+1 for Les Schwab in EG.

So this morning I'm heading out to work. Stopped at the gas station to fill up and check the tires. Car felt kinda "floaty". Rear passenger was WAY low. Like <20psi low. Put some air in and rolled over to Les Schwab.

- they open at 7:30am ftw.

- they pulled and patched 4 nail holes in my tire and balanced it.

- they checked the other tires.

- I didn't get shot in the EG.

- they didn't take the car for a joy ride

- they did it for free.

yay.

gotta love the free service. The one in Davis came through for me when I was in HS. They had been open a week and somehow my tire went flat in the 5 minutes it took to go into subway (a few blocks down the road). I thought it was going to be like $50.

Free service FTW!

unless they've changed policy from the time I worked there a year ago, the roseville shop does free flat repairs too

they only charge if you record it and put it on your myspace. If you buy the tires from them don't you get all those free services including roadside asst.

not all the stores do the free flat repair. The one up in auburn does not, as well as the one by sunrise mall, they charged my sister like 15 bucks.
