    I work @ Wal- Mart, for 8 years now. I worked in the oil & tire shop for 2 of those years. First, the techs are trained in house, even as an employee, they left the oil cap off my camaro on the first oil change. Second, the equipment they have is second rate, they only train to change the tires they sell. I was always sending customers to better places for custom tires & rim work. The sales people at the counter could have been a cart pusher last week. Basicly if you have a car that has hubcaps, its the place to go. But thats about it for the service. Gotta love the prices on oil & cleaning products tho.

        ugh...I wouldn't go to walmart...


        hit up the old guy with the small used tireshop to mount your tires cheap, and pay attention to what he is doing.

              cant always trust ebay..... gotta know your sources and yes sometimes you will get screwed. if the tires still have tread and are in decent condition other that the holes, get some plugs or patches for it.... itll be good as new! (sorta)
