Changing a tire isn’t very hard to do but it does require having the right tools and a spare tire available. But it’s not the only way to handle a flat tire without calling for an expensive (and slow to arrive) Roadside Assistance service or a tow truck to change the tire for you.
Grandpa TJ: I’ve located videos which deal with flat tire fixes. If you are handy with some simple tools, these videos will give you enough information to get the job done for far less cost than a tow service and mechanic.
Remember, you can get personalized help including video chat during your repair if you need it. Visit Grandpa TJ’s Inner Circle for more information on how to schedule a live consultation.
