If you're somewhat stuck in the middle of the state, I can offer a place to sleep. Just please don't kill me in the middle of the night.

So, your goal is to be taxed up the wazoo? For the rest of us mere mortals who aren’t millionaires, we need a better solution.

Lug nuts are always either a 19mm or a 21mm socket, wrench, whatever, almost always one of those two sizes so that would work for the lug nuts. Still need a jack though. Alternatively depending upon what caused the flat, if it's just a nail....get a 5 dollar plug kit from autozone fill the tire with air and plug the nail hole with the tire still on the car.....sorry....nowhere near southington today. Good luck.

I’ve been trying for almost 6 hours and nobody has even bothered. It is in excellent condition but with people are being so cold blooded towards me when I simply am asking for help, I might have no choice but to abandon the car or sell it if I can

Reply to Rent or buy in Fairfield County, CT? by emalways
I’m going to be truthful, you’re not going to get much for 550k in a good school district town around greenwich. New caanan, Greenwich or Darien definitely not. You may be able to find something in Stamford or Norwalk but the schools aren’t great. If you are willing to move up the line to Trumbull you could definitely find something there with that budget. My husband commutes from Fairfield to greenwhich daily, it’s not that horrible if it’s only occasionally to see family. You may be able to get something small in Fairfield but it won’t get you far. We’re planning on selling/buying this spring/summer and our budget of 850k is not getting us far in Fairfield.

If the car is otherwise in decent running shape. Then I wouldn't abandon it, I would continue to ask every single person who came within my view to help me change a tire.

So I just called your local southington AutoZone. The way that the policy is is you buy the tool you can use it and then you're returning get your money back. That's obviously not going to work for you.
They also don't loan out Jack's, and they don't loan out anything to do with the lug nuts. So no lug wrenches or anything like that.
I asked them if they had any better suggestions, they didn't have any period at this point I'm kind of stuck. I'm surprised that nobody has a jack or a basic lug wrench that can work for you.
Sorry but I'm kind of at a loss for suggestions at this point. If I was local I'd help you out I'm in California sorry.

I just spoke with AutoZone for a second time. They told me they do rent out tools but they don’t rent out jacks nor lug nut wrenches so back to square 1

They wanted to charge you or for you to put down a deposit.
I understand you don't have the money for either one. But there's a significant difference between the two.
There's no other AutoZone's within walking distance, there's no pep Boys, there's no O'Reilly's?

AutoZone often has tools you can borrow. Have you checked with them?

I do Instacart. That’s my only source of income right now. Without my car I can’t do Instacart and without that I have no money. I’m completely broke right now. Trying to get this fixed so I can go out and make some money
