        aren't you in fergas though...

        I guess I should explain my Tires Plus experience.... New tires mounted and balanced, yet whomever the bonehead was that did it never cleaned the mud out of the inside of the wheel before balancing it. Needless to say they were far from balanced when that dirt came out. Just seemed so mindless to me, hence my frustration and reason I'm staying away from TP for anything but the free balance/rotations on this set of rubber.

                  No, but I do live in Fergus. It pains me to hear people stab a place because of one bad experience. I do see your complaint and it is a legitimate one. Did you go back and explain it to them that they didn't clean the wheel out before balancing? I know that if there's an issue with the workmanship here, we take care of it right away which is why I initially took offense to your post. I hurts every Tires plus's name when one is blamed for wrong doing.

                    stay away from Tires Plus.

                    Dave Henry pointed me to an alignment shop in Mhd - the guy who runs it is the tech inspector at IDR. They're reasonable and did a great job on my Supra. Can't think of the name of the place, but its by the big Anheiser Busch plant in the industrial park. I'd recommend those guys - cheap, good work, and they support the racers.

                    DH - you remember the name of the business?

                      Which one are you guys referring to? The one in Fargo or Moorhead? They must be a bunch of idiots up there to have sooo many people bad talk them. It may have something to do with the fact that they are corporate owned buisinesses and not privately owned. Oh well I wont stick up for them seeing as how I don't know how they operate.

                          That just goes to show that you can't please everybody all the time. Just be sure that your clear of what you want to have done before you have it done. 99% of the time, good communication between the customer and the shop solves the problem before it ever happens.

                                      yea I'm from Fergus.....Back when I lived there, I went to Tires Plus for all my oil changes/alignments etc. I was always pleased with them. Good customer service especially; there was one guy who always remembered me, and was real friendly.

                                        never had time. I was fighting for time to even get them installed in the first place. not to mention I was already frustrated that the 'hour-hour and a half' install turned into atleast 3 hours.

                                          IT's true, I've seen them. I use to work at Jiffy lube next door, So I would see them do the occasional "Tire test" or "spin" around the block. If you go in the back ally, you can see plenty of tire marks back there, and they aren't all from employee cars either.

                                          That was a while ago however, but I do remember your yellow Evo being there once.

                                          Oh yeah, don't take your car to the Jiffy lube. Ever.
