Retired
Last week I emailed a couple of tire vendors requesting quotes on tires. I was prepping myself for the inevitable.
Tuesday while having a LevelUp system installed the "helper" noticed I had 1 tire that the belts had shifted. That was worth a $20 tip for him as I had missed it on my daily tire check.
I called Tire and Wheel with some questions on the quote I received and the person I spoke to, Scott, was more then willing to answer all my questions (as I expected for a sales of 4 combos).
I stopped at the Blue Gate in Shipshewana to meet Jim Beletti and Tom & Judy A. for dinner. Before heading for home I used the new LevelUp and looked at the tire a bit more closely. This tire would not make the trip home, the bulge was getting bigger. The thought of 200 plus miles on the Ohio Turnpike prompted a call back to Tire & Wheel.
Not only did Scott offer to get tires mounted and balanced, but he would wait for me that night if I wanted to continue. I told him the earliest would be 7:30 pm, no problem he said.
Not 15 minutes after leaving Shipshewana I had a flat tire and 700 miles to go.
Used the new LevelUp for the second time within two hours of having it installed and changed out the flat.
I arrived at Tire & Wheel at 8:10pm. Had a nice conversation with Scott, who turns out to be the owner. He then proceeded to install all four tires after I used the LevelUp for the third time in 3 hours! We talked some more and then eventually we went to the office to settle up. 5 wheel and tire combos on our trailer before ever asking for payment.
