Not today but yesterday I was able to take my car to the Autobahn Race Track for Ford Mustangs and I had a blast

Got new tires on the car, I'll edit and throw a pic up once the sun comes up. Went to Les Schwab and will never be back there again. First of all, limited tires available but that's not their fault. I was able to get another set of DWS06's but I did want more of a snow tire this time around...oh well. They also only had the same size so stuck with 245/40/20's, at least I like to think it's some minor rock chip protection with these skinny things.

So I'm waiting, tired of sitting in their lobby forced to listen to deal or no deal on the tv with a mask on so I go outside. Watching these kids work and I'm quickly disappointed. They show little respect if any to customers cars. Whipping them around the parking lot and bordering unsafe at times. But the worst thing, they leave their dirty ass gloves on! No plastic or anything over the seats. All the accumulated brake dust and crap transferring to everyone's interiors. Guy walks up to my car and I tell him to take his gloves off. He gets in and preceded to burn the shit out of the clutch just to pull it in the bay. Then they take their sweet ass time doing the job and assure me the TPMS sensors will work even though these wheels didn't come from a mustang let alone a ford product. They get the new tires on and mount wheels and then a different guy dirty as fuck gets into my car with dirty gloves on to initiate the TPMS calibration. I walk up to him when he get out and let him have it. Speaking loud enough for them all to hear completely sounding like the "get off my lawn" old guy. I couldn't stop myself from giving their entire shop my full reporting of their faults over the last 2 hours. When I'm done, the guy then has to tell me the TPMS sensors wont work and I reply "It seems to me someone told you this fact before you started." and he just blank stares back at me a second before telling me to schedule a return trip and they'll get the right sensors in place. At this point I tell him "Oh you still think I'm ever coming back here?". They didn't even use their torque wrenches properly and I had to loosen and retorque the over tight lugs when I got home. Once they touched the last lug I got in my car to pull in out of the bay. Someone started to protest but I wasn't hearing any of it, I was raging hard. Parked my car, settled up the bill, and did my first burn out with the car as I left. Later today I'm calling whoever I can to complain. Also, time to invest in my own tire mounting and balancing equipment because I just can't trust anyone for anything anymore. Asshole cat has had me up since 2am too so this is just a great day. I keep trying not to be mad, make the choice to improve my mood, so far no luck lol.

And that was a good rant.

I worked in a tire shop when I was 18 and can safely say that maybe 3 of us actually had any sort of respect. Everyone else treated everything like a minimum wage, part time job. Unfortunately that's technically all it is, because it does pay sh*t.


That being said, this is why I only take the rims in. Spend the $20, rent a truck from home depot/Lowe's, and drive the rims in. Last time I took my car in I left equally as frustrated for different reasons except the burned clutch. Never again.

I‘ve used Costco and Discount Tire. Found them both excellent. My installer at Costco owned a Mustang. I knew I was in good hands.

Ditto on Discount Tire. Plus, they now give a 10% discount to military and first responders. Active duty or retired. Store is spotless, hand sanitizer everywhere. They will allow you to drive the car into and out of the bay. The majority of the crew drive high performance cars so there is a good deal of respect for people's vehicles.

I don't drive enough to wear my tires out. Plus I have a set of brand new take offs ready if I ever do wear them out.

Moving forward this is what I will do. Wheels/tires off the car and just rent the truck for the time needed from Lowes/HD/Uhaul. Great idea! Thank you!
