Woke up this morning to a tire with a nail. Took it to America's Tires. They told me that I didn't have any records on file for "maintenance". Was I suppose to check in with them every time I checked the tires in my driveway, aired it up, rotated them? Does anyone call them to tell them that the tire pressure was checked and to record the PSI? Who is the consumer protection agency that regulates these businesses?

I use to buy all my tires at America tire , went in for the same nail problem , and that’s what they told me , come to find out that set came from Costco ( which I totally forgot ) , they ended up fixing the tire for free because I had history of buying so many tire from them ,

What does tire rotation have to do with road hazard? Does every vehicle owner have to update America's Tire with service records? Where's this agreement? Where's the road hazard contract that says all tires must be serviced at their store?
You have to argue with them. I don't like that. It shows that they want to screw you. My business is going to another shop. Hopefully, a shop that isn't trying to cheat their customers. I used to go to Sears. Maybe Costco is better.

I had lunch at a local golf course. A municipal golf course. It's actually owned and operated by The City. So it's exactly like every other city park. Anyone can show up. You don't have to be a member. There's a club house, with a bar and a restaurant. "The Girl" says that places like that lack diversity. I shrug my shoulders. It's a public park. Anyone can go. It's not my fault that certain segments of the population don't play golf. I don't play golf. I just go there to eat. Sometimes I wonder if she would be more comfortable if there was a bunch of homies blasting loud music from a boom box, and drinking from 40 ounce bottles of malt liquor.

Dropped off the truck today at the repair shop. rode the scooter home. About an hour after I got home, I get a call from them telling me they are refunding the money they charged me and recommending I take the truck to a transmission shop. 
They say the problem must be internal. So, I will go back tomorrow and pick up the truck. They have a place they recommend. I may call them, or go over tomorrow, but most likely Thursday or Friday. It is easier to change gears with, but still harder than it was before all this happened.
