Xplicit97 · 01-12-2013, 03:49 PM

Being former military Im aware of what a hobby shop is, and I did use it pretty frequently when I lived on base, however a good friend of mine kinda ran it, and he was the only one who touched my car.. this was on Vandenberg AFB. As far as getting them to pay Im pretty sure you are SOL. I also find it hard to believe that there is no tire shop within 100 miles.. If nothing else most bases, at least the ones I have been on have a AAFES tire shop on base that does this stuff, but to be honest I wouldn't trust them either with a Z. What base are you at? Google is your friend.. Personally I think you tried to cheap out and got.burned, chalk it up to a loss learn from it and move on..

I did say there was no LEGIT tire shop within 100 miles, not there's not ANY tire shop within 100 miles. Used to have a g6 gtp couple years ago and when I took it to Firestone I was waiting forever so I looked in the garage and my car wasn't there so went outside and saw some dirt ball that was working on it flying down the road. I mean he was bookin it, taking it to the limit. Another experience that made me just say wtf. I'm stationed in Mississippi so the closest LEGIT tire shop would be about 100 miles away in either Jackson or Tuscaloosa, AL
