I’ve had shitty dealings with that Goodyear. Paid for a “four wheel alignment” on a Quattro, got a two wheel alignment. Scammed. Never dealt with anyone with a VW tattoo, but did deal with this short, fat C U Next Tuesday that worked there. Real asshole she was. ---

lol, funny thing was it was cheaper to buy from the store in PA and have it shipped to me than to buy up there. Some of their stuff is cheaper and some of their stock is different in ON, but not what I needed to buy. The trip wasn’t a bust though and we brought back some good stuff. ---

The thing that confuses me the most is the tech saying that “your wheel is cracked by the flange.” What was he trying to refer to on the wheel when he called it a flange? Only thing I can think of is he meant hub, but, it seems someone who would call something a flange would know what a hub is. ---

I got lost in Ikea the only time I went there, it took me several days to get out. I’ll never go there again. I’ve had something very similar to this happen to me here in Houston. I recently moved down here and the starter went out in my corvette. No big deal I thought, so I took it to a corvette “specialist” down here. They only sold and worked on corvettes, perfect right? They did the starter but reversed my O2 sensors. The car ran like crap and I had to buy new ones and replace them myself. Sometimes life sucks lol. ---

good to hear everything worked out, sucks you had to buy a new wheel, i doubt that was cheap sidenote- i was really drunk last night when i wrote this. i barely remember doing it, honestly. im surprised at how well written it is, considering my frame of mind at that point in the evening. i had drank an entire growler of flower power ipa, and a good amount of red wine. > [@Jam](#): > > don, i dont want to start any shit, or appear to be one sided, but i am friends with the kid with the vw tattoo. he actually lives around the corner from me > > as soon as i read the thread, i texted him about it, he asked to be sent the link to this thread via facebook, as he’s not a member here. he says he did not take the wheel off, his co-worker did, but him and his co-worker both saw the crack, and he assures me that if you take it back there he will show you the crack. > > ps. i am not fucking with you, for real! ive known the kid for years, he’s a good guy > > also, this made me lol > > i wouldnt take my 15 year old honda civic to goodyear, CMON!! 🙂 ---

You could have brought it to the dealership, had a similar experience, and everyone would have been on your nutts about that too. Apparently you have to be a super talented car enthusiast to change a tire. I’m not against supporting our vendors, I support them as often as possible, but give me a break. Even implying that going to Goodyear was the gayest idea ever for a flat tire in a pinch, is fucking lame. You’re lucky those “fucking loser assholes” at Goodyear (insert anything that isn’t Swerve) saw the crack in the wheel… after the dealership had a look at it, and you yourself inspected it **looking for a crack** , and still didn’t see it. Some of these guys are so hung up on “how shitty every place is” that even if you re-wrote the OP to - “Goodyear saved my life by finding a crack in my wheel that nobody else could see”, they’d still hate on it. My hookup doesn’t work there anymore, so I don’t bother with them. I’d also never let them do anything other than tires on any of my vehicles. But tires are tires. 19s ain’t shit. ---

lol! yeah it’s not TOO bad I just don’t want it to crack worse…I think I’m going to have it welded up and throw the old tire that isnt flat on it just for a makeshift spare. Not something to drive on for a long time, but I might need it sometime. ---

lol @ haters. It’s a fuggin flat tire, not rocket surgery. Nothing wrong with taking it to goodyear to get a tire patched, even if that tire is attached to an expensive car. :shrug: Oh, read some more and now see that they were right. I am vindicated! ---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ---------- Don’t get me wrong, I hate goodyear. They scammed me when I was in college pinching pennies and couldn’t afford to be scammed. I won’t go there. But it’s not like BMW’s tires have unicorn hair sidewalls and tread made from leprechaun cum, or wheels made of unobtanium fastened to the hub with quantum nanobolts. ---
