Oh no, a flat tire!

Most car owners have had this problem or may have it one day but you shouldn't have to call AAA.


Materials Needed:

• Jack
• Wrench
• Spare Tire

These materials should always be in the back or trunk of your vehicle.
Depending on where you are determines whether or not you need to use hazard lights. If in a parking lot, driveway, or some place that doesn't have a lot of surrounding traffic doesn't require the use of your hazard lights. On the side of a busy street or highway they are recommended.

•  Use your wrench to remove the lug nuts. (You may need to remove the hubcap.) Make sure to place the lug nuts in a pile that won't get scattered.
•  Lift your vehicle using the jack. Different car models may have different places to put the jack, the owner's manual should tell you where the most secure place is to put it. Jack up the car until the tire is at least 6 inches of the ground.                 
• Once the car is lifted you may now remove the tire by pulling the tire straight toward yourself to remove it from the wheel base.
• Put the spare on your car. Line up the lug nut posts with the holes in the spare, and push the spare all the way onto the wheel base until it can't go any farther.
• Put the lug nuts back on. Don't put them on too tight but tight enough to keep the spare tire on and in place.
• Use the jack to bring the car back down to ground level and remove the jack from underneath the car.
• Now that the car is back on the ground, make sure the lug nuts are secure. 
• Make sure you don't leave anything behind. Put all materials back in the back of your car or in your trunk, including the flat tire.
