Flat tires around Covington tend to happen on I-12, on the busy US-190 corridor or on the two-lane roads heading north toward Folsom. Book a tire change in the Hopper app and a driver comes to put your spare on wherever you've pulled over.
If you're on a narrow road with no shoulder, move to a driveway, side street or parking lot if you can do it slowly and safely. It makes the change faster and much safer for everyone.
Covington's oak-lined streets and older neighborhoods can have uneven pavement and roots pushing up near the curb. If you notice a tire losing air slowly, check it before you get on I-12 or the Causeway.
What to expect
A tire change means a driver comes to your car and swaps the flat for your spare. Before you book, check that you have a spare and that it holds air, and look for the wheel lock key if your wheels use locking lug nuts. If you're on a busy road, turn on your hazards and wait somewhere safe away from traffic, not beside the car.
A tip for Covington drivers
If you're in a subdivision or on a rural road north of Covington, drop your pin exactly where the car is. Street numbers can be hard to see from the road.
