A Web Log about ASE-certified services from A Phantom Tire Buyer with a Secret Identity
Dear Diary,
Dear reader: I couldn’t believe my ears. I was speaking with Mr. McGillicuddy, who lives just across the way from my lair, in a top secret location. He was happily recounting a recent game of the football that he’d watched on television, when suddenly, out of nowhere, he asked “Hey Phantom, you know anyone I could trust to do my brakes?”
‘Whaaa??!! I was so taken aback that I was reduced to sputtering.”
“But, but Tire Discounters!!”
“Not tires, those are good. Need brakes.”
“My good sir! Tire Discounters offers unmatched professionalism when it comes to ALL maintenances services, and I believe it’s fair to say that brake service leads the way!”
“Okay, okay, don’t get your cape all in a bunch. Didn’t know.”
“I blame myself! I get so excited about alignments, which, by the way, Tire Discounters offers for free with any 4-tire install using standard installation. And do you know why?”
“Because alignment is important?”
“You’re close. But I would say that it’s CRUCIAL! For long lasting tires that wear properly; for safety, and once a new tire is installed on a misaligned vehicle the mayhem that ensues can never be corrected!”
“So, about brakes.”
“Brakes! Yes! Before you sidetracked me, I was going to recommend that you take your vehicle to the ASE Certified technicians without delay! They will inspect your brakes at no charge. Then they will tell you how much time you have remaining on your current rotors and pads.”
“Will they shoot me straight?”
“What?”
“You know, be honest with me?”
“You have my word on that, as a Phantom Tire Buyer with a secret identity. After all, this is Tire Discounters we’re talking about!”
“Gotcha. Oh, one other thing. I think I need an oil change. Any ideas?”
And with that, dear reader, I’ll end this diary entry. In retrospect, my reaction to his question may have been a bit over the top.
