Agree from the handful of times I have bought from them. Once when sucking wind for money they kept coming up with cheaper and cheaper options. They had a $60 Chinese tire but only three of them so they sold me four $70 tires and matched the $60 price.
With respect to speedy service my Dad went to work at a tire shop at 65 for something to do. He did well but it was a smaller volume shop and I think the fact that he showed up every day outweighed his less than lightning speed. Finally had to leave because the oversized truck tires were too heavy for him.
I have had a single floor jack blow an o-ring and drop the front of my 911. I was right next to the car.There would not have been enough time to exit but I never go under in that scenario. I won't even stick my arms in the wheel well after that event.
Some long time folks here may know of the Bowden brothers in Anchorage. They liked putting 930 motors in Beetles and running at the Fur Rondy race in the middle of winter. One of them died under a 911 when the floor jack failed. 1990-ish.
