An on-board storable system for repairing a flat tire on an automobile comprising a utensil adapted to endow a power impact wrench to actuate a scissors jack. Such system preferably includes an air compressor for inflation of a replacement tire after mounting the wheel bearing the replacement tire has been secured to the hub with the impact wrench. An alternative system utilizing the utensil and a power impact wrench comprises an air reservoir; compressor; electro-mechanical means for driving the compressor; a pneumatic distribution system; the pneumatic distribution system conveying air from said reservoir to an air distribution post for each wheel of the automobile; and tubular means for conveying air from said posts to a tire proximate each said post. The electro-mechanical power transmission means being selected from the group comprising an engine driven belt powered pulley; an auxiliary battery and associated electric motor; and an electric motor driven by the automobile electric system. The power impact wrench can be either electrically driven or pneumatically driven by air ducted from said air reservoir. A vehicle hoist is powered by a source from the group comprising a mechanical hoist driven by a pneumatic power tool driven by air from said reservoir; a hydraulic hoist driven by an air powered tool powered by air from said reservoir; an electric hoist powered by said auxiliary battery; and an electric hoist driven by a hot wire from the battery to a convenient terminal. In both the preferred and alternative embodiments, a power impact wrench being operable to torque and detorque threaded fasteners anywhere on the automobile, including the lug nuts holding a wheel to a hub.
