What it’s like in University Park
Student cars can sit for weeks over winter and summer breaks, and a battery that bakes through July may not start the car in August. Errands around Snider Plaza mean many short trips and restarts. Parking near campus is tight, and a car that dies in a permit lot or a garage takes a little more planning to reach.
We cover Park Cities, Snider Plaza, Preston Center and SMU campus and the rest of University Park (75205, 75225).
Before you call from a lot near SMU, check the posted parking rules and tell us about any permit, gate or ticket so the technician can get to the car.
Flat tire change in University Park
Day or night: your driveway, the parking garage at work or the shoulder of the freeway.
What the technician does
- We check that the spare is there and has air.
- The car is lifted on a proper jack point.
- The spare goes on and lug nuts are torqued in a star pattern.
- The flat goes in your trunk, and we tell you whether it can be repaired.
While you wait
- Pull fully off the road or take the next exit if the car still rolls.
- Hazards on; stay buckled in if traffic is close.
- Find the wheel-lock key if your wheels have one.

Questions
01Can you help with a student car parked near SMU?
Yes. Tell us the lot or street and any permit rules. If the car is in a restricted campus lot, we confirm with you that a service vehicle can get in before we head out.
02Will my car's battery survive a summer parked in University Park?
The car will be fine, but the battery may not. Weeks of heat and sitting drain it, so start the car once a week or connect a battery maintainer if you can.
03My car has no spare. Can you still help?
Yes. Many punctures can be plugged and patched on site, or we can bring and mount a new tire.
04Can you change a tire on the highway?
Only where it is safe. If the shoulder is narrow, we may ask you to roll slowly to the next exit or a wider spot.
