So last night I went outside to smoke and noticed my back driver side tire was going flat...S*%&... So this morning I did some calling around to find out what the cost of getting it plugged would be... Called Discount Tire just south of 86th street on Michigan Rd. and they said that they would plug it for free and the other shops I called had said it would be between $15-$18 for the plug.... So I get to Discount and the guy helping me comes outside to talk to me about my truck tire and notices I'm OCing my G30 and asks if I ever get hassled for open carrying and I said," Only by the wife." We had a little chuckle and he takes my tire in the shop to do a leak test and finds out that the valve stem was leaking pretty badly.... S*%&... I asked him if they have any used tires in my size.... They don't carry anything in 14" rims... S*%&... He said that he would replace my valve stem free of charge because I didn't need a plug... AWESOME!!... Then he tells me that because the tire had already been plugged previously that it was against company policy to air up tires that have been plugged already... S*%&.... Asked if I had an air compressor that I could fill it up with... No I do not but I could take it to the gas station and fill it up... He comes out about 10 minutes later and tells me that he went ahead and filled the tire for me... AWESOME!!... And as he is loading my tire into the back of my van he says," Thanks for protecting me and the innocent civilians while you were here." So I decided that it would be appropriate to tip this nice young man for his excellent service. Pulled out a $20 and handed it to him and thanked him for being awesome and he says," Thats not necessary." "I know." Then I left and thought that this would be something that should be shared here on INGO.
I felt that this guy deserved the $20 I would have spent elsewhere for less than excellent service because he was so awesome. for Discount Tire
