I know many women and more than a few men who couldn't change a tire if their life depended on it. They can't break the lug nuts. Even when jumping on on the lug wrench, not an especially easy thing to do for an older person, the lug nut often refuses to budge. For many years I've kept a short length of pipe in the trunk of our vehicles. It provides an extension for the lug wrench and greatly increases the leverage making it a whole lot easier to loosen the nuts.

I can check the oil and tire pressure and could change a tire if I knew how to get it out from under my SUV. But I guess it's golf cart only since I have no idea how to check the coolant other than looking at the temperature gauge.

That is ridiculous to say you shouldn't be driving

As this is a rental car, there is no tire pressure gauge in the car, so I don't know which tire is low. Of course this sensor light came on around 9:00 p.m., and it was dark outside so I can't visually tell which tire may be getting low.

I checked TOTV for tire repair recommendations. Sumter Tire & Auto in Wildwood was mentioned by a couple of people. I can go there, but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a tire repair place closer to the historical side of TV as that is where I am renting. Thanks in advance.

Schaumburger.... If you just want to keep an eye on the tire pressure...either one of the Tire Choices will gladly check it for you but they are on either 466 or 466A...if you happen to be out and about by either of those areas
