If you're pricing out a tire change in Edmonton, the honest answer is: it depends on what kind of tire change you need.
There are two different jobs people mean when they search this:
- A seasonal tire changeover — swapping your winter and summer tires at a shop. You drive there, you wait, you drive home.
- An emergency tire change — you have a flat right now, and the question is who gets a safe tire on your car fastest.
This guide covers both, with reported prices for Mr Lube, Kal Tire, Canadian Tire, and Fountain Tire, plus what a mobile tire change costs when someone comes to you. Prices are as of July 2026 — they change often, so call the shop to confirm before you book.

Shop prices above are approximate, based on publicly reported Canadian pricing as of July 2026 — they are not quotes. Each shop sets its own prices, which vary by location and season. Always confirm directly with the shop before booking. The only prices we control are our own.
One thing to be clear about: these aren't all the same service. The shops do seasonal changeovers at their location — we do them at yours. And the emergency mobile tire change is a different job again: that one is for when your car isn't going anywhere. Comparing them is only fair if you keep that in mind, and we will.
How Much Does a Tire Change Cost at Mr Lube?
Mr Lube + Tires runs a no-appointment model — you drive in and wait your turn. Mr Lube doesn't publish a flat price online; Canadian price guides report a seasonal changeover at around $60 if your tires are already on rims, and around $100 if they're not (mounting and balancing takes more work), with balancing adding roughly $10–$20 per wheel if needed. Your local Edmonton location will give you the exact number.
Fair is fair: if your car drives fine and you don't mind sitting in the queue during changeover season, Mr Lube is a reasonable option.
How Much Does a Tire Change Cost at Kal Tire?
Kal Tire lists its changeover services online and takes bookings by appointment. Canadian price guides report about $14 per tire if your tires are on rims (a swap), and about $40 per tire if they're not (a full changeover with mounting and balancing) — exact pricing comes from your local store when you book. Kal Tire also runs seasonal early-booking promotions.
Kal Tire does solid work. The trade-off is the appointment: during the October and April rush, Edmonton slots can book out days or weeks ahead.
How Much Does a Tire Changeover Cost at Canadian Tire?
Canadian Tire doesn't publish one flat national price — it varies by store. Across Canada, reported prices typically range from $40–$80 for a set of four on rims, and $80–$160 for a set not on rims. Call your local Edmonton store for the exact number, and expect the auto service desk to be busiest right when everyone else needs the same thing.
What About Fountain Tire?
Fountain Tire offers both changeovers and swaps, but pricing varies by location and isn't published online. Your local store will quote you — expect it to land in the same neighbourhood as the other shops above.
What Does a Mobile Tire Change Cost in Edmonton?
Now the other kind of tire change — the one where your car can't get to a shop.
At Shakur Roadside, a mobile tire change is $90–$120. We come to you, anywhere in Edmonton — St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Windermere, Mill Woods, Clareview, the Anthony Henday, the Yellowhead — and mount your spare safely on the spot. The price flexes a little with travel distance, and that's the whole story:
- $0 dispatch fee — the price you're quoted is the price
- 24/7 — 2 a.m. in January counts
- Average ETA 30–40 minutes
- Direct line: 780-264-0758 — no queue, no dispatcher, the mechanic answers
And if your flat is a simple puncture, you may not need the spare at all. A mobile tire repair — plug or patch, done on-site — is $120–$140, and you keep driving on your own tire.
Every job is done by the owner, Mhretab — a professional mechanic, AMVIC licensed, City of Edmonton licensed, and fully insured. Edmonton drivers have left 75 five-star Google reviews.
Tire Changeover in Edmonton — Without Leaving Your Driveway
Yes, we do seasonal swaps too. If your winter and summer sets are on rims, we come to your home anywhere in the Edmonton area and swap all four wheels for $140–$160. No October booking rush, no April waiting room — you pick the time, and the shop comes to you. Call 780-264-0758 to set it up.
When Is Mobile Worth It?
Honest answer: not always.
Go to a shop if: the lowest sticker price is all that matters, your car drives fine, and you don't mind the trip and the wait — a reported $60–$160 shop changeover is fair value. Prefer your driveway? Our seasonal swap is $140–$160: you pay a little more, and you keep your Saturday.
Call a mobile service if:
- You're on the Henday or the Yellowhead. Changing a tire on the shoulder with traffic at highway speed is not a job to do yourself.
- It's -30, it's dark, or you've got kids in the car. You stay warm inside. We work outside.
- You don't have time to wait. No drive there, no waiting room, no drive back. We come to your driveway, your office parking lot, or the roadside.
For an emergency, $90–$120 to have a mechanic at your car in 30–40 minutes usually beats a tow (often $100+ just to move the car) plus a shop bill plus the wait.
