There are a few times in life that a mystery nail yearns to wander off the beaten path. Unfortunately so, one's tire may cross such paths. If you happen to meet at say anytime past 5pm or if you're like me and would rather be a cheapo about it there is always the good old 24hr "L" lanterias.
Nails patched for nothin' and used tires for a song to get you rolling along. This location has been my Jarvis in numerous occasions. Take today for instance. One reputable brake shop I frequent put the wrong pads and over torqued my lug studs so bad that I had 4 studs break off on the freeway. I took her to my favorite oil change spot today and they wanted to charge 200 to replace 12 lug studs. Tropicana Llanteria only charged me 90 bucks.
Granted I have a dedicated Spanish translator in my life nowadays. I never had communication issues as a lone gringo before. I like these guys. They are quick, cheap, honest and always open.
