So in December I take the same van back in to have leak in front tires fixed. They found the problem and fixed it, but then wanted to sell me nitrogen air fill in all tires... Then they wanted to know if I got my brakes fixed. Said I did and the service manager went off on me about why I didn't get it done there. Price I said. He went on about I should have come back with the other quote. "Why, I said, don't you give me your best deal on the front end?" He muttered something about a lot of things are negotiable. Then started on needing a alignment. It's free he said and your tires show a little uneven wear. "Hey", I said "only drive this van about 500 miles a year so why would I worry about a little uneven tire wear."
I'm done with that place, too.

Good point! I went in for new tires and this tire shop in CT tried to sell me a front end alignment he said my tires wouldn't have worn out so quick. I started laughing at him and said there is 90,000 miles on those tires! What I would have got 150,000 out of them if I had aligned it!!! ha ha ha...
