| - You would be amazed at how difficult it is to find somewhere to fix a flat tire. First I stopped at Sam's (since we're members). The wait was over an hour. Then the Tire Kingdom. They actually would rather unload their truck than take my money. Go figure. So then I figured I'd try Meineke, since if George Foreman says it's okay, it must be okay. Right?
Well, the guy at the desk is at least friendly, and seems like they can get the job done quickly. They take the car right in. Now if I was in Charleston (SC), I would go to Gerald's. It was so difficult to get this stupid flat tire fixed, and so many people didn't seem to want to fix it, that it's almost worth making the round trip to Charleston just to go to Gerald's.
In any case, they took the car to the back and some 30 minutes later, it was done. Now perhaps I'm just used to a higher standard, but 30 minutes to fix a flat seems like an awfully long time. And the price was higher than I'm used to as well. But at least they fixed it, which is more than I could say for several other places around town.
