At-home auto repairs you can handle yourself
Have a flat or a damaged tire? Swap it out yourself with the spare so you can get to our Orlando auto service center to buy a replacement. All you have to do is loosen the lug nuts on your old tire using the wrench (don't remove them completely yet, though). Lift your car using the jack (be sure to put it in the right place – your owner's manual can direct you). Remove the lug nuts and slide the bad tire off, pulling it toward you. Put on the new tire, replace the lug nuts, and jack the car down. Give the lug nuts one more solid tightening before you hit the highway.
Did you know you can get ticketed for having a burnt out headlight? Luckily, replacing it is an easy auto repair. Access the compartment through the engine bad and disconnect the power wires from the old bulb. Attach them to the new bulb – don't touch the glass of the bulb – and pop it into place. Your lights will be shining bright again next time you need them.
