I remove my Fuchs and have them mount tires for me and they are actually really good at it.
All the other cars I could care less how they do it as long as I don't have to take half a day to get it done.
Why would I do that? My local guy never makes me wait and places like Discount Tire can't touch his prices. I called Discount Tire to get a price on some tires. I already had a price from my usual guy but I like to price check. They give me their out the door price which is higher than my usual guy's price by enough to keep me from going there. The guy asks if I want the tires. I tell him I have a better price but I appreciate his time. He asks what the price is and that they'll match any competitor. I tell him "then sharpen your pencil" He says we don't do it that way. I say "and I don't give out prices from others because anyone can beat someone's price if they know the price" and got the tires from my friend. Price match? Nah.. I like the lowest price first.
