i went to the hastings one last weekend. i got my 4 new tires mounted, balanced and new valve stems for $54. thats about $13 a tire. tires plus wanted $23 per tire and goodyear wanted $28 per tire!
Im with ya, walmart kicks ass, my friend works there, we got the warranty, bought a set of shit tires, roasted them til they blew, got new ones, went home. Thats the shad side of walmart. As for qualty, if you buy an Xbox or PS2 from Best Buy compared to Walmart it is still the same product. So if you buy shit you get shit and if you buy quality lets damn hope you get qualty, no matter where you go.

THE ONLY THING WALMART HAS GOING FOR IT IS THE FACT THAT SOME ARE OPEN 24-7.

OH, I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH ME WORK ON THERE CAR. IT IS POSSIBLE TO TRUST SOMEONE. IF YOUR FREAKED OUT ABOUT A TECH WORKING ON YOUR. TAKE A MOMENT AND VISIT, GET TO KNOW THEM A LITTLE. THAN GIVE THEM ROOM TO WORK. IF YOU SIT THERE AND WATCH THEM THE WHOLE TIME THEY THINK YOUR AN ASSHOLE. JUST AN OPINION.-A

Both my parents and sister have boughten tires from Walmart and had them install them. Neither has had problems. But this was in a small town where you actually still have honest and good employees.
I love Decorah :bounce:


And Wal-Mart still sucks.

Shop at Target :lol:

Get your car shit done elsewhere

A-lo- turn your caps off. Unless you like to yell alot... ;)

I like to watch people work on my car... I dont really care what they think, I am overprotective especially when I go to tires plus to change a tire and they cant put the car in reverse... grind grind.... Now I just take the tire in by itself.

understandable, sorry about the caps thing. some it up to 3am laziness.

i ordered the tires from tire rack $81 each. in most towns you can get tires mounted and balanced for around $12 each. if you live in the cottage grove/ woodbury area it can cost anywhere from $15-28 (im assuming its like this in most of the suburbs). i thought i would let people know because spring is on its way and im sure someone has some new summer tire that need to go on. if you think walmart sucks thats fine with me. for most stuff they do suck. the only thing i ever buy there is movies, games and oil. i went there and got some great service. they did the job right and they did it cheap.

i watch people work on my car because im the only person that really cares if its done correctly. im sure there are some great mechanics out there that really care if it done the right way but from my experiences there are very few of them. i just took my car to goodyear for an alignment. i had to come in 3 times for them to get it right.

I do not let anyone work on my car! I put on my tires, but I work at a shop.

I worked at a tire and lube in High school. Other than me and one other guy there everyone that worked there was stupid and had never worked on cars before. If you go there just check ther work.


On the otherhand they do have a sweet Tire Protection Plan.
