We get to the store and the clerk tells us it will be 1.5 hours before the tire is fixed. That’s to get it fixed. Not replaced but plugged. Stunned as we were, we politely said ok, handed over the keys and walked to Jack in the Box to pass the time. Close to 2.5 hours later we have not heard from Discount Tire so we head back to the store. We arrive in time to see them pull our car from the bay and park it. It took almost 2.5 hours to plug a tire? What the hell!!!

So we go on our way and think things are great until Scott notices that both valve caps on the driver side tires are now missing. Gone. He asks: “Did you put the caps back on this morning?” Indignantly I reply, “of course.” I then relay how I KNOW I put the caps back on because I had to fish one out of the wheel well. Not only are the nice silver ones that came with the car gone, but they had the gall to put a crummy black cheap one on one of the tires. Like we wouldn’t notice.

How do people think it is remotely an ok thing to do to take something that does not belong to you? Maybe I am overly sensitive seeing as my car was stolen from me last September. It just seems to be a sad statement on life when a persons valve caps are not safe at the tire store.
