New England B.S. Thread

I used to use them for the lifetime alignment but then Sullivan has it also and I have a buddy that works for them

 

Exact reason I follow my buddy from Sullivan to Sullivan. He is a manager or assistant manager depending on the store and schedule. He always grabs a good tech that cares to handle my stuff. I also bring him my work van

 

We just got home from camping with the Scouts from this weekend. We had a great tine with the chuckwagen and all but oh man did it get windy! To say I didn't sleep very well in the tent was an understatement

 

@Cativelense had a hell of a time with the firestone near him

 

Got back from Hawaii yesterday evening. Unpacking, laundry, work, then flying to Atlanta first thing tomorrow. Yay....

 

Yep. Mostly because of the tire balancing issue... And a small thing with the alignment. Guess it depends on the people that work there I think.

 

Is Spring officially here when my truck starts turning green from pollen?

 

Yeah, I looked at the reviews. Waterbury is a star higher than Brookfield. To be honest, it's a crapshoot wherever you go. Many moons ago, I used to work at a used car dealership as a mechanic. There was always happy and unhappy customers. I'm figuring the lifetime alignment fee would save in the long haul. Last year's was 95.00 - another one and I'm at the same cost as Firestone.

 

$95 for an alignment? Jeez. Thankfully I have a friend with a commercial account and I'm good friends with the assistant manager at the place I go, so it's $40 per time

 

Why yes it is.
Especially on a black truck.
I raise the surrender flag.

 

There's a local tire place here that charges $60. But, I found out if I bring a dozen donuts for them, they charge me $50 instead.

The guy my mom and sister go to for repairs that I don't have the skills or patience for just died. They liked him--he always remembered them by name when they came in and his pricing was always very fair. Plus his shop was only 10 minutes away.

 

I like places like that. I find a place i like and stick with them til they give me a reason to not like them anymore

 

local lifted truck place near me is $150.. I kept going there because they could get me in first thing without an appointment, and then paid and out the door in 25 min.

 

I have special privileges where i go so I wait for whatever is in the bay to come out and usually am next to go in

 

Sullivan Tire in Seabrook, NH does good work, I find. And they’re right next to a cigar lounge and a coffee shop, which makes for a dandy waiting room experience.

 

The thing about Firestone that makes me laugh is the volume you get of “issues” with your vehicle and it usually totals $4,000-5,000. They have to just use the mileage and assume everything at that point is worn out.

 

Morning everyone. Back to the grind. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

 

Morning. Can't believe it is Monday morning already

 

Good morning everyone. Today I get a new windshield.

 

Good morning all. Let's see if Firestone can figure out how to align LR UCAs...
