AAA Spare Tire Installation

What’s included with AAA Spare Tire Service?

Whenever you get a flat, an expert AAA technician will come out to install or reinflate your vehicle’s spare tire. If an inﬂated spare isn’t available, or if the technician deems the existing spare unsafe, you can have your vehicle towed to an approved facility (within your Membership towing distance) to get the tire repaired or replaced. Your covered towing distance will depend on your AAA Membership plan.
