Service with a Smile - Fletcher's Tire and Auto

 

Service with a Smile - Fletcher's Tire and Auto

 One of my most favorite things to do with my new blogging hobby is to tattle on someone doing something wonderful!

new tire and rimToday I put another 100 miles on my car, racking up the miles on my new tires of a week ago.  About 2 miles from home, I suddenly heard the most awful sound eminating from my front passenger tire.  My daughter got out to look and saw nothing, but I was afraid that something had come loose within the tire or worse, that the wheel would somehow fall off.

I called Fletcher's Tire and Auto in a bit of a panic, and said I was on my way in - about 15 minutes away.  I was afraid to go over 40, and called my husband to follow me down the road.  All the way, the tire rubbed and groaned.

As I pulled into Fletchers Tire and Auto, one of the service men followed me to my parking spot. 

"I heard you drive in", he said.  "I'll go take it for a spin."

He circled round the large parking lot and pulled into one of the auto bays.  I could just hear the dollar signs adding up in my head.

new tiresLong story short - a rock had kicked up into the wheel pad area and caught.  The gentleman pulled out the rock, fixed a flap in the wheel well from installation day that had worked its way loose, and sent me on my way with a smile.  No charge.

NO CHARGE!  Almost unheard of in this day - especially with a chain franchise.

His smile was contagious - I think I smiled all the way home.

Thank you Fletcher Tire and Auto - Tangerine Road, Marana, AZ. How wonderful that good old fashioned service with a smile still exists.

P.S. Need new tires?  They've got a deal going on right now that includes balancing, 4 free oil changes, and tire alighment.
