Flat tires can happen anywhere and at any time. In many cases, you can call AAA or a local mechanic to help you out, but in the event that you have limited cell phone reception, you should know how to change a flat tire.
First things first, you should be prepared. Most vehicles come with a spare tire, jack, and lug wrench, so make sure your car has these items. There are also a few things that might come in handy while changing a flat tire, such as a flashlight, gloves, a plastic rain poncho, tire blocks, and a tarp or mat to kneel on. Once you make sure you have these things along for your trip, here’s what you should do in the event of a flat tire.
There you have it! Your spare tire should be able to transport you to your destination, but make sure you have it replaced with a regular tire as soon as possible. Contact our team at Toyota Vacaville if you have any questions about how to change a flat tire.
