What The He$$....?
« on: March 01, 2005, 11:04:21 PM »
So like I don't get it.  [_[

I get referred first of all to a tire store in PoMo, close to where I live...by a non vw friend.

1. I get 2 14\" Fuchs monted on my tires, I get charged $48.69 which includes mounting/balancing and new air stems.



I then get referred to Tom's Tires by Airspeed, and the following happens :

1. On Monday I show up at Tom's out of the blue, they get to it in 10 minutes, they mount my wheeladapters/change my mags over to tires and balance them (wrong tires--mis communication) find out that all 4 of my Fuchs need to be re-drilled as the splines tapper out on the studs--they don't sit flush on the adapters
2.  They then put all the tires back to normal, send me on my way--NO CHARGE

3. I go to Airspeed , Geoff shows me what I have to do, I do it with his tools in his shop.

4. Show up the next day at Tom's Tires. They swap everything over to what I wanted, along with 2-new air stems/mount/balance of 2 Fuchs/tires.

I go to pay.... 25.00....  WTF??


So I guess I know where I will be buying my tires and referring my business to and spending 10 minutes typing out this ADVERTIMENT  on behalf of Tom's Tires in Whalley.

Talk about good KARMA/PR and well..... :huh:  :wub:

Tommy has been a friend of mine for many many years.... I only like to use Tommy. I only buy Tires from him. If you want to talk about good Karma he is the guy... BTW you have free flat repair and free rotations for life now..Any time I go some where and see an old woody car , I pick it up for Tommy. You could not meet a nicer guy anywhere. Always asks how my Mom is doing..Just one terrific guy :wub:

I agree, so if you have been dealing with Tom for awhile, I feel like an old guy here.
I remember Tom when he ran the shop off of Kingsway!

Great guy!

Tommy is one of the best guys around.

I have been in many times and I have never opened the wallet.  He'll say \"Merry Christmas, early, kiddo\" or something similiar.  He is amazing. :wub:

Only tire guy I recommend.

I was gonna say that... We went out last year on Mothersday and represented the VW's at Tommy's show. All for Charity 100% There was about 4 or 5 VW's Lets show up this year in bigger numbers and support the Tire Guy!!!
He was also a sponser at the  \"WEST COAST SHOWDOWN\"

Tom used to sponsor the Father's Day show back in the Strictly German club days. Since then I've only missed one Mother's Day show.
