Derek & Best One Thumbs Up

Recommended Posts

So how do you do the following without lifting a finger or leaving your house?

 

 

  • Get the best price around installed on 4 new tires for a minivan
  • Rotate the tires on a Sedan
  • Install Snow Tires on third car

 

Call or Text our buddy Derek Johnson aka TurboRust aka da-tireguru. (614) 519-2971

 

I texted him about replacing some tires on the minivan after he did great with a set of Michelins on my company car. Not only did he give me a sweetheart deal, they had a rebate and damn, this is the quietest the Van has ever been.

 

While here, his crew of two rotated my Fusion Michilins and pulled the Winter setup off my shelf and installed them on the MS3 Just in case it needs to be driven in a pinch.

 

All done in less time than I ate lunch and all while at my house!

 

Thumbs up to an awesome deal that beat Tire Rack by bus lengths. Thanks for like the 5th time man!

^^ The above are quite possilbly the quietest tire I've had on a vehicle. Really a HUGE night and day difference. I was willing to pay 2x for any good tire and Derek is aware of that but highly recommended the above as a better value overall. He was spot-on too. The minivan is riding great and I can't wait to see them perform in rain and snow.

 

The MS3 doesn't get driven in winter, but in case it's needed, she'll be ready.

That's pretty slick!

 

Yeah.....I had two neighbors ask my wife about this as they are tired of lugging kids to and from and sitting inside a tire store with stale donuts and coffee :p

 

Hey, and it's a local private company too, so supporting the independents really counts too IMO.

That is badass!! How much extra would a service like this run per car or trip?

 

Only complaint I have is just me being picky, seeing no jackstand's makes me pucker.

 

Other than that this looks like a genius idea, I'm amazed it hasn't caught on more.

At least you aren't assuming the risk.

 

Worst case scenario is you have an EMT visit while you get your tires done. :gabe:

 

Chances of 2 hydraulic jacks failing simultaneously is pretty low though..

Not happy about the lack of jack stands that theyre supposed to be using....but the guys are very quick and I rarely use one at home when working on my own cars.

 

Paul no job to big or small

And no I'm skinnier than that I don't have to touch cars anymore..

 

Cody we are based outta obetz so our service grid is a little biased this way..

Like to support a local guy,will use in the future.

 

You should go on Shark tank !

 

I wish it was my creation but it isn't. It was created in 1989 under the name Convenient Tire Valet, but last year we consolidated with our commercial service center and took on the Best One name.
