During the Jeff Drennen August Sales Event
A flat tire can affect any driver at any time. It doesn’t matter how smartly dressed you are or how late you’re to your appointment. Mobile attendants from Jeff Drennen Ford offer emergency tire replacement and mechanical help to people in Coshocton, OH. Learning the tips below on changing a tire is also essential for all drivers.
Pull Over in a Safe Place
A flat tire can happen anywhere, but it doesn’t mean you should stop instantly. Avoid stopping near bends, dark, or bushy areas. Drive on until you find a safe place to pull over. Shift into park or reverse gear for manual cars.
Take the Spare Tire and Other Necessary Tools
Loosen the wheel nuts with a lug wrench, locate the proper jacking points, and attach the jack to raise the car.
Remove the Tire
Loosen the lug nuts entirely at this level and put them in a safe place. Remove the flat tire and fix the spare tire. Replace the lug nuts and hand-tighten them before using a wrench for a secure but not very tight fix. Lower the jack to bring down the tire, and use a lug wrench to tighten the bolts slightly.
Lower the Vehicle and Finish Tightening
Once the tire touches the ground, remove the jack and firmly tighten the lug nuts into place. Put back all your tools, including the flat tire, and you’re ready!
