So I needed a used tire for Honda Accord with half-worn tires and I refused to shell out $$$ for a new tire that will later cause me to buy 3 new ones. Like most well-informed consumers, I googled the closest used tire place and found Big Earl's Used Tires across from this charming donut shop (Dunkin Donuts) on Albermarle Rd. I called the business prior to my visit and the owner told me in a down-to-business tone that yes, they had several tires of my size.
When I found the place, I was quite nervous. The place had the requisite "grit" of a used tired shop-old service station, oil-stained doors, truckers loitering with the owner. But Earl (not big by the way) showed me the tires he had and I chose the one with the least wear and tear. He installed it and I was out in a few minutes. I paid a total of $38!!! What a deal. Earl suggested that I return if I have any problems, at which point I noticed a Better Business Bureau sign behind the counter. Whew.....and to think I found this placed without Yelp!
