Stop Replacing the Tires on Your Car, Do This Instead
video description
Also a few years ago I did lawn service work. The company I worked for told me that the customers wanted this company because all of us on the crew spoke English and were Normal Americans. The customers only used this company because of the fact the people were English speaking and honest. Wake up America business.

I was a tire buster at one of those discount tire stores back in the 90s. Some of the problem is with the techs not getting proper training and some of the problem is just how these stores run.
Techs work on labor commission and salesmen work on parts commission. All too frequently the salesmen would give away free labor in order to sell parts and tires. Then they would tell the customer, Oh sure, we'll have you in and out of here in half an hour. regardless of how many tickets were hanging on the board. Now you have under-trained techs having to bust their humps and cut corners, and at the end of a long hard day they find out they didn't make anything above minimum.
I left Montgomery Wards (flat rate) to work at this other store across the street (not gonna say the name, but it's the one with letters) because they promised to double my earnings by commission. After six months of working there, I had exactly two days where I earned any commission above minimum. Just two.

Back in the 1960s, my tightwad father would change his own tires in the driveway, using tire irons and a hand pump. To break the bead, he would lay the tire and wheel down in the driveway, and drive over the tire with a second car. He tried to balance the tires by mounting them on the car and loosening the wheel bearing so the tire would spin more easily. All to avoid paying the tire store for the labor. He would replace one tire at a time as they wore out. So he often was driving on four different brand tires with varying states of wear. I used to call him The Thriftmeister.

We have do have the same service here in Dubai, U. A. E. Batteries, tires, basic maintenance, heck even a mobile gas station called CAFU. For the mobile gas station you pay about 18 dhs ( 5) for a single use fee or 45 dhs ( 12) for the monthly, just unlock your cap if needed and it'll be delivered. Gas is cheap too 1. 80 dhs per litre (. 049 per litre) for the normal everyday gas and 1. 91 dhs per litre ( 0. 52 per litre) for the premium. Tbh not the best fuel in the world ironically but eh.

Mr. Scotty,
If I'm correct, as reliability car such as Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Acura. However, car assembly Ontario, Canada are great built. As future vehicle assembly won't be same quality as before. What do you think pre-owned 2016 ford fusion S 2. 5l i4 automatic transmission with 60-80k mileages. Thank you for your time and hope to hear back from you Mr. Scotty. Have a good day.

really wish they serviced here in MN. Costco did a good job for me 5hrs ago, then even brought to my attention one of the dealer installed tires(from the used car lot i bought car from) was damaged, the bead of the tire that sits on the rim and could have torn more and blown out. i will never use Walmart service. I read Sears Auto Center used to be good, but Sears is no more. lolz.

l was offered a 'steady job' as the Tire Guy for a Formula 3 Team here in Europe, but l had to have the Van, the (very) specialized machinery, and be dedicated to 'my' Team as a priority.
(l could do other Teams when l was done)
20k+ investment for 20 races a season 10 bucks a tire change & balance (racing slicks on mag wheels - very delicate)
Uhh. nope.

First time I ve heard of this company. Looks cool. I wonder how they do when the customer s car is parked in a parking garage though, like in an apartment or condo complex. I ve had pretty good luck so far at my local America s Tire, I ve usually only had to wait no more than about 2 hours there.
