I noticed my tire was low. I tried putting air in it but then by the end of the day it was low again.Great! I needed to go find out what was wrong. I had hope it was just a nail and a quick repair, small bill and then I would be on my way.
I went to the local tire store down the street from me. I was told there wasn't a nail that they could find. I needed a whole new tire. It was going to cost me around $150. Oh no! I wasn't ready to pay that much. I'm trying to save my money for my cruise later this month.
So I thought I would go tire shopping.
That's when I drove by Midas in Huntington Beach. I saw they had a big sign saying Firestone Tires. I knew that was the tires that came on my car so I quickly pulled in.
I was greeted right away by the very pleasant staff. I told them what the other tire company said. As soon as I did I knew I shouldn't have. Why? Because now they know I know I need a new tire.
I've seen the shows on TV. The ones like 20/20 or 60 Minutes. You know, where they went under cover to the car repair places and how they take advantage of you. If you are a woman you really have no hope. Oh well. To late I knew I was going to get ripped off.
What! Did I hear right? Did the guy just tell me I DON'T need a new tire. It's just a nail. OMG!
I was very impressed. This shop was NOT going to take advantage of me. In fact, they were very honest. Wow! This wasn't what 20/20 or 60 Minutes showed. They need to come to this Midas.
My tire was put up on the machine, fixed and my bill was less then $20.00! So, what could have turned out to be a costly day turned into a quick tire repair.
From now on I will be going to Midas in Huntington Beach. They are honest, fast, friendly and very knowledgeable.
They didn't care if I was a woman or a man. I was treated with respect and treated very very fairly. They don't take advantage of their customers.
Thanks Midas!
Don't you just love when you find a car repair place that you can trust.
Hugs,
