more power to them if thats what they feel its worth. two donuts says they dont have the overhead a normally operated shop has, ie insurance, liscensing, etc.


good work and cheap should never be used in the same description. if they are, they wont last long.

understood, but are they covered for if something happens? one of the biggest killer of any business anymore is liability, and any lawyer will be all over it if something ever happened. it dont even have to be with a car they worked on, but if a car they put tires on was involved in a wreck, they would be sued most likely. and yes, i know it likely had nothing to do with a wreck, but lawyers, especially ones in lunchbag, are like that.

They didn't scratch your wheels or anything? Might have to check them out cause I got brand new wheels that need tires
