tires and good service

Hi all. About a month ago I was on a trip with my family. On the way home the passenger's inside dual failed. I stopped and called CAA. It took an hour for them to arrive--and the truck sent didn't have a big enough jack.

However they sent another vehicle--and he was able to replace the destroyed tire. He was smart enough to check the driver's side--and told me I would never make the destination with that tire.

A third tow truck with a flat bed was called and they moved me direct to the tire dealership 212 kilometres away.

I always do a wheel alignment after I get new tires--and the Ford dealership checked the vehicle over--and I needed new front brakes.

This could have been an extremely dangerous situation. Instead it merely took some extra time.

 

 

  • Do you know if we still have the old archives from RV.NET?

    They were very valuable.

      Hi NBrybdraRet,

       

      Yes but you will need to use the search function to find them as they did not keep the original "topics"

       

  • Hi MNtundraRet,

     

    Many of the forums have been melded together. They have chosen to do so by area--so there is a midwest, and a pacific and etc.

    The search engine does work--and they are still "building" the various forums. If you can remember some words or titles then you may find your "home away from home" again.

     

    Seasons Greetings!

     

  • This may be off topic, but you are one of the people I knew on the old Open Road forum. Does that still exist? It was still there about 2 weeks ago.
