Here's another plug for TRI County! I had a slow leaking tire so went by the shop at Wal Mart hoping to get it repaired. I was told that the tire was worn beyond the point that they were allowed to fix it. I passed Tri County and stopped there. They were very nice and said they did not work on tires but recommended Tire Roundup. After a very short wait at Tire Roundup the guy found a tiny nail. He said he could fix it for $25 or he had a used Michelin for $40 ( it looked new). He put the used tire on the left front and also put my never used spare on the right front. Total bill $58! I found that to be more than fair! They also recommended Tri County for repair work!

It helped me a lot as I am in the process of "car shopping" (UGH) and I did not want to have to put a brand new set of tires on a car I might be trading soon!
