It's very basic, and something everyone needs to know.
My (ex)girlfriend tried to convinve me that roadside assistance would be faster when we got a flat about a year ago,. She called it in to the RACV, I got out and started changing it myself, I was done in 8 miniuts, the RACV took half an hour just to arrive.
