[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 527870, member: 84"] That lug nut issue is why I will never again let walmart do my car. Not for tires. Not for anything. I don't care how cheap they are, sometimes cheapest is too cheap. Mine were tightened ok, husband checked them. But sister in law's friend went there to get new tires.......he was driving down the road when the tires were suddenly not there. It was not pretty. Scared the living daylights out of him and caused an accident. So yeah. I want cheap, but I want someone who's rep is good by [B]many folks[/B] before I use them. Guy who did my exhaust system is a retired gentleman, a farmer who was a mechanic as a young man both to be able to keep his equipment going and for side jobs when times were tough as they are now. You can't get cheaper, AND he does them the old way if he can with good old fashioned soldering steel to steel. He won't even [B]consider[/B] changing out an exhaust system he can repair. Yes, sister in law could do it for me just as cheap.....well ok a bit cheaper because he wouldn't charge me labor.....but as ace a mechanic as he is, even he says this guy is the best when it comes to exhausts. Before the last set of tires, I never dreamed you could get a warranty on them or that someone would actually tow you back in to have them replaced. [/QUOTE]
