My car goes in once a year for oil change, tire rotation, alignment, all the checks. A light, well the police will let me know about that if one goes out. I have AAA so never worry about a break down. I called AAA to fix a flat in my driveway. DH was away and I couldn't get the spare out of the bracket underneath the SUV. Be sure you can get the spare out and if your hubcaps need a tool to unlock the lug housing. The lugs are put on so tight with impact wrench that I doubt I could loosen them by hand or foot. It's too dangerous to be on the side of the road without a good roadside assistant plan or family nearby.
