The price of everything goes up with time. It's unavoidable. I have never had a problem with GS and continue to be a loyal customer. We have only been on "a hook" twice but in both case the right wrecker with a knowledgeable driver arrived. My toad also threw a belt and the driver took me to the Firestone service center recommended by GS. Well, it had been out of business for years and the driver took me to another one about 10 miles away. He smiled and laughed and we had a great conversation along the extended ride.
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?
