[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1675530, member: 39018"] However you want to fix a flat, it'd be pretty hard to expect somebody to do the work on your vehicle for nothing... unless it's to entice you to come there when you need a new set of tires. "Free" flat repair and tire rotation"for life" when you buy a new set isn't "free" either... in part it's the way they get you to buy from them vs. the competition that won't include this service... and for them, that's a calculated "insurance policy", just like selling extended warranties. They include it in the price of every set of tires they sell, but because they "include that extra service for free"... you buy from them............... I know I do. The average guy in town though rarely runs over anything that'll make his tire go flat. My point is, I don't work for "free", and I can't expect anybody else to either. Now that they're raising the minimum wage, they have to pay the guy in the shop more (even if he ISN'T being paid minimum wage). That drives up prices all up and down the line. Add to that the trucking issues now with not enough drivers and fuel going up............. heaven knows we don't want to call it "inflation", but it all has to be affected, or you can't get the service.
