How to Change a Flat Tire Near Oklahoma City, OK

The sudden loss of air pressure in the tire of your Jeep Compass or Dodge Durango is certainly a cause for concern. At the very least, it will delay your travels in Oklahoma City. Use this guide provided by our Service Department at David Stanley Chrysler Jeep Dodge to change a flat tire and return to your travels. 

Tools Required to Change a Tire

You must have the right items stowed in your Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Wagoneer, or Ram to change your flat tire for the spare. That being said, the most important component of your kit should be a spare tire at the right pressure and in good condition. You also need a lug wrench to remove the nuts from your wheel assembly. Another must-have piece is a tire jack to lift the side of your car near the outset of the process. Other handy items include your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual, a brightly colored vest to improve others’ visibility of you, a tire pressure gauge or portable inflator, and wheel wedges. If you have all these items, then you’re prepared for a long journey on I-35. 

First Steps of Changing a Flat Tire

The first step to changing a tire is evaluating the situation to determine if it is safe to proceed. You need to find a place that is safe, well-lit, and as far away from moving traffic as possible. It’s a wise decision to pull into a parking lot at a place like Frank Hathaway Park if there is one nearby. If you cannot safely change your tire or lack the tools, then you should call for roadside assistance or have your car brought to our dealership location. Once you’ve located a spot suited to your needs, retrieve the tools listed above. Then, remove your hubcap, if necessary, and loosen the lug nuts on the wheel about half a turn. Next, place your jack in one of the areas designated by the Owner’s Manual and lift the vehicle. You should have several inches of clearance below it. At this point, continue to twist the lug nuts counterclockwise until you can take them off. Put them off to the side, remove the damaged tire, and stow it. 

Finishing Up the Process

Essentially, you will need to reverse the steps to replace the flat tire. Line up the wheel assembly and push the spare until the lug bolts come through. Place the lug nuts on the lug bolts and begin to secure them by turning them with your hand. Once they’re on, lower the Chrysler Pacifica or Voyager a bit, so that the rubber the spare is just slightly contacting the ground surface. Use the wrench to fully secure one lug nut at a time, skipping over every other spot, essentially creating a star-shaped pattern. That ensures the tire is evenly placed on the vehicle. Finish lowering your car to the ground and use your body weight to tighten the nuts once more. Place your toolkit back into your vehicle and bring the flat tire to our shop. If your tire is too damaged to be repaired, then purchase a new pair of them from our available stock of tires while taking advantage of our associated services.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP UNLESS YOU CAN NOT READ…OR IF YOU ARE DESPERATE FOR A VEHICLE. I came with an empty check ready to purchase a vehicle for the price that was listed on their website( I have a print out and screen recording of the listed price if needed) but magically, of course, that same vehicle’s price went up after I drove 30+minutes to this dealership…AGAIN I CAME WITH A BLANK CHECK READY TO BUY…..so this is how NOT to sell a car 101 lol….Anyways if you have made it this far, this dealership has no integrity and I’m sure that future victims won’t read this review and even if it won’t matter because I know that it won’t change any business practices lol but hey…why not try I guess. Again…unfortunately I know that most won’t/don’t have/were never taught the ability to read thoroughly so realistically I get that there will be somebody’s grandmother/grandfather/mother/father/sibling that will get finessed by these desperate bums looking for a quick check. Overall I know my opinion won’t matter lol but atleast I don’t have to wake up everyday lying to people for a small commission check 😂

Had a great interaction with the dealership, and especially salesman London Soltero. He went above and beyond to make sure that everything I needed was taken care of. 100% buying my next truck from HIM. The dealership was by far the best experience I’ve ever had buying a vehicle, and London definitely made it a quick and painless process. STRONGLY recommend doing business here, and highly suggest trying to get London to help you.
