Spare wheel fitting in Brussels: we arrive in 30 minutes
Spare wheel fitting in Brussels – fast response 24/7.
Brussels Car Dépannage has been changing spare wheels in Brussels for +10 years. With 4.9/5 on Google and over 212 reviews, we are the most recommended flat tyre breakdown service in the region. And it's the owners themselves who respond.
You have a flat tyre and a spare wheel in the boot, but you don't know how to fit it? Don't have the equipment? Can't loosen the wheel nuts? Don't panic.
We arrive in less than 30 minutes with our professional equipment. We remove the flat tyre, fit the spare wheel, check the pressure, and you're off. Simple, fast, efficient – even in the middle of the night or on the motorway.
How we change the wheel
We arrive with our professional equipment: hydraulic jack, cross wrench, and everything needed. We first secure your car with chocks so it doesn't move. We lift the vehicle, unscrew the nuts from the flat tyre, remove the wheel, fit the spare, tighten the nuts to the correct torque, and lower it back down. It generally takes 10 to 15 minutes.
We also check the spare wheel pressure before letting you go. Many space-saver spares (temporary spare wheels) are deflated after years in the boot. If so, we inflate it on site.
Quick tip: if it's a space-saver spare (thin and light wheel), don't drive over 80 km/h and replace it quickly with a proper tyre. The space-saver is for emergencies, not for driving for weeks. Go to the garage as soon as possible.

Spare wheel or space-saver: what's the difference?
Many people think all spare wheels are the same. Not at all. There are two types: the full-size spare wheel (same size as the other tyres) and the space-saver (thin and light wheel).
With a full-size spare, you can drive normally. It's just a normal tyre as a spare. With a space-saver, you must limit your speed to 80 km/h maximum and avoid long journeys. The space-saver is smaller and less robust. It's just there to let you drive to the garage to buy a new tyre.
You don't have a spare wheel?
Many recent cars no longer have a spare wheel. Instead, you might have:
- 🔧 A tyre repair kit – Sealant spray + compressor. It works for small holes, but not for major punctures.
- ❌ Nothing at all – The manufacturer relies on roadside assistance.
Don't panic, we have solutions:
→ Tyre Repair – We fit a plug on site if the hole is repairable
→ Car Towing – We take you to the nearest tyre garage
Call us at 0479 89 00 89, we assess the situation and offer you the best option.
💪 Stuck wheel nuts? Can't find the spare? Don't panic. We have the equipment to loosen the most stubborn nuts, and we know where to find the spare wheel on every model.

Frequently Asked Questions
I don't have a spare wheel, what can you do?
If you don't have a spare wheel, we can either repair the tyre on site with a plug (if possible), or tow you to a garage. We explain the options on the phone.
How long to change the wheel?
Between 10 and 15 minutes. We loosen, lift, change, tighten, check pressure. Simple and fast.
Can you change the wheel even if I'm on the motorway?
Yes, but it's dangerous. We set up safely with our equipment (triangle, hi-vis vest, beacon), we work fast. If it's really too risky, we tow you to a rest area.
How much does a spare wheel change cost?
Call 0479 89 00 89, we give you the exact price based on your situation and location. Inflation included if necessary. Rate provided BEFORE service, no surprises.
My spare wheel has been flat for years, can you still fit it?
Yes, we have a compressor in our vehicle. We inflate your spare wheel to the correct pressure before fitting it. It's included in the service, no extra charge.
I don't know where my spare wheel is, can you help?
Yes, we'll find it together. On most cars, it's in the boot (under the floor) or under the vehicle (held by a cable). On some recent models, there's no longer a spare wheel, just a tyre repair kit. We'll explain.
Can you change the wheel if the nuts are over-tightened?
Yes, that's often the problem. Garages use pneumatic wrenches that tighten very hard. Our professional wrench handles them without damaging the nuts. That's why we come with the right equipment.
What's the difference between your service and Tyre Repair?
Spare wheel change is when you have a spare in the boot. Tyre repair (plug) is when we repair the flat tyre directly so you leave with it. See our Tyre Repair page for more info.
