Default Tire Service

Need to have some wheels and tires mounted and installed. After reading the post by Rich Z I'm nervous . Looking for a shop in the Bradenton - Sarasota area I can go to and not worry.

Thanks, but unfortunately I have to work to pay for my Vette and as a result I need a facility that's open on Saturday or open until at least 6:00 PM. I'm afraid I will never see Corvettes West due to their hours.

Wasn't there a guy forum member Gannett used that was mobile. He would come out to your home or work I believed. He seemed really pleased with the guys service.

Rick, I used Goodyear on SR70 near my house and they did a good job on Debs car, I used Tire Kingdom on my car and I felt they were OK, not as careful as Goodyear. Both are open 7 days a week, for your convienence.

PitCrewTire

He comes to you. Super service, fast, on your schedule.

He's also signed up with Tire Rack, so you can have your new tires shipped right to him, and he'll bring them out on the truck when he comes. I can't imagine anything more convenient.

It's pretty interesting how he jacks the car up. He actually uses a sort of "bag" which goes under the rocker in the usual place and gets filled with air. Works a treat, and no danger of damage to the car.

Yep, but according to his listing on Tire Pack, he stays in Pinellas county.
