How to Get Rescue for a Flat Tire?
2 Answers
You can consult the technicians at the shop where you regularly get maintenance, or ask friends who are knowledgeable about cars. Insurance companies usually offer free towing services. Simply call your insurance company directly. You can also contact a towing service yourself. If your car breaks down on an elevated highway or even on the ramp of an elevated highway, you must contact the road administration towing service.
I'm an experienced driver. If a tire goes flat, the first thing to do is find a safe spot to pull over and turn on the hazard warning lights. Never stop in the middle of a highway. Then engage the parking brake, shift to P (Park), and place a warning triangle at least 50 meters behind the car to prevent rear-end collisions. Next, check the tire condition: If it's just a simple puncture, you might consider changing to the spare tire yourself. Open the trunk, take out the jack and wrench, first loosen the lug nuts slightly, then slowly lift the car with the jack, ensuring it's stable. When removing the flat tire and installing the spare, make sure the spare has sufficient air pressure, and tighten the lug nuts in sequence after installation. After changing to the spare, drive slowly to a repair shop for inspection. If you don't have a spare or the tire is severely damaged, don't risk doing it yourself—call for roadside assistance like your insurance company or AAA service, as they can quickly send a tow truck or help resolve the issue. Remember to regularly check tire wear and pressure—prevention is the most cost-effective approach. Safety first: always ensure your own and others' safety during any rescue operation.
