I speak thru experience...
Expect to pay for the drastically inflated tire price, and a drastically overblown expensive dismount and mount charge,(mine was well over 200 for a 16in tire and well over 200 for the servivc) all paid in advance of service provided. Then you will be jumping thru many hoops if you have any misgivings of said service.
Your provider will not provide you with a receipt, in fact they refuse to.
I'd say carry the spare and save time , money , grief and stress. If you are not able to change it yourself, a trooper or good citizen will help you more than good Sam will in that situation in my opinion.
If had success with Sam in a battery jump situation, but I did personally know the provider who was 15 minutes away and showed up in 15 minutes. A five minute job and I had to show the guy where to put the cables on,lol. I'm sure he goosed Sam on that one !
Carry a spare ! A good one! And check it for inflation regularly! And if you lock your spare, make sure lock works and is lubed. Or have your lube ready when Sam is involved, because you will need it, and it won't feel good.
If have no mechanical savvy and love Sam, it's a made in heaven if you have too much money.
