Goodyear is a Bunch of Thieves

For the $1800 savings she could just throw a can of fix a flat in the car or run on the rim to a gas station. I am sure replacing a rim is cheaper then the extra $1800.

It's just not GoodYear doing this - went to the local Ford dealer with my Navigator for a 60,000 mile check up and they wanted me to change the sparkplugs out because and I quote " they are now at the point where they could crack/break in the cylinder head". I said really -whom....... How much to replace them- $565. Yeah Right! Wont be using them for work that is not warrantied!
 
Have a Goodyear story from many moons ago.
I had a 63 Galaxie 500 I liked to play in the dirt with. I replaced all front end parts with hi-perf parts. Me and a friend did all the work. It was a month or so before I got around to getting the front end aligned. Took it to Goodyear.
They had it most of the day and I went to work. Went to pick it up they said my front end was shot and needed most of the parts replaced. Mechanic showed me the loose tie rod ends and such. Problem was you could see his prints it the mud over the nuts and the bare mud spots on the frame where he got it. Guess he thought the dumb hippy wouldn't notice. I had him give me an estimate. Took the car around the block very slowly to Firestone, explained the situation got the bolts retightened and front end aligned.
Sent the estimate to Goodyear HQ along with the receipts for parts purchased
and a statement from Firestone mechanic.
Got a nice apology from Goodyear with a check covering the false estimate plus $50 for my trouble. Even though I didn't have the work done there.
2 mouths later the Goodyear place was under new management and the mechanic that tried to rip off the dumb hippy was fired.
:D
 
I had a beautiful relationship with a gal all because I helped her with a flat tire. Memories.....:beer:
