| - So it's our annual trip to Las Vegas and as we pull in around noon o'clock a little light on my dashboard goes on. I say "wtf does that mean?". Well, it means that the tire pressure is low. So we put air in all the tires and it seems that the issue is fixed.
Several hours later, after I've grown tired of the strip we decide to head out and find something more affordable and low key. We end up at a restaurant that's open 24 hours, excellent! It's about 11 p.m. now. As I make a uturn to go into the parking lot something sounds funny, the car won't turn like it should...this just isn't right.
We pull into the lot, I get out and low and behold...my rear tire is flat. This is my first flat ever. I can fix a lot of things, but for some reason I was really caught off guard by this.
So we ate, I pulled out my AAA card, contemplated them. Then I used the trusty Yelp app on my phone and found this place. Only a mile away! Sweet! And 5 stars? Even better. Open 24 hours? Sold!
We make our way over to this place, pull in and they immediately help us out. They told me I shouldn't have driven on a flat tire and that we'll probably have to get it replaced...ahhhh!
At this point I'm assuming they're going to try and make a quick buck on me. I'm a little stressed out and bummed that some of my fun money is going towards this, but oh well, it needed to be done.
They offer me a used tire at $35 or a new one for $100. Used please, just as long as it'll get us back to Long Beach in a couple days. They fix it up, throw on the tire and I go to pay. The gent at the register asks if I got a new tire or a used one, I tell him used and he gives me my total....$35!!! Really? Seriously?
Yes folks, that's right, these guys were super awesome and fixed my flat tire along with installing a new-ish tire to boot!
