Honolulu, HI
I can be such a cheapskate and procrastinator sometimes so I'll let something go for as long as I can just so I don't have to fork out money. I had picked up nails on 2 of my truck tires and bought a tire-plug kit to patch them.This lasted for a few months but then they both started to slowly leak. I figured they were still holding up ok. I just had to fill them with air every couple of weeks. Slowly but surely, the air filling became more frequent. Then, one of them had a blow out on the freeway, the tread ripped off the tire, pieces went flying everywhere. Thankfully there were no other cars around me at the time. So now I had the spare on and figured this would be fine for awhile. Then I picked up a nail in the spare, too! Pfft. Now I had 2 questionable tires and no spare so I knew I had to give in and get new tires. I decided to hit up Lex Brodie's and am glad I did. They gave me a decent price on a set of tires and got them changed out quickly. They also removed the shredded tire that blew out and replaced it with one of the old tires at no charge. That was really nice of them. Since the truck incident, I've also had to get a tire patched on my car. (WTF is with me and nails in my tires?!) They also did this quickly and gave me a discount since I was returning customer. Again, really nice of them. The service at Lex Brodie's is great. I'm sure I'll get more nails in my tires so I'm sure I'll be back.
