazard lights, avoid driving on the flat if possible, and call Riverside Towing at (563) 449-2367. Our technicians can reach most areas in Davenport, Bettendorf, or Eldridge within 20–30 minutes, and we’ll change your tire safely on the spot.
