Repair/Service: All four tires replaced, battery cables welded

Hourly Rate: $80.00

Total Cost: $180.00

1997 dodge caravan wouldn't start, Hall's Auto has a towing company that they work with and they are fairly reasonably priced, so I just called Hall's and they called the company for mand included towing cost with their bill so i dodn't have to write two seperate checks. Price was approx $60 for the towing, and the tow truck driver was very considerate and let me ride in the truck with him.
When I got there Tim popped the hood and immediately started explaining the various possibilities as to why it wouldn't start. Luckily it was just the cables which had become pretty badly coroded. Instead of just replacing them and thus costing me alot more money (He knew I was a single mom and didn't want to spend more than absolutely necesary), he welded them on tighter and showed me how they worked so that if I ever had another problem in the future I'd know what to do.
I needed to replace the tires all too, so I bought four new ones from pep boys(They had a buy3-get4-free deal, and I cheated and got a warranty on just one of the four so that if i blew one tire they could fix it, much cheaper than paying for all four)
He charged me just $10 per tire for installation and balancing.
He's honest and a genuinely good guy and I wouldn't think of using anyone else
