| - This place has saved my ass over a half dozen times while living here in Vegas, not only with vehicles I owned, but in helping others I know also.
Wherever I have tire problems, this is somehow the easiest place to go to. And it's always the first place I can think of that is open, since crap doesn't happen to your tires unless it's 3:30AM. I wanna say I drove by during a major holiday and still saw them sitting around out front waiting for business. That's awesome to me. Who are these people who's tires blow out on them between 9 to 5 on weekdays?
I usually refer to them as the Mexicans, which is actually not racist. I have worked in restaurants most of my life, and of all the cultures that have collectively saved my ass in situations, it would be The Mexicans. The way I use it is as if Mexicans are the Cavalry, the fleet, or whatever reliable, dependable backup slang you want to use.
And I'm always sure to tip the guys when they're done fixing/ replacing the tire. They give you a good price, also. Sometimes I even have a choice of getting a used tire as a replacement if I don't want a new one. For example, I had a small spare donut. I bought a damaged rim from them and a used tire, just because I wanted a full sized spare. It wasn't meant for daily driving, but was better than the dinky spare the vehicle came with.
Next time you're stuck, check them out! They're probably best known as the guys next to Crown and Anchor on Trop and Maryland Parkway.
