Yes they do. And they clean all your wheels for you and put tire shine on them as well. Well, at least the one near my house does. :)

I swear a few irresponsible people ruin it for the rest of us.

Nail Count so far : 8
in 6 months....

two of which destroyed the metal lining of the tread... resulting in two brand new matching tires for $100 bucks a pop.

I swear my yaris is a nail-magnet.

You have any enimies? That is a lot of nails. Do you have an ex or a co worker that hates you? No offence but you are either a nail magnet as you say or someone out there doesn't like you at all.

meh Idk... like I said my neighbor had his roof redone... I seriously think the nails just fell off the truck.... in the neighborhood... weird thing is that my family's cars were the only getting them... and they were imbedded into the side tread, which meant they were unfixable....

I did go through the whole "who hates me right now...." and maybe I did have an enemy...

this last one was true badluck.
A baggie full of black twist-ties and screws... I guess they used some then ditched them in the parking lot... the screw had attached the bag to my tire... pulled the bag off when i could hear it hitting my tire well and sure enough one of the suckers was stuck right in my tread...
