We were traveling home to the Midwest from Clearwater when a nine month old Michelin Defender 10 tire started to rapidly lose air pressure, apparently due to a manufacturer defect. We got the 12-year old never-before-used donut spare on and, with that also losing pressure, limped our way to Alex Tire Repair, recommended by a nice woman in a RaceTrac station. Alex and his staff were Absolutely EXCELLENT. They quickly replaced the donut with a new tire with similar tread to the Michelin, checked and filled the remaining three tires, inspected the donut, replaced it in the trunk and sent us on our way, all in about 15 minutes and for about $160, for a Brand New tire! Furthermore, Alex asked that we call to let him know we made it home. I cannot tell much that meant to us. Thank You, Alex, and your guys, for making two strangers from the midwest fell valued and for getting us safely back on the road. read more
