Just about everyone has needed or will need to change a flat tire at some point during their lifetimes. Flat tires can occur when you drive over something sharp, pinch a tire on a curb, or when your tire experiences wear and tear. Whether you have a new or used car, it is important to know how to change a flat tire in order to stay safe and mobile.

Here are the steps you’ll need to take in order to change a flat tire on your used car:

1.       Make sure that you park your vehicle safely on the side of the road or in a well-lit parking lot. Engage your emergency brake to prevent your car from rolling.

2.       Remove the wheel covering with the flat end of your lug wrench (which should be located in the rear of your car).

3.       Loosen the lug nuts with a tire iron (or wrench) so that they are easy to turn. You may need to step on your wrench in order to loosen tight lug nuts. To loosen the nuts, turn the wrench to the left.

4.       Place your car jack on a solid surface on the ground underneath the solid metal of your vehicle. Twist the handle of the jack clockwise in order to raise the car off of the ground. The wheels will rise with the car.

5.       Once the wheels of your used car are off of the ground, loosen the lug nuts even more until they come off of the car. Place them in a secure place where you can find them.

6.       Pull the tire off of the wheel base and lay it flat on the ground (if it’s flat, it can’t roll away). If you are on the side of the road, make sure that the tire is not in the middle of the road where it could cause an accident.

7.       With your spare tire, line up the holes with the wheel studs and slide the tire onto the wheel. Tighten the lug nuts over the tire.

8.       Tighten the lug nuts as much as possible using the tire iron that should have come with the used car.

9.       With the wheel securely in place, lower your used car by unwinding the jack.

At Denham Crystal Chrysler, we’re very familiar with car loans. In fact, we offer car loans to our clients on a daily (even hourly) basis. Therefore, we are able to answer just about every question you could possibly have about how to get a car loan, when to get a car loan, what good car loan rates are, and more. Still, many of our customers are not sure whether or not they should get a car loan when they buy their cars.

Car loans are a safe and convenient way for our customers to easily afford their cars. Here are the Top 5 reasons to get a car loan that we’ve compiled based on our experience giving car loans on a daily basis:

1.       They allow you to have some flexibility. When you go to buy a car, you can either spend all of the money that you have on the car or you can get a car loan and only spend some of your savings (if applicable) on the car. When you are able to keep some of your money for an emergency fund, then you will have more flexibility down the road. Plus, you never know when you might actually need that savings.

2.       Low interest rates. Sure, when you buy a car through car financing, you will have to pay an interest rate on the amount of money that you take out. It may seem like this interest rate is unnecessary and simply designed to make the car more expensive. However, consider the fact that you are actually in a car and not having to rely on friends or family for rides. That small interest rate pays for the convenience of having reliable and safe transportation. Plus, we can show you cars that have such low gas mileage that the interest rate pays for itself.

3.       You’ll improve your credit. Whenever you take out a loan, you will improve your credit if you are able to repay the loan in a timely manner. Therefore, taking out a loan now will increase your credit and allow you to get even lower interest rates down the road.

4.       You’ll get the car you can afford - and that suits your needs. Especially if you use dealer financing, your dealer will make sure that you get a car that not only suits your needs, but also that you can easily afford for years to come.

5.       Low monthly payments. Instead of paying one junk of change up front, we’ll arrange for you to make low monthly payments that fit your budget and lifestyle. Affording your car will be easier than ever with the right financing options.
