So... took Rosie in for her yearly inspection and an oil change, and got a call from my mechanic. Done, got the sticker, but there's one thing we need to take care of...
Apparently, after a year and a half, and definitely NOT 50K miles (maybe 25K), I need new tires. This is a problem, not so much on the money end (though I can certainly think of other things I'd rather spend almost $400 on right now...), but because that's maybe HALF of the wear they're rated for. This makes me rather grumpy.
I need to find my receipts, and documentation of 'yes, I did what I was supposed to and got them rotated every 6K miles', but I doubt the shop (not my awesome local mechanic, who I should have gone to in the first place) is going to do anything about it... Ron's looking for the highest snow-rated all season tires he can find, and I think I'm proably just going to suck it up, refund/credit (unlikely) or no, and go get tires from the guys I should have gone to last March...
Talk to me, LJ... how much recourse do I have in getting something back, or will going to the tire shop do nothing but serve to satisfy my righteous indignation and frustration?
