thankfully it all went onto my firestone account, but that maxes it back out, I almost had it paid off....otherwise i'd have thrown the tires on there hopefully they'll last a while, the guys like they need replaced there's major wear on the edges.... i'm like if it can't go on my account i can't do it right now....he told me that next weekend though they are doing some sale (all firestones) so if i come back then it'd be cheaper....hopefully it'll last til then and maybe I can have some money to fix that....he said it should be around $250 instead of $400 if i come back next weekend....

That’s great news how much cheaper it would be. I hope it works out for you.

Rotate the tires, with the worn tires on the rear they will be ok for awhile. Hopefully the rear tires have more tread, anyway I am surprised they didn’t just do that for you. You need to find a cheaper repair shop than firestone!!

Great advice! Never even thought about that.

Hiya Dale

It wasn’t too bad. The funk has left the building I felt pretty good while working. Was definitely happy to hear them locking the front doors at closing time. Happy to have 3 days mostly to myself. I do have a memorial to go to in the morning. Childhood best friends mom passed away and we have the info meeting at the school Monday but ahhhh peace and enjoyment are scheduled for the weekend.

Good morning lurkers

i'm fairly sure they did rotate them....
er well the brake work I had to do yesterday because I couldn't drive anywhere else, i was stuck....even the mechanic admitted he was too afraid to take my van for a test drive, he's like I drove it around the parking lot and was like omg no I can't take this on the streets.... I'm not even joking I was driving white knuckled clutching the steering wheel driving there the entire time just going dear god please just let me make it there... and trying my best not to have to use my brakes the entire drive...
so now all that's left is just replacing the tires which would run around $400, but next weekend he said it'd be around $250

I wish there was somewhere cheaper around here but unfortunately firestone is the cheapest and they opened a credit line for me....to find cheaper I'd need to drive about an hour away...

Shadav sorry if I sounded like an a.. didn’t mean too Being safe for yourself and others is all that matters

 

[Shadav]

na you didn't.... there's not any self owned mechanic shops around here unfortunately

 

[Sara Love]

Shad that’s great news.

oh it's been the adventures with shadz today...
my alarm went off and I told it no thankfully I actually did wake up 20 minutes later
as I went outside to leave for work, my blocked in by a firetruck and 2 ambulances....text my boss letting her know i'd be late and sent her the picture....
on the way to work my van started running ruff like a flat tired but didn't have a flat
as I left work omg pressed on my brakes and nothing.....then a grinding noise....I was so scared....driving white knuckled for 30 minutes trying not to have to use my breaks to get from work to firestone.....
sat for 5 1/2 hours while they worked on my van.... $800 later it's drivable and still need another $400 to replace the 2 front tires....I was like omg just stop....as they were checking the van to figure out what was wrong (in case it wasn't just the brakes) they're like so your oil might be leaking, we'll check....oh and your front tires need replaced soon....oh and so your brakes the caliper is broken and ate up the pads and messed up the rotor....oh and that shock is busted..... i'm like if you tell me oh and one more time I'm gonna start crying

So, I assume you van isn't too new. Please be careful about repairs and those tires sound way expensive. Hope it works out for you.

They really want to sell those tires!

Good morning everyone

Shadav sorry if I sounded like an a.. didn’t mean too Being safe for yourself and others is all that matters

Good morning Joey
You were just being helpful, I agreed with your suggestion; no way we could know there wasn’t any thing else available

So, I assume you van isn't too new. Please be careful about repairs and those tires sound way expensive. Hope it works out for you.

Good morning shadow
Depends if that’s two or four tires

Good afternoon lurkers

Home from the service. It was lovely. Now I’ve the rest of the day to myself (sorta). Decided to grab a cold one and sit on the deck for a bit. Partly sunny out with a nice breeze. Low 70s.

I hope you are all having a nice day!

2010 honda odyssey it's not old but it's not new... and freaking expensive tires, the guy recommended different tires because he says since it's a heavy vehicle it really needs different tires than what I have would help on the wear and tear

Good morning Shadav
