TTQ B4U Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) 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! http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/158027016/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/158027015/original.jpg http://www.pbase.com/timothylauro/image/158027017/original.jpg http://www.carid.com/images/yokohama/yokohama-avid-ascend.jpg ^^ 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. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj84/crms3er/Tires2_zps9070d621.jpg Edited November 1, 2014 by TTQ B4U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 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 Hey, and it's a local private company too, so supporting the independents really counts too IMO.

Geeesammy Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 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.

Mr. Jones Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Only complaint I have is just me being picky, seeing no jackstand's makes me pucker. 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..

SRTurbo04 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Wait is that derek changing a tire in the fusion picture?? Derek My new ride needs to swap the tires, flip them around and put the white walls on the inside not the outside you guys do something that small or ?

TurboRust Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 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..

jeffro Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 What happens if the client has a gravel or dirt driveway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Gravel we can do, dirt not really. We usually just try to set it up in a nearby parking lot.. once again the service is quick we're usually not there long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboRust Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 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.

Not Brian Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Wow that is awesome.. Would be perfect for people wanting to keep the old tires but don't have the room in their car, like for a Winter swapout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I'm currently looking for some new tires for the RAV. As soon as I settle on a couple idea, I may give you a ring, Derek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
