Burst tire on 06 Sonata LX

Hit something in the road and burst tire in San Diego. had AAA change it.
now worrying about the wheel. Anyone know where I could buy 17" 5 spoke
wheel, if I need one, without having to take out a second mortgage!! ??

 

EBAY about $100

 

Obvious, but start with the junk yards. Lots of them have computerized
inventories with links to other yards.

Good Luck!

 

Salvage Yards my boy... Salvage Yards. It's an industry today. Check
around too. Though they have an extensive network for locating parts,
salvage yard pricing varies as widely as opinions on the internet. It is
not hard at all to find 2X pricing between yards in any given area for
exactly the same part.

 

thanks for all the input...Wheel was OK.

 

Why did you have AA change it and not do it yourself ?

 

because it was dark, my invalid wife was with me and besides that I pay AAA
plenty a year to do it for me!

How long does one have to wait for AA to arrive and do the "job" over
there ?

 

I guess back when I was your age, they were called "Junk Yards." But then
"Custodians" were called "Janitors" and a "User Access Cover" was called a
"Manhole" : )

Cheers.

Luckily I have not had to use them so far. (Fingers crossed).

I used to resent when people talked to me this way, but now I like it when
someone says "back when I was your age". Many times these people aren't
even older than me, but you reach a certain age where you enjoy being
thought of as a youngster - even if it isn't true.

 

they were there in 20 mins. about the time it would take me to try to jack
up the car with that crappy little scissorsjact that comes with the car

 

My daughter had a flat a couple of weeks ago, called AAA. An hour later she
called me. It took me 45 minutes to reach her, 5 minutes to change the tire
and when we left - still no AAA.

 

Why pay AAA when Hyundai road service is free?

 

will Hyundai come and jumper my Ford Van? will hyundai come and fix my
flat in St. Jon New Mexico, 200 miles from any dealer? and bring gas to
my wifes accord when she runs out?

 

Well, at 66 I suddenly became a "kid"! Of course, I had to move to a
retirement community to attain this status. Average age here is 72 but there
are a lot of people here who, age wise, could have been my parents : )

Cheers

 

No & why should they if one is so clueless to not ask FORD

Why should they! Unless you are some way incapacitated you should get
off your arse and do it yourself

No & why should Hyundai do that ?
If wife is so dumb as to rub out of fuel in the first place
Us ethe fuel burn wife at stake sell the Honda and take remedial
lessons on not to ask dumb questions in the future

 

:

another dic*&%$%^head for the kill file. bye bye prick er pits. PLONK

AAA covers the person, not the car. Any car you drive is covered.....I've
both waited a long while and a short while for AAA roadside service-depends
on the area and which tow service the contract there.

 

That's my question....My roadside came in handy once and they were SNAPPY!
