Tire BLOW OUT!

My girlfriend called me that she her a loud bang while driving her car, and that her steering wheel was shaking as she got off the road.

I quickly called AAA and rushed over to her. We got lucky her car had run flat tires! Otherwise, I do not want to imagine what would have happened with such a large tire blow out.

My girlfriend was definitely frightened, and to be honest, she had her own AAA and could have handled this on her own, but having her call me made me feel appreciative. I was able to be there for her, and help handle this stressful situation for her.

This really showed me that it’s not only great to invest in prevention of problems, but to ensure to have back ups in place.

Having run flat tires allowed her to be able to safely get off the freeway and pull off to a safe area and wait for me to arrive with the AAA tow truck.

Fortunately she had also invested in purchasing Tire/Wheel insurance when she got the car, so she also didn’t have to spend more than a $50 deductible (normally this would have cost her $400!).

Very happy she had invested in this coverage, so this stressful driving moment at least did not also compound into a financial disaster.
