While back in Maine working my wife took our vehicle to a local Tire Choice with a drywall screw in one of our tires. I told her to let them change oil as there is not much profit in patching a tire. I shouldn't have worried. She was told tire could not be plugged and she would need to replace it. Not knowing enough to be comfortable challenging the opinion she had all four tires replaced, along with a 110.00 alignment, 70.00 road hazard warrenty, the 80.00 balance and valve service, and the most expensive oil change I've paid for in my 62 years. My Maine concern for their profit was misplaced. Back home I would be very comfortable leaving my auto servive person a signed blank check to fill out himself. Toto we are not in Maine any longer.
