They charged me $30 for a plug which is a quick, cheap temporary fix, not what I requested or expected. When I called to inquire what was done and why they didn’t patch it as requested, the explanation was “the city won’t let us have a tire changer”.

Their work received a compliment by another technician since, saying that the work looked clean and he wanted to know where I had the work done. I will be bring
