Nice thing happened to me today. I have been watching a tire leaking air for a few weeks, with the low tire light coming on after air fill ups. Determined it was the left front today, and took it to America's Tire store to patch it.
The car is 7 years old, with original tires, and 35,000 miles on them, but probably over 20K left. They were busy, and I just left the car at the store. They called and said the tire was not fixable, and they wanted to put a new tire on it. I asked why a slow leak was not fixable, and was told it had been patched earlier, and the patch was leaking, and they couldn't do a do-over.
It's a plug in electric car and the tire was not in stock, but they could get it in a couple days. Turns out it was a $270 tire, and they are replacing it at no cost, admitting they were the ones who did the original patch that is failing.
I did not buy the tires there, they are the originals, but I bought the $100 warranty from them to cover all fixes, rotations, and balancing for the life of the tires. They could have skated and not told me it was their bad patch job, and I never would have known the difference.
So, kudos to America's tire store. There is a reason they are always busy.
