Frequently asked questions
Everything drivers usually ask before booking a mobile tire change. Don't see your question? Ask us directly.
How much does a mobile tire change cost in Ottawa?
An on-rim tire change (swapping tires already mounted on rims) is $99.95. An off-rim tire change, which includes mounting and balancing, is $249.95. Both prices include lug nut torquing, rotation, a pressure check, and a visual safety inspection.
Do you really come to my house for a tire change?
Yes. On The Go Tire Change is a fully mobile service: we bring the equipment to your driveway, office parking lot, or curbside, so you don't need to visit a shop or wait in a waiting room.
How long does a mobile tire swap take?
Most on-rim tire changes take about 30 minutes per vehicle. Off-rim changes that require mounting and balancing take a bit longer. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.
What's the difference between an on-rim and off-rim tire change?
On-rim means your seasonal tires are already mounted on their own separate rims, so we simply swap the wheels. Off-rim means the tires aren't mounted yet, so we mount them onto your rims and balance them as part of the service.
Do you offer seasonal tire storage?
Yes. We offer tire storage for $79.95/month, which includes free pickup from your home and camera-monitored, dry storage until your next seasonal swap.
What areas does On The Go Tire Change service?
We serve Ottawa and the surrounding area (including Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Nepean, and Stittsville) as well as the Greater Toronto Area (including Toronto, North York, Vaughan, Oakville, and Burlington), plus Collingwood and Wasaga Beach. See the full list.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, On The Go Tire Change is fully licensed, insured, and bonded. We're a Canadian, family-owned business operating since 2021.
Can I book a same-day tire change?
Same-day appointments are often available depending on our schedule and your location. Book online and we'll confirm the soonest available time.
Do you sell new tires?
Yes. We source new tires with free driveway delivery, and can install them the same visit.
Do I need to be home during the appointment?
As long as we have access to your tires and vehicle, you don't need to be home for the entire appointment, many customers leave their tires and keys accessible and go about their day.
