Is it normal for a person to be charged for a guy to come out for a flat? I have Platinum and the guy came out checked the tire and it was the valve stem extender that was leaking removed it refilled the tire and put it back on done charged $95. What is the roadside service for to charge more?
Last year while checking tires before leaving an RV Park, a valve stem broke off. Found out it had a crack.
Geico ERS wanted to tow me. I told them it could be repaired onsite. They arranged for a a tire service to come out, but I had to pay the bill upfront. I also had the tire service remove another outside dual so I could install a tpms sensor.
They charged $219+ for a new tire stem, install and labor. I submitted the claim to Geico, and received full reimbursement for everything including taxes.
Geico ERS covers the service call and one hour labor. If I would have allowed them to tow me to a facility for the repair, I could sign and drive. Go figure!
It depends on the ERS contract.
