Most drivers around Dallas will incur a flat tire at some point, regardless of driving habits. It's one of the hassles of driving, but it doesn't have to ruin your day if you know what to do. And Dallas Collision Center wants you to drive safely.
Speaking of safety, that is paramount when changing a flat tire. Never change a flat tire on the highway or a hill. And always choose a well-lit area, even if that means driving at a low speed to get somewhere safer.
First, check to ensure that your spare is available before starting. Position the jack as instructed in your owner's manual but do not lift the vehicle. Use the lug wrench provided by the manufacturer and loosen each lug nut. Then, use the jack to lift your car and remove each lug nut. Mount the spare and tighten each lug nut before letting the vehicle down. Once completed, repeat tightening each lug nut securely.
