Mobile Tire Service Pricing — How K&W Quotes Jobs
We don't post a price list on the website. That's not evasion — it's honesty. A mobile tire service call to a fleet yard in Edgewater on a Tuesday morning costs a different amount than a semi blowout on SR-528 at midnight on a Sunday. The factors that drive cost are real and significant, and quoting a flat price that ignores them would mean either overcharging simple jobs or losing money on complex ones. Here's what actually goes into every quote.
What Affects the Cost
The dispatch fee is the single biggest variable for smaller jobs — it's a fixed cost that applies whether the job takes 30 minutes or two hours. For single-tire calls, the dispatch fee can represent a significant portion of the total. For multi-tire visits, it becomes a smaller fraction. This is why fleet programs, scheduled visits, and batching work in a customer's favor: you're spreading one dispatch fee across more work. Tire size is the second-biggest variable. 11R22.5 commercial truck tires and large heavy equipment sizes cost more than ST-series trailer tires, both in parts and labor.
Pricing Factors
These variables go into every quote for this service.
Service call / dispatch fee
Every job has a base service call fee that covers dispatch, travel, and equipment. This applies whether we do one tire or five. The fee scales with distance from our Edgewater base.
Tire cost
If we're supplying the tire, the tire's purchase cost passes through to you. Tire prices vary by size, load rating, and brand. Common commercial sizes are stocked; less common sizes may require sourcing.
Labor
Tire mounting, demounting, balancing (if applicable), torque, and bead seating. Labor time varies by vehicle type — a semi steer tire takes longer than a utility trailer tire.
Time of day and day of week
Business hours (Mon–Fri 8a–5p, Sat 8a–12p) are standard rate. After-hours and Sunday calls carry a premium. We tell you the exact premium before anyone rolls a truck.
Vehicle type and access complexity
A forklift cushion tire requiring a hydraulic press is more labor-intensive than a trailer tire swap. Difficult access locations — second-floor docks, soft ground, tight storage facilities — can add time.
Number of tires in one visit
Multiple tires in a single visit amortize the dispatch fee. Five trailer tires at one location costs less per tire than five separate single-tire calls.

Common Questions About Mobile tire service pricing
Why doesn't K&W post prices online?
Because online prices that don't account for tire size, location, time of day, and vehicle type are either fake or unfair. We'd rather give you a real number in 60 seconds on the phone than post a number that's meaningless.
Is mobile tire service always more expensive than going to a shop?
Not always. The service call fee adds cost, but removing towing, driver time, and logistics often makes mobile competitive or cheaper for commercial vehicles. Do the math for your specific situation.
What's the minimum call cost?
There's a base service call fee for every dispatch. We'll tell you what it is when you describe the job. There's no way to give a meaningful number without knowing the job.
Do you charge differently for fleet clients?
Fleet program clients on scheduled service get predictable pricing structured around their program. For emergency calls, fleet clients still pay the service fee, but they get priority dispatch and a consistent vendor relationship.
