Quality Tire & Brake on 466. Von (not sure if I'm spelling his name right) is the owner. He is honest, reliable and a good guy. His place doesn't look like much but him and his mechanics know what they are doing. I can't say enough good things about the service here. There are people who tow their cars to him from other parts of Florida because he is that good. His prices are fair.

I've been patching and or plugging tires since I was 16.

Same here. Also if the plug still leaks a little shoot some “ fix a flat” in there and it will seal it up and not affect the tpms sensors

Thanks again for the suggestions. The culprit was a little finishing nail. Since it was the most convenient, I went to Sumter Tire. Twenty minutes and $28 later I drove away with a patched tire. They don’t plug unless requested since they think that makes the hole bigger.

Thanks for providing a solution to your problem

Would recommend Sumter tire

Haven't you figured it out yet? Bashed them in the Hearing Aid post too! IMHO

When I was a kid, I got bit by a German Shepherd and was afraid of dogs for years. I think someone named Sam may have bitten him years ago.

I have hearing aids and when I have a problem can always get an appt same day to get them fixed. Have seen where Sams audiologist is on vacation and hearing center closed for a week at a time.
Think the tire center takes too long to fix tires or rotate. They have more business than they can handle and should expand that section of the store to better serve their customers. Or expand their hours to the same hours as the club is open.

To answer your bashing comment. we are regular customers of Sams and overall think they do a great job. However I do call them as I see them. Sorry if you do not approve.

It's O.K. to call them as you see them, as long as you look for some positive too. I have purchased two sets of hearing aids from this Sam's Club. Both Kim who used to work there and Derry and the other guy who are there now are great. They are always available for me. They have hours that differ from the store hours. They are open Monday-Saturday 9a.m. 6p.m. Closed Sunday. One or both are always there. Their hours are posted online and we don't go looking for them when they are not there..... and as far as them changing their hours, well we just never wanted to run that business and figured there were enough others around here that did! Have a good day..... you know, the kind where you find plenty to complain about.

BTW nobody at hearing center this morning at 11 30.

It was the tire manager who complained his dept was too small to handle their workload.

Silly me thought this was a place to put out opinions not to be bashed because you disagreed.
