Choked on Tire Prices
Today I took my wifes car in for a oil change at a Goodyear retailer ($9.95
for oil, filter, lube and tire rotations).. While I was there.. I saw a
really nice set of MT/Rs 32x11.50R15 and started to drool.. I asked "How
much for these tires?" The guy behind the counter then said (Don't choke)
"Oh, those are $250 a piece.." He then went on about how they are special
off road tires and blah, blah, blah... I about choked on my soda I was
drinking.. At those prices, he can keep them.. I have found them at Sam's
Club for like $140 a piece...

Re: Choked on Tire Prices
My friend just had his BMW Z4 oil changed with fully synthetic. The dealer
charged:
Oil 166.55 ( 88.13 GBP) for 6.5 litres.
Labour 111.03 (58.75 GBP)
Filter 14.43 (7.63 GBP)
Total 292.01 (154.51 GBP)
Couldn't believe it .... Makes the Jeep dealer look great !

Re: Choked on Tire Prices
WTH?! Did they have the pull the goddamn engine out?! $111 for labour!!!
HAHAHAHA! For that price they should have licked his seats clean. I guess if
he can afford a Z4 tho that shouldn't be a big deal. I'm sure that's the
mentality of BMW, as well.
