 Topic: Big O Tires
Posted: January/21/06 at 7:53am |

For the last week, every other day, the flat tire monitor has been going off in my MINI and I've had one tire that was low on air. Today, after my kids swim practice, I went into Big O tires in Issaquah to get my tire looked at.
The were really quick (although they said that the run flats posed some challenge to get back on the wheel) and didn't charge me a thing to reapir it.
I was quite impressed by that. If that is Big O's practice, I wasn't aware of it. I don't think that my tires were purchased at Big O (I went through the paperwork I got from the previous owner). I expected to pay something, like $10. But free!!
They made a Big O customer out of me.

if they made a customer out of you then it was worth their time. 
I usually go to Les Schwab because that is what I grew up
knowing. They will do the same thing. I got a flat in one
of my snow tires that I bought from Tire Rack and they fixed it for
free even though they didn't carry that brand.

Looks like Big O and Les Schwab practice good old fashioned Public Relations. Something almost lost in this world we now live in.
I became a Les Schwab customer years ago when we lived in Normandy Park. We now have s LS in Gig Harbor.

Now we need to find out if Discount Tire does the same. I hope not to have a flat to have to find out though.

I took one of my run flats to another tire shop it had a screw in it.(Goodyear)because Les Schawb was closed. They scratched my rim broke my valve stem and charged me 25.00, the tire after that always had a slow leak (found out later they ripped the bead). Took it to Les Schawb they fixed it. They told me the bead had been ripped and the chunk of rubber was causing the leak, (guess who?)They fixed it at no charge.
