    think they are affiliated with discount/americas tire. been using discount tire for about 14 years now. air checks for free. free rotations. buy the replacement certificate.
    no issues wirh any set I've bought.

    do dealership for oil changes/maintenance.  bought lifetime extended warranty.  $100 deductable for all covered items. 9 yr old ram 1500.  buy the 2 for or 3 for oil change package helps reduce the cost.

    no muss no fuss. they fuck up. its covered. by them. or it escalates to ram.......

    love this truck. love no payment!!!!!!

    real men change their own oil.
    I knew it was coming. 
    I knew someone here would have just that fucking reply. 

    Do it yourself. 

    I have one fucking hand, I don't have the tools, its not happening. 
    And Barry Bonds is a PIECE OF SHIT! hahahahahaha
    in that case, speedy old boy, find yourself a trusted mechanic. for stuff a little more challenging than an oil change, I’ve got a guy down the street who is honest as the day is long. I’ve recommended him to others and they’re all impressed.
    This is the answer. Find a reputable shop and let them do everything.

    So you buy your tires online, have them shipped to installer of your choice, then pay for installation?

    I had a 2010 Jeep Patriot and didn't have that experience at all. I have never had to have as much work done on the front suspension on any vehicle that I have owned.

    When I owned a car (been driving company cars for the last 9 years) I would have everything done at the dealer repair shop.  Yes, I know it costs a lot more, but I never once had an issue with them.

    fyi,

    bored to tears so googled the question.
    autozonre , O'Reilly's, and others as well as Tractor Supply Company accept used motor oil for recycling free. Check with your city or county for options as well.

    Speedy - 7 quarts, full synthetic, and filter. Cost about 45 bucks, took me 30 minutes and I didn’t try to upsell myself on any other maintenance. 👍
