I wouldn't trust a tow truck either. I would trust my jack more than a tow truck. Those people are wreckless when handling your cars. I doubt my car will be towable.

My friend sets up a few wood blocks that get taller and taller (like stairs or steps) to get enough clearance for a jack under the car... He does this for oil changes but I don't see why you couldn't do it for tire changes... It's tricky but it works every time and he hasn't scratched or chipped or dented anything yet.. Ramps also work...

To OP: Hopefully you've found a solution after three years..

Well I always had lowered rides you carry a 2x4 plank in your car at all times that props the car up a good 2 inches so you can get under the car. That is what AAA does when they want to get your car on a FLATBED without scratching it up. Try that.........
