| - I own a 'bubble car' as my boyfriend likes to call it. Just a common Toyota Corolla S.. When one of my Goodyear tires needed to be replaced, I figured it wouldn't be a problem, considering that it's a COMMON car so there must be plenty of tires in stock before I go on a mandatory 300 mile road trip the next day.
27 calls later to tire shops ranging from North Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Tempe, Gilbert, to Avondale, my tires seems to be as elusive as the Fountain of Youth. The thought of me lying in the middle of the desert in 100+ degree heat waiting for vultures to nom on me because I couldn't find a tire was starting to become more real.
My sadistic father, who watched me go through this mid-life crisis finally spoke up and said that there was a really nice guy across the street from where I was this entire time who fixed his car all the time and could probably help me.
Lo and behold, I call and the guy who works there looks it up and says 'We don't have it, BUT I can drive and go get one and be back in 10 minutes.' Why did I not get this response the other 27 shops I tried calling?!
Basically, less than an hour later, my car is done and ready to go. No appointments, no '2 days later', just fast service. The guy I spoke with was really nice, charged me only what was quoted without any hidden labor fees (cheaper than fixing it at the dealership), and told me to not be so hard on my father because he was a 'nice' guy.
We'll see about that.
Giving it 4 stars because I haven't had any other major service done there as others below have, but when I do, which will be very soon as my car brakes are squealing at an ungodly range higher than Mariah Carey's, I will be back to update my review.
