Tire Xchange

I stopped by Reggie’s one day when I needed to have some tires dismounted and a couple other tires mounted. It was 4:50 on a Saturday.
I used to always go to NTB at the corner of Warrensville Center and Mayfield, but they demonstrated total incompetence one too many times. So, I went to Enger’s Goodyear, a stone’s throw away, and despite the fact that they were not busy and didn’t close for more than 2 more hours, they told me they’d take me on an appointment — tomorrow. I needed tire lovin’ TODAY.
After making a snide comment about not wanting my money, I vaguely remembered a shady looking tire joint at South Green and Monticello. I rolled in at ten ’til close and asked the guy if he could help me out. In the good ol’ American entrepreneurial spirit, he was happy to take my money and do an excellent job. They even loaded my freshly mounted wheel/​tire combos into the back of my friend’s truck for me.
The guy that owns the place told me the price, or should I say SUGGESTED a price, and asked if I thought it was fair. Having had this same service performed twice a year for several years at NTB, I felt that it was more than fair.
I even got to have a nice conversation with the owner about cars and other bullshit before I left, completely satisfied.
