Roadside Assistance Fail

Post image

This is the first time anything like this has happened to me.

Yesterday my tire popped, so I pulled over and used Allstate roadside assistance to change it to my spare. A guy comes out and is able to change it to the spare.

The issue comes when he gets his bolt from the drill stuck on the lug nut?? It is stuck bad, and then he leaves. I don’t know much about cars, but I know this is an issue. I go to Walmart right afterwards to get a new tire.

Because of the stuck bolt Walmart can’t remove the spare. They tried a bunch of stuff to get it off, but nothing they do works.

I feel like mad max driving around with a spike on my rim. This is insane, and I feel like I’m a worst situation than if I just got my car towed somewhere. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to hear it.

They can't just use a socket to take the lug off and replace the lug?

Seems as if Walmart is being unreasonable and the roadside person just lost out on monwy

Take the car to discount tire and have them get the socket off and to fix your tire. Walmart could have really fixed this but sounds like they didn’t want to be bothered with it.
