always want to put 32psi in the tires because that is the factory recommendation on the door jamb. They are low profiles on 20's and need 42 so they don't wear the shoulders off prematurely. She has to have a debate with them everytime. Other than that, no problems.

When they are open, the volume of business is amazing.
Usually a line, they definitely get practice.

Every time I go to a "tire shop", I get personal attention and immediate service.

Wal-Mart, you park it and wait your turn, or go shopping.

I had one problem but they admitted fault and fixed the error immediately.
I have also noticed they don't have much of an employee turnover.

The boss calls ahead to see how backed up they are. If they are burried, she tries another day. We have two within 15 miles. Being a little flexible and having two to choose from, she rarely waits more than 15 minutes to get her rig in. Then she can grocery shop while it is getting done instead of sitting and waiting. Their prices are pretty damn good and will do some price matching too. For the last set, it was cheaper to have them delivered at the house and then take them to the store for the install, even though it was all through Walmart. Not a big deal, just how their system works sometimes.
