So I had to get a damaged tire replaced on my car yesterday (), and was thoroughly unimpressed by one particular local tire store chain.
They either can't or won't look up your cars tire size by year/make/model.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but can't, well.....EVERY tire shop do that? This is my 4th car and hardly my first time getting new tires, and I don't ever remember having to supply the tire size myself. I was so befuddled I almost had to hang up and call back, but then I mananged to get it googled.
Seriously....why did I have to do that? It's not like I've got non-factory wheels or anything.
They also asked if my car was 4WD.........ITS A HONDA FIT!!!!! of course it doesn't have 4WD!!!!
And to top it all off, the lowest price they quoted me for ONE tire was $160, not including installion.
Me: yeah lemme think about it. *click*
I went to their competitor across town. Paid less than that including installation.
Oh, and why do all the tire shops around here other than Sears close at 6 every day? Do they expect people to take time off work?
