Our Services
LeMaire's Towing Salvage & Tire Repair
Delivers a full spectrum of automotive and recovery services across Kaplan, LA and the surrounding communities. Since 1992, we have built a complete local operation that includes towing and recovery, roadside assistance, tire sales and service, oil changes, brake repairs, wheel alignments, mobile tire units, and a salvage yard with used car parts. Our comprehensive services are designed to support private vehicle drivers, farmers with heavy equipment, local businesses with fleet vehicles, and repair shops seeking dependable towing and salvage parts. This services overview explains how each offering works, why it matters, and how our expert team delivers reliable results with safety and transparency.

Why comprehensive services matter
Vehicle owners prefer a trusted partner who can handle a variety of needs rather than juggling multiple vendors. When a single company provides towing, roadside service, tire sales, mobile installation, and salvage parts, coordination becomes simpler, repair timelines shorten, and costs can be managed more effectively. Our integrated approach reduces administrative friction for customers and gives our operators a fuller view of a vehicle’s condition — for example, spotting damaged components during a tow can speed up diagnosis and parts replacement.

Towing & Recovery Services
Our towing fleet and trained drivers cover a range of scenarios:
- Light Duty Towing: Passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks can be transported quickly and safely with flatbed or wheel-lift trucks.
- Emergency Towing: Fast response to accidents, mechanical breakdowns, and urgent needs.
- Accident Towing: Careful handling to preserve evidence and condition for insurance assessments, including secure storage if requested.
- Winch Outs & Recovery: Skillful extraction of vehicles from ditches, mud, or off-road conditions using proper winching practices and anchor points to avoid damage.
Why this matters: A professional tow reduces further damage, handles delicate stabilizations at accident scenes, and manages safe removal in hazardous conditions.


Roadside Assistance
Available 24/7 for common roadside problems:
- Jump Starts: Battery-related issues diagnosed and treated; battery replacement offered if needed.
- Fuel Delivery: Temporary fuel to the nearest station for vehicles stranded without gas. Lockout Services: Safe entry methods to retrieve keys or unlock vehicles.
- Minor Repairs: Temporary fixes like hose clamps or tire repairs that allow safe driving to a repair facility when full repair isn’t possible roadside.
Why this matters: Rapid roadside solutions reduce stress and cost by restoring mobility without towing when feasible.


Tire Sales & Service
We stock and install quality tires for a range of vehicles:
- Passenger Tires: Mounting, balancing, valve replacement, and disposal of old tires.
- Light Truck & Commercial Tires: Heavy-duty options for work vehicles and fleets.
- Tractor & Farm Equipment Tires: Specialized tires and services tailored for agricultural use.
- Tire Repairs: Puncture repair, plug-and-patch where safe, and guidance if replacement is the safer option.
- Wheel Alignments: Correct alignment to prevent premature tire wear and to stabilize vehicle handling.
Why this matters: Correct tire selection and alignment enhance safety, traction, and fuel efficiency, and reduce long-term replacement costs.


Oil Changes & Preventive Maintenance
Efficient, dependable oil and filter changes for routine care:
- Oil & Filter Replacement: Standard oil changes, proper disposal of waste oil, and filter recycling.
- Multi-point Inspection: Brief checks for fluid levels, belts, and obvious mechanical issues that could require follow up.
- Service Scheduling: We can schedule returns for regular maintenance to help owners stay on top of service intervals.
Why this matters: Regular maintenance is one of the simplest ways to avoid breakdowns and extend vehicle life.


Salvage Parts & Used Components
Our salvage yard offers tested used parts:
- Inventory Management: Regularly updated list of available engines, transmissions, body panels, and accessories.
- Parts Testing: Where feasible, components are evaluated to ensure function before sale.
- Matching & Compatibility: Staff help match parts to vehicle year, make, and model to ensure proper fit.
Why this matters: Salvage parts lower repair costs and support environmental recycling by extending the useful life of components.
