The Service Center at Spitzer Chevrolet North Canton

Your Chevrolet is an investment in transportation. To keep it running smoothly, it needs routine service and maintenance. While our service center can help with routine maintenance and repairs, you might need to know how to take care of your vehicle while on the road.

Keeping your tires inflated, checking tire pressure, and inspecting them for wear and tear helps lengthen the life of your tires. Drivers also benefit from learning how to fix a flat tire, especially when they have a flat and end up on the side of the road.

How to Replace a Flat Tire & Use Roadside Assistance

Your Chevrolet comes with the necessary tools for changing a tire. They include the owner’s manual, a lug wrench, jack, spare tire, and lug nut key. When you have a flat tire, slowly pull over to a safe location on the right side of the road. Then, turn on your hazard lights, and apply your Chevy’s parking brake. You can be safe by putting rocks or wedges around the tires to prevent your car from rolling.

Before lifting the car with the jack, remove the hubcap or wheel cover, then use your lug key and wrench to loosen the lug nuts about a ½ a turn. Then, put the jack under the vehicle near the flat tire. Your Chevy will have a protective plastic and notches at the ideal spot for the jack. Follow the instructions on your vehicle’s manual, and lift the car to the recommended height.

Once your Chevy is high enough, loosen and remove the lug nuts and remove the wheel pulling it toward you. Lay it flat on the ground. Put the spare on the lug bolts, then tighten them by hand as much as possible. Lower the vehicle to the ground, and tighten the lug nuts with the lug wrench putting your body weight into it. Put away the tools and the tire, then check the air pressure in the spare tire.

If you are in an unsafe location, you can always call roadside assistance through your OnStar system or call 1-800-243-8872. A nearby service technician can fix a flat tire using your spare. Since spare tires aren’t designed for regular use, it’s a good idea to bring your vehicle to the service center at Spitzer Chevrolet North Canton for tire repair.
