Sunday, 21 August 2011, SCOTTSDALE, AZ, The Ninth Amendment discourages readers from READING UNLIMITED NEW YORK TIMES MATERIAL WITHOUT PAYING TO AVOID THE TIMES "PAYWALL" SIMPLY BY READERS USING THEIR FIREFOX BROWERS SET TO "PRIVATE BROWSING". For our loyal readers who have followed recent Ninth Amendment posts our plan is in place to greatly expand the breadth, content and formatting of the Ninth Amendment with the addition of new editors and staff members to expand on our core log material which readers have grown to expect.
Just one element of that expansion to the Ninth Amendment will be significantly expanded coverage of consumer issues including the personal opinions garnered where there is generally a consensus of Ninth Amendment editors and staff as to some of the best values in top products and reliable services that we have found through personal experience.
Our unsolicited and uncompensated post of months back regarding tips on our experiences regarding two of the best ways to take advantage of often steep discounts for the same United States quality prescription drugs readers may have previously felt compelled to purchase for much more has generated a healthy and steady response of readers interested in reviewing the facts of that post, which can be found by the past posts in this log for prescription drugs discounted cheaper.
In this post we provide our entirely unsolicited and uncompensated opinion as to where much of our staff believes they have found some of the most competitive pricing combined with lifelong servicing of automobile (we are unsure as to light truck) tires. As mentioned in a recent post, the name of the tire dealer we have found to be just about everywhere in the United States is the ubiquitous simply named DISCOUNT TIRE. The reason for a consensus of Ninth Amendment editors and staff (those who drive and at least occasionally buy things new!) is that they have found that in every state they have been there has been a DISCOUNT TIRE outlet (PLEASE CHECK THIS READERS, NOT RESEARCHED!) which has been staffed by enthusiastic and helpful tire technicians to help new and old customers alike.
As best we at the Ninth Amendment can tell, the prices of tires there are very competitive, although we do not purport to have done any kind of rigorous marketing analysis or any kind of scientific-level research and reporting of the type we have only found in Consumer Reports. There, another purely editors and staff personal recommendation from us unsolicited and of course uncompensated, but by paying attention we find opportunities to subscribe to CONSUMER REPORTS digitally or in print for about (that is MORE or LESS loyal readers) $22 a year, often we believe including a yearly summary of product testing in an included paperback which we have found invaluable including for cars along with the annual car issue of the magazine.
Back to tires, we have without fail found that when we have decided to purchase (with no pressure) a tire or tires from DISCOUNT TIRE the price or a slightly increased price (?) includes as best we recall lifetime balancing, air pressure readings, air fill-ups and lost valve stem caps just by driving into the bay area of any DISCOUNT TIRE, and we believe, at one time anyway, repair of flats. However, we are not experts in this area and lately have come to believe that the more traditional "patch" to a tire is returning in many cases for a flat that is not felt to be safely repaired with a "plug". This may mean a difference in service coverage or cost. We do not know! Please ask, but not us! Of course, we will not even get going on the great Click and Clack.
Finally, a future post will also discuss the benefits we have found with more or less sticking with the same mechanic throughout the life of a car (at least if purchased used after the warranty period). There is nothing like coming to trust your mechanic, and look for the various certifications they can earn, and also knowing that if they say that someone "did a lousy job" on this, you both know exactly who it was. But in our experience that therefore does not happen. Finally, should the time come to sell your (hopefully) beloved car, your mechanic most likely will be more than happy to confirm with the potential buyer the work you really have done to maintain the car well. If you do not have the records, todays' mechanics most likely will have them in your computers.
We also understand that the owner of DISCOUNT TIRE never has the stores open on Sundays and from time to time will do something any time of the year such as pay employees a bonus for the week which doubles their pay that week. Sounds like the America we once heard about. . . .
A recap, many of us at the Ninth Amendment have been very satisfied with the prices, value, and lifetime servicing we have received for our tires at DISCOUNT TIRE. This does NOT mean there are lots of other great tire dealers out there, including your very own regular mechanic who may well partly depend on the sales of things such as tires and batteries to stay in business. We invite all comments and observations but are determined to pass on what we at the Ninth Amendment is valuable consumer information which can increase readers standard of living without requiring greater income. A laudable goal, we believe.
AGAIN, THIS POST WAS NOT SOLICITED BY ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, NOR HAVE WE RECEIVED ANY COMPENSATION FOR IT. WE DO NOT EVEN KNOW IF DISCOUNT TIRE ADVERTISES, AND IF AN AD POPS UP YOU CAN REST EASY KNOWING ANYTHING GOES INTO GOOGLE'S POCKET, NOT OURS. HEY, MAYBE WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT....
