Is there a tyre service open right now in Milan?
Yes: SOS Tyre operates 24/7, so you can call us now, at any time of day or night. You don't need to hunt for an open garage or wait for it to open in the morning: we're a mobile tyre service and we come to wherever your vehicle is.
The number is always the same, +39 377 326 0999, on WhatsApp too. If you prefer, you can fill in the online assistance request with your location, vehicle, problem and tyre size.
What does "24/7" really mean at SOS Tyre?
24/7 means the service runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no time slots excluded. In practice:
- Weekdays: at the office, at home, on the road or in a car park.
- Evenings and nights: when traditional garages are closed. See also how we work as a night-time tyre service in Milan.
- Sundays, public holidays and August: the times when finding a tyre fitter is hardest. You'll find the details on the Sunday and public holiday tyre service page.
We're available around the clock and respond immediately: we set off as soon as you call, tell you on the phone straight away when we'll arrive and get you back on the road in no time.
How do I request help at any time of day or night?
To request assistance, all it takes is a call or a message with a few essential details:
- Where you are: street and house number, or a junction or landmark. On WhatsApp you can send your location.
- What vehicle you have: car, motorbike, SUV, van, electric or hybrid car.
- What happened: puncture, flat tyre, cut, tyre pressure warning light on.
- Tyre size: you'll find it on the sidewall of the tyre. If you're not sure where to look, follow the guide on how to read the tyre size.
- A photo of the damage, if you can take one safely.
With these details we can tell in advance whether the job can be sorted on the spot and what equipment to bring.
What jobs do we do at any hour?
At any hour we carry out the same jobs as during the day, with no "reduced" night-time service:
- on-the-spot tyre repair, when the damage is technically repairable;
- wheel change, fitting your spare wheel or space-saver;
- checking and restoring tyre pressure after the tyre pressure warning light comes on;
- help if you're without a spare wheel.
In an emergency, supplying a new tyre is agreed on the phone according to size and availability. If, on the other hand, you'd like to schedule a non-urgent job, such as a tyre change at your door, you can book it.
Which areas do we cover 24/7?
We operate 24/7 in Milan and its province: in all 9 of the city's Municipi (districts), from Bovisa, where SOS Tyre is based, to Rogoredo, Baggio and Gratosoglio, in every municipality of the Metropolitan City and in those of the neighbouring provinces, from Monza e Brianza to Varese, Como, Bergamo, Cremona, Lodi, Pavia and Novara. In the areas we cover section you'll find specific information for each area, which also helps you describe exactly where you are.
What should you do while waiting for the tyre fitter?
While you wait, your priority is safety, not the tyre:
- switch on your hazard lights and, if you can, move to a spot where you're not obstructing traffic;
- if you get out outside built-up areas, at night or in poor visibility, put on your high-visibility vest;
- place the warning triangle as required (for cars: at least 50 m behind the vehicle);
- don't carry on driving on a flat tyre: you'll ruin both the tyre and the rim.
You'll find the full procedure in the guide on how to stay safe after a puncture.
Frequently asked questions
Does the SOS Tyre number answer at 3 in the morning too?
Yes. The number +39 377 326 0999 answers 24 hours a day, even in the middle of the night. You can call or message on WhatsApp at the same number: we'll ask for your location, vehicle and problem and set off straight away, even at night. We'll tell you on the phone when we'll arrive.
Is the 24/7 service different from the daytime one?
No. SOS Tyre carries out the same jobs at any hour: on-the-spot tyre repair where possible, wheel change with a spare or space-saver, pressure check. And at any hour the response is fast: we set off as soon as you call. Only the external conditions change, such as the light, so we bring suitable lighting.
Can I book the 24-hour tyre service for a specific time?
Yes. If it isn't an emergency, call or message on WhatsApp at +39 377 326 0999 and we'll agree a day and time for the job in Milan together, for example when the car is parked outside your home or at the office. By appointment we also do tyre changes at your door.
Is it better to call or use the online form?
If you're stuck on the road or in a dangerous situation, call: it's the most direct option. The online assistance request form is useful when you're already safe and want to send your location, tyre size and photos of the damage at your own pace; we'll get back to you to confirm.
What do I need to know about the tyre before calling?
It helps to know the size, written on the tyre sidewall (for example 205/55 R16 91V), whether the car has a spare wheel, space-saver or repair kit, and whether the tyre is a run-flat. If you can't find this information, don't worry: we'll check it together on the phone.
