The tire was flat and the lug nuts would not budge. The owner called, then texted from the Wingate area to ask if Brian came out that far. He did. The spare went on in the parking lot, and that was the job.
Key Points
- 2003 Chrysler Sebring convertible
- Flat front tire in a parking lot
- Lug nuts too tight for the owner to move
- Spare tire put on where the car sat
- Nothing else wrong was found
The Text That Started It
The owner was having phone trouble, so the call did not go through well. A text followed. The car had a popped tire. The lug nuts were not moving. Did he cover the Wingate area, and when could he come?
Wingate is on his service area list. So this became a mobile tire job.
What He Did in the Lot
Lug nuts get stuck for plain reasons. Rust, or a gun that ran them on too tight at the last tire shop. The fix is the right tools and enough leverage, not a bent wrench.
Once the nuts came loose, the flat came off and the spare went on. The job record says nothing else was found wrong with the car.
The Job Record
What Comes Next for a Car on a Spare
A spare gets you to a tire shop. It is not a fix. Get the flat repaired or replaced soon, and keep the speed down until you do.

Questions
What if I cannot get my lug nuts off?
Stop before you round them off or bend the wrench. Call for help. On this job the owner could not move them, and Brian came out and got the spare on.
Will he come to a parking lot?
Yes. This car was in a parking lot in the Wingate area when the spare went on.
Can I drive on the spare?
Only to get the tire fixed or replaced. Most spares are not made for long trips or high speed. Check the tire itself for its limits.
