Midas f-cked up my last truck i took it in to have the ball joints replaced, oil changed,and everything greased, my dad had them check the front axle to see if anything needed to be replaced and the crackhead working on it broke one of the lock out parts,it ended up costing me a whole day of school and $900.00 for everything,i went into the shop at 8am and didnt get out until 4pm,the guy had to fight with the oil filter to get it out from under the truck,so the assh0le droped the lift and the weight of the truck smashed it,after that he lifted the truck back up and pulled the filter out,i had to spend another hour getting the wheels alined and ballenced at firestone,ill never go to Midas again for anything

LOL at all the Walmart stories.But this is new to me.My wally mart doesn't have a repair shop.But that might be because my wally mart is in the middle of the sticks.I know my local Sears USED to do repair work,but i'm not sure if they do anymore.

I just bought 4 Goodyear tires from WalMart on Friday. When I saw the price I was charged, I said, "Wait a minute, the price on the sign is $5 per tire cheaper than what you charged me". They checked the sign and gave me the tires for the lower price. I went home and mounted them, and wound up saving $31 more than if I would have bought them online. Of course now something on my truck will break that costs $32.
