The local Goodyear tire center mounts and balances my tires for me for nothing, usually. The owner is a very nice person and a gear head deluxe.
I stop in Tuesday afternoon to get all my 11" rims and tires seperated. I drop them off and come back in a few days to pick the stuff up. It's why I get it for free, usually, because they work them in as they have the time. I go back yesterday morning and the tires are all still mounted. NBD, but I sak the shop foremen if they had been busy. He explains that on Wednesday, one of the guys in the shop was under a motorhome, trying to beat one of the inner wheels off of a rusted hub when home rolled forward, fell on him and killed him. The wheel chocks were right there, but he chose not to use them. As we all are thrashing, trying to get a long list of things done, don't cut any corners. Do things right the first time. Be safe out there. |
