Had a rear tire on the BINI go bad, so ordered a tire from tire rack and took her down there for a quick cheap change while I bought oil and wipers to service my girlfriends car. It turned into an hour and a half of them not being able to take my old tire off. So down the road to Black's tires and 10 minutes later it was done.
I have always gotten good service from Discount Tire. Not always the fastest, but always able to do the job - including the 10" and 12" alloy rims for the classic Minis. A regular store I used while living in Round Rock, Texas even did a balance and rotate on the last classic I owned for free. Their "excuse" was I was a regular customer and they thought it was great that I trusted them with such a "unique" car. Just the looks from other customers as they were doing the work was worth it to them.
At least that is what the manager on duty told me when I tried to pay them for the effort and he refused payment.
It makes you wonder; what IS Walmart good at? I'd like to think sucking, Walmart is very good at sucking.
Yes sucking. I like that usually I can go there and find anything I need at a cheap price though.
I hate Walmart. I wouldn't drive my classic Mini in their parking lot, let alone some thumbless monkeys f*** up one of my most valued posessions.
Find a good specialty guy you can go to. You'll get much better service, make it a point to get to know him a little too, then he'll treat you even better. That's what I do with my Caprice.
The majority of the products Walmart sells are made in sweat shops overseas paying the workers $1 a day.
America (made in China) ;D
