Wow that’s some crazy bad luck with vehicles. I’m glad you finally found out what the real problem was. But yes… I only take my car to the dealership. That’s the only place the warranty is actually valid. But they fix it with OEM parts, and if there’s a problem I go right back there and a bitch them out. And yes they don’t always do their job, but they’re always a little worried when they see me coming. I’ve been taking my car there for seven years, and I don’t think they make that much money doing warranty repairs.
Oddly enough I’ve had the same problems with tires. One day I got two flat tires on the same side of my car. Talk about trying to get somebody out to fix that. It was a nightmare. AAA will only send somebody out to assist you with your vehicle if you have a spare, but if you have two flat tires you only have one spare. Let’s just say I flipped out on him that day.
I too have had multiple flat tires within weeks or in the same month of one another. I mean ridiculous amounts of flat tires, screws, nuts, bolts, and just basic $10 tire repairs over and over.
I don’t know where you bought your tires, but the dealership had a special on Goodyear tires by three get one free. We’re set of tires I’ve ever had. I’m pretty sure that they’re either poorly made, or defective on purpose. Yes there’s a warranty on them from the dealership, but you’re not gonna go all the way to the dealership for a screw in your tire, or stuff like that.
I will never buy tires from the dealership ever again, and I will never buy tires on special. Do you think you’re getting a deal, but in the long run, the amount of problems that you have to deal with it’s not worth the savings.
One time I had to empty my entire trunk out, and change my tire myself, because AAA couldn’t be there for at least an hour. This was in the summer, and Arizona in 110° I’m a woman, not one person stop to offer me assistance, even the security officer for that Shopping Center, sat at a distance and watched. I was furious! However, I do know how to change a tire, And every woman should.
This is what feminism has done to the world. Also it was some upscale shopping center with like an AJ‘s or high-end fruit and vegetable market. Of course no one‘s going to stop… They’re all too busy trying to keep up with the Joneses to help anybody. Snobs!
Haha you seem to have your fair share of luck, and agreed on people being less helpful l. Though in my experience someone usually stops and offers a jump or something but if the damage is more than a dead battery, not much they can do.
Good on you, everyone should learn the basics. Many people don't even check air pressure, fluids, etc. Let alone know how to change a tire on the fly.
Usually when I'm in my car I have somewhere to be so ill stop by pulled over people and ask if they're okay and if they need to make a call or something.
When I'm Joy riding on the motorcycle I pull over for basically anyone stopped on the side of the highway. Helped a clueless guy change his tire, it was so rusted I had to ride to a hardware store to get some 3 in 1 and ended up with more stains on my hands and face than Trudeau in blackface.
I've found bikers pull over far more for me, probably because like me, they are joy riding and spot a brother in distress haha.
Thank you for being such a helpful person. So many people just don’t wanna help others anymore. It’s so sad. Especially when you’re on the side of the road.
I have a Ryobi handheld air compressor. It’s tiny, but it works perfectly fine on car tires. It’s cordless, so I keep a battery in my trunk. I use it all the time. And I mean all the time. If my tires are low, I’ll just pull over and any parking lot, and make sure that they’re all the same psi. Not to mention it comes in handy for other things as well. I think it’s $100 total with the battery. Of course mine was cheaper because I bought it a couple years ago, but worth every penny. Highly recommend!
