Tire Changes

A Flat Tire: It happens a lot more than you may expect. Depending on the situation, the flat tire can range from being a nuisance to seriously dangerous. If you are going at fast speeds, it can be particularly scary when you get a flat tire. Yet, most people do not even have the basic knowledge on how to handle a flat tire situation.

At Glad Towing in Chappaqua, NY, we are committed to our community’s roadside safety. While we will always recommend calling Glad Towing when you are stuck with a flat tire, there are some basic safety procedures you should know.

What to Do If You Experience a Flat Tire

If you get stuck with a flat tire in Chappaqa or the surrounding areas, please give us a call at (914) 458-5115. In the meanwhile, you should get properly prepared by doing the following:

1. Turn the hazard lights on and ensure that the car that needs the flat tire repair is parked in the most level area possible and that the parking brake is on.
2. It is also important to be right off the road to avoid the danger of being hit by a passing car.
3. Check to see if you have a spare tire? The spare tire can be found in the trunk along with the lug nut wrench and car jack.
