It takes about 15 minutes to change a tire. Why in hell wait around when you can have it done and be on your way? I don't get it.
They used to teach it in drivers ed, but I guess they don't even have drivers ed anymore.![Roll Eyes](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

I still hate that nasty metallic oily smell, ie, just yesterday I was at a gas station eating a steak and egg burrito (by the way those are awesome) and some lady by pure chance wanted me walked up to me and ask me to look at her CK because she was experiencing smoke when she turned on the heater. Just looking around in her engine bay and doing a series of quick simple tests, I still managed to get my hands grimey. I went in the bathroom at the gas station, washed them off, but still had that black residue on there. I went to go try and finish my burrito, but a couple of piece managed to fall on me as I was sitting and as any hungry individual does, I picked them up with hands and ate them only to experience that nasty greasy, metallic taste.

But you know, they didn't teach us to change a tire in drivers ed... it should be! Way too many people don't know how!

I actually used the care number 3 days ago and had a great experience. They picked up the phone immediately, and the first question they asked if myself and the car are safe and away from harm or danger? I ran out of gas. I gave her the address and the company came in 45min. Great! I think the point to getting service the quickest is having as much info as possible as to your location.
Oh and for the record, I'm a girl and I've changed one or two tires before.

TLC is supposed to cover breakdowns--including flat tires and such. So regardless of whether or not a person can change a tire, TLC is completely 100% obligated to fulfill their promise. True, they are at the whim of local services... so at the very least they should always dispatch help ASAP and probably even follow up later on to make sure you got the help you need.
If you feel they are not living up to their promise, then present your case to them in a calm but assertive way. I'm sure they will do whatever they can to rectify the situation.

If I ever get a flat tire anywhere (except a residential area), then I will always call someone else, whether it be TLC or AAA, to come change it. I've known 3 people that have gotten hit by a car and killed while trying to change their tire.

I keep a pair of mechanix gloves and a box of disposable medical non-latex gloves in my trunk. Hands never get dirty. I put on the medicals under the mechanix gloves so that my hands stay dry and I don't bust my knuckles or anything.
