Safety Protocols During Service – Sparky X Mobile Tire Shop
At Sparky X Mobile Tire Shop, safety is our top priority — for our customers, their vehicles, and our technicians. Whether we’re performing a mobile tire change, rotation, repair, or new installation, every step of our process follows strict safety guidelines that meet or exceed industry standards set by organizations like the Tire Industry Association (TIA).
This page outlines the safety protocols we follow during service so you can have peace of mind knowing your vehicle is in expert hands.
1. Vehicle & Work Area Safety
Secure Work Zones – Before starting service, our technicians inspect the area to ensure it is safe, level, and stable. We avoid high-traffic roadways whenever possible and use cones/markers when needed.
EV & Tesla-Safe Practices – For Tesla and EV customers, we use protective pads and lifting points to prevent battery or frame damage.
Parking Brake & Wheel Chocks – We always apply the parking brake and use wheel chocks to keep the vehicle from moving unexpectedly.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Our technicians are equipped with:
Safety gloves to prevent cuts and pinches
Eye protection during tire inflation or cutting tasks
Steel-toe safety footwear for protection from dropped tools or wheels
Reflective vests when working in public or roadside areas
3. Tire & Wheel Handling Safety
Proper Lifting Techniques – We use dollies and leverage tools when handling heavy tires to prevent injury.
Tire Inflation Cages – When needed, tires are inflated inside certified safety cages to minimize risk of blowouts.
Correct Torque Application – All lug nuts are torqued to manufacturer specifications using calibrated torque wrenches.
4. TPMS & Sensor Protection
Sensor-Friendly Procedures – When removing or installing tires, we follow careful bead-breaking techniques to avoid damaging TPMS sensors.
Relearn & Reset – Where required, TPMS sensors are reset and verified with diagnostic tools before returning the vehicle.
5. Hygiene Protocols
For customer safety and comfort:
Contactless payments and digital receipts available
Gloves worn for all vehicle contact points (steering wheel, keys, door handles)
Surfaces wiped down when necessary
6. Environmental Safety
Eco-Friendly Disposal – Used tires and damaged casings are disposed of according to Ontario recycling standards.
Leak Prevention – Sealants, lubricants, and other service materials are handled with care to prevent spills on your property.
7. After-Service Safety Checks
Double Verification – Every service concludes with a re-check of torque, inflation, and valve condition.
Road-Ready Confirmation – We ensure tires meet vehicle manufacturer minimum specifications for load and speed rating.
Retorque Advisory – Customers are advised to have wheels retorqued after 80–100 km for added safety. Sparky X can provide on-site re-torque for a small convenience fee.
8. Insurance & Certification
Certified Tire Technicians – All Sparky X staff are trained according to TIA standards and maintain ongoing education.
Insured Service – Our business is fully insured, protecting you and your vehicle during every service.
