Booking a car service is not the hard part. The hard part is knowing what to ask before you drop the keys off, especially if you’re trying to avoid surprise calls and confusing recommendations.

If you have been rolling around on one longer than you planned, there are a few reasons to take it seriously before it turns into a second problem. Common Reasons Drivers End Up On The Spare Most spare-tire situations start with something simple, a nail in the tread, a pothole hit, or a slow leak you did not notice until the tire was too low. Sometimes the tire looks fine from the outside, but the sidewall is damaged, and it cannot safely hold pressure anymore.
