2. How do I get my car vacuumed?

Take it in for an oil change and request that they vacuum the interior.   If you have a more immediate need to vacuum the interior, pull up in front of our office at 107 NE 6th Street and borrow our shop vac.

3. What do I do if I get a flat tire?

It all depends on the severity of the flat and the distance to a mechanic shop: 

• If your tire is a bit low on air, but not quite flat, drive to the nearest repair shop. 
• If the tire is completely flat, feel free to change it yourself using the vehicle's jack and spare tire. Once changed, drive to the nearest mechanic shop for repair.  
• If you have never changed a tire and need assistance, call a tow company.
  See the vendor list for  suggested tow companies and tire shops.
