Wow what a ****ty car day. Left my first stop (St John Liquors) and got to the back of Kmart's parking lot and realized I had a flat. Pulled it off and it was WRECKED. Threw the doughnut on and headed up 41. Leeps didn't have the size I needed so I kept heading up towards Meijer to the tire place they have in front of the store, but saw Mr. Tire first just North of Stracks/Walmart.
Stopped in there, and since the other 3 tires were pretty old, I said replace them too. They were working on the alignment, when they noticed that one of my lower ball joints was bad (the one for the tire that blew). Figured I should replace that too so the tire wouldn't go bad again. Needless to say my wallet is quite a bit lighter this evening.
Oh yea, and I still had to finish all my stops since my boss couldn't cover for me. Spent the rest of the day running about 3 hours behind.

If I had to guess, I know who you are
Didn't know there was something there. I just started heading towards 30 because I figured something would be up around there.Should go to mighty mikes across from k mart. My dad owns the auto shop inside.
Didn't even think of this. I did drive by later in the day thinking that I could have really used a cigar, but the wife came home early with a strained back, so I needed to get home.Should have called me. I'd have picked you up and brought you back to the cigar lounge, you could have used the internet and the phone to call your accounts and take orders over the phone while your tire was being repaired. I'd have taken you back to your car when it was done. I was there until 5:30 today!!!
Before I end up paying a shop to do some work on my car, are there any mechanics on here? I need all 4the struts replaced and brakes all the way arround (all disk) on my 2007 mazda 3.
PM me a price if you are a mechanic looking for side work.
