hey everyone, so i was looking around for a hub ring for my car, and overseas auto recommened me this company. i gave the guy, Jack, a call, and he came two days later at my house to install it for me.
Jack was a great guy to have a conversation and he was very careful with my rims and his work. He explain couple of risks by installing TPMS, and how he might not be able to reset it since my car was a new car. and couple of other small points. he explained to me where was best to store my factory rims and how to store them. Also, what was best to use on my rims.
All his machines have rubber covers on them, so bascially rims dont get scratched. his price was fair and he was ontime.
here is a pic of him and couple pic of my car and rims  |

+1 for Jack and Roadrunners. I use them at work, and their service is second to none.

they didnt charge me a fee to come out if they are doing work for sure.
but if for some reason, they cannot do the work because the customer had defect parts, they charge 65 for coming out to coquitlam

+1 on Roadrunners too, used them twice but had the guy who works for Jack (the owner), Tyler. He was just as friendly and knowledgeable.
Decent pricing too, I think it was $75 for a re/re on 4 tires.

I phoned them up for an appointment to fix a puncture. Quoted me $45 to come out and the repairs costs would be $20-35, depend what needs to be done. A bit pricey, but it's the convenience factor that seals the deal. The last time I got a puncture fixed at Volco, it was about $50 and about 2hrs of my time.

You mean this guy comes to you and does a tire change, repairs and stuff?
Very interesting.
I know a japanese guy who does the same thing with my high end kitchen knives. These people are the super nerds that can be trusted to get their stuff done, and done right.

Yea i guess if you arent able to drive, then hes good...
what does BCAA charge to fix a flat?
