A couple days ago, my son got a flat tire right across from Mikes Countryside body shop. He called…read moreme to pick him up. When I got there Luke Weber and another guy were there talking to my son. He told my son to pull the car into their lot so no one would get hit on the road. He then looked at the tire and asked if we had a spare tire. We did but IT was flat. He suggested we call Shorty and see if he had any tires the size I needed. He didn't, but they would be in there tomorrow. Luke then went a got a jack and took of the flat and had the flat spare filled with air, and put it on for us so we could at least get home. I offered Luke some money and he refused and said he was glad he could help. I was thinking that if Mike's Countryside employees treat people who weren't even their customers that good, can you imagine how well they'd treat their customers!!! Thanks Luke Weber and Mike's Countryside!! Becki :)

It was extremely hot out. So when the man had changed out the tires for me I told him to just put the flat and cover in the trunk. I told him it's to hot out and when I get the flat fixed I will have them put the cover back on, not to worry. Well was informed by the garage that fixed my flat, they cannot put the cover back as it was damaged. The zipper area was ripped out of the cover liner. Now I cannot put it back on. Called Deans explained what happened. Was asked what year my car was. Told him, 2010. He said it was probably just dried out from the sun after so many years. (I don't care how old it was, you damaged it.) I stated now anyone can walk up with a lug wrench and just grab the tire. He stated they can do that with the cover on. I get that but it wouldn't as easy. Not to mention the bolts will now be exposed the weather, you know, rain, snow the things that rust out metal. I have contacted my Ins to inform them that damage was done by Deans, and they will not make it right. Maybe Deans should be taken off their list.
