Today my 6+ month pregnant whife was out running errands and called me in a frenzy!

Her: What do i do ? i hit something on third streed, its stuck in the tire, i can hear the air hissing out.
Me: where are you at hunny ?
Her: im at the pie company, do we have a warranty on the tires?
Me: No dear, we bought the car used. Is the tire flat yet ?
Her: No but i can hear it hissing and there's no way i can change a tire this pregnant.
Me your only a few blocks from Attersons tire company, drive it over there and then take a picture and send it to me.
Her: picture taken, sending.

So i recieve a picture of my wifes tire and what looks like a guttering nail/steak sticking out of the tread.. metal is sticking out atleast 1 inch.

I txt her back: Hunny thats a easy fix, they can easily repair the tire. Remind the shop we buy our tires from them and to be nice, "dont gig us on a simple puncture repair" if they try charging you more than $40.00 call me as thats a rip off, p.s. tell them if they can plug and patch it that would be super..

Her: ok i will.

Now this shop is not known for being real fast, or real cheap. But they do stand behind there products so i have bought plenty of tires from them.

My wife txt me back within 10 minutes telling me that they had the car in, and another 15 minutes later sent me a txt telling me the car was done and the shocker, $18.00 total for the repair.

I thought i would share a positive story on BITOG. Atterson Tire in Terre Haute Indiana took very good care of my very pregnant wife, without a ripoff price and without a long wait.

Pleased and

Usually flat repairs are free. Then again I would pay 18 dollars if they only took 15 minutes. Usually i'm stuck their for 2hrs even when I show up a 8:30
 
Daughter had leaking tire on vacation in Destine,Fl. PepBoys fixed it for free. They asked to please use them for parts if needed.
 
I have a used tire shop a block away. For a dismount and patch on the inside they charge $10. I have never had to wait longer then it takes them to do the work. They get all the work in the surrounding 10 block area. I found out about them from word of mouth from a girl that lives many miles away.
 
My sister once had a nail in her tire. She was right near a Firestone, so she took the car there. They said the tire couldn't be patched and that she needed a new tire. She ended up just having them putting the spare tire on and she left without paying anything. We took the car to Discount Tire. Not only did they not try to sell a tire and patched the tire she had, they didn't even charge us anything!
