When a relative had that flat tyre and called roadside assistance, the car was actually in her garage. Luckily she noticed the flat before driving out mid morning… I believe she was told over the phone they can’t change the tyre on her SUV (yes they knew what car she had back then) but she didn’t even think to ask for it to be towed anywhere. Guess by that time she decided it was simply quicker for her to call me rather than wait some more for a tow truck. And since I live very close, I dropped by and changed the wheel for her so all was sweet… Don’t know why just she didn’t call me to begin with…Roadside is better than runflats or getting your hands dirty. I paid like $100 extra with my insurance for it
@Skylarking If they can't do the job on the roadside they tow it for you. You have to tell them what the vehicle is you're getting coverage for so they know what to charge and expect
I don’t pay directly for roadside assistance but I believe my cars are covered under the dealer service and warranty arrangement. Not that I’ve ever availed myself of such services.
I’m also not a huge fan of run flats. Supposedly neither are some BMW owners who’s rims have been known to crack because of their design and the use of those harsh run flats
