He blew up, walked into the garage and starting swearing and that he would just push some through, it was the busiest part of the FU$#%king day, etc. The reason I was upset is that I called first to check their schedule.

They were able to fit us in within the hour and gave us recommendations on what to do until then. Turns out there was nothing visibly wrong with the tire, no holes or anything, so they couldn't do anything on the spot. They didn't charge for the inspection and filling up the tire. We very much appreciated their help and are glad to know we can wait until we get back to deal with the tire instead of worry all weekend. We definitely recommend and would come back if we have a problem (hopefully we don't). Very friendly, great service.

Everyone makes mistakes, it is how you handle them that shows your true colors. The money that I spent hurts, but also being stranded on a highway is a horrible experience I hope no one has to go through.
