[DeTomaso] FW: NPC Free Tire for Fiat.. Kind of strange story.

[Bill Lewis]

Laurie, I have bought many tires from Discount Tire - never had a problem - always satisfied.  They repair flats for free here in the Houston area.

I recommend them to everyone - you can do the same for America's Tire (that's a new name to me).   ---BILL L

Laurie,

Being young and beautiful can make many things that seam imposable,
possible.

I have a little Fiat 500.  I unfortunately drove over a screw about a year
ago in passenger rear tire and had it repaired at Discount Tires.  They said
they could plug it for a small fee of $10. but to do a better job, they'd
patch it for 25.  I opted for their patch.
Move up to a about a week ago.  As luck would have it, I went over another
large bolt type screw in the same tire (i seem talented at this feat) right
in the center but not the same spot, so apparently no problem to repair.  My
lifetime Fiat Warranty came in handy as a service guy came to pump up the
tire temporarily and I ventured around the corner to America's Tire.  They
said the first patch wasn't done correctly as it should have had a
plug/patch combo. so they were unable, with all the legal liability mumbo
jumbo explanations, that they could not repair the tire.  So.... what did
they do? They didn't try to sell me a tire, they put a brand new Yokohama on
as they said they couldn't send me off unsafely. No charge. What????  Does
this sound as unbelievable to you as it did to me?  Maybe it's because I
just recently bought 4 new Pirellis from them for my LSC?   Still wondering
about this.
Laurie
