Default Tire Service

Figure for April 1, that I would share a funny story... My grandfather pulled a good one on my Aunt! was April 1, and as she was walking out the door he told her to make sure she stoped at the garage today and have them change the winter air out of her tires with spring air... Yes she did it...LOL

Happy April Foolin' to all!

When I was a kid working at a full service gas station, one of the mechanics got me on April Fool's Day with the old muffler bearing trick. They thought it was a riot. They got my buddy who also worked there by telling him they needed to prime a carb they were working on. They sent him out to the pump with a styrofoam coffee cup and asked him to fill it up. About halfway back to the shop, the cup melted in his hand. It was hilarious!
