Oh yeah good news for my Dad, his employer that laid him off called him back, he started yesterday will work about 2 months full time then go to part time so he can collect his SS also good good news for them

 

no new trike for me this morning. We couldn't come to even terms that we both liked so we both walked away empty handed.



good morning kids!

 

It fit exactly on my flatbed quad trailer, but dang was that axle unhappy.
It did it though.

Oh yeah, and Les Schwab in Marysville, by the Cenex, sucks eggs. Their "customer service" yesterday was horrid. Got a flat on the trailer and limped it into their store because it was the closest tire place I could get to.
Pulled in with it flat and was told they didn't like where I parked and asked to drag it, flat off the rim and all, around to a different spot. Then, it would be a 1.5-2 hour wait to replace the tire. Warm weather, dog in the car and late to get on the road.
Called Discount Tires and they had the tire for cheaper and could have me in and out. Since I couldn't drag the trailer there, I told the Schwab guy I couldn't wait that long and if I took the tire off and up to Discount they would rush it. He apparently was offended and rather than making any attempt to retain my business, gave me quite the snotty 'tude. I backed my trailer into a spot by their back shop and jacked up the trailer, took off the tire, took it up to Discount Tires and had it back and installed in less than an hour. With NO offer of any assistance from anyone at Schwab while I worked on my own tire in their lot. Nice.
On the upside, Discount Tires at Smokey Point was phenomenal! They were not only more than 10% less expensive, but had(as usual) impeccable customer service. They even took the time to install heavy duty valve stem for free, and advised me to bring in the other tire on the trailer so they could change out that one as well for free. The tires on the trailer are up to 90#psi and the standard valve stem is only designed for up to 60#. The Discount guy, Matt explained that higher air pressure and alot of weight on the trailer could cause the standard valve stem to pop out under load. They weren't trying to upsell me on anything, they just did it. It's knowing important details like that and unsolicited customer service which continues to impress me about that business. They did the same for my horse trailer at no charge. Something small, but important. They have an even more loyal customer now.

Not only did that Schwab store push my business to Discount Tires yesterday, but it cemented why I will no longer ever go to Les Schwab again. And will tell anyone I know to go use Discount Tires if they want great customer service from folks that actually know there stuff and don't nickle and dime you for everything. They also mount ATV tires for less than half what Schwab has charged me in the past. GO Discount Tires!!!

 

here it is

 

what a score!! you'll enjoy that!!

Congratulations Marc

 

Good Morning PSAR

 

Congratulation Mark.

Janna,
Discount is much better than Schwab. They talk to you like a person instead of just another ticket. If you ever need ATV tire installed I have adapters to do them on my tire machine at work. Might charge you $5.00 then again I might not.

 

good mornin everyone ...congrats DS450x on yer newest family member.
