Llantera Tire

Have you ever had to put a new set of expensive tires on a leased car before returning it? Did you ever pay the dealer over $ 700 for a single tire (315×35ZR20) because no else had them in stock? Now, I’ll explain why I’m giving this tire shop with no name, no waiting room, no tax, and no questions — 5 Stars!
A fews year ago I turned in a Z4 and the dealer guy said that I needed a new front set of tires as they were over spec by a hair. I said, «Come on, the car has only 17,000 miles and I don’t want to spend $ 500 on two tires. Please help me out as I just lost my job». He then called someone on his cell phone and spoke in a quiet conspiratorial tone and told me,“Go to this address and they’ll replace your tires for a really good price”.
Had a hard time finding the place as they don’t even have an address posted. It looks like a fricken junk yard
. Pulled in and there was a nice Jag getting tires and a beat old pickup truck also getting tires. Hmmm. I got out of the car and the bossman came up and said ‘two front tires right?’. I said yes, «but they need to be run flat z rated factory originals». He said ‘yeah yeah yeah’. In less than a minute they put two jacks under my car and the tires were off.
Next, they roll out two new tires (new color stripe down the middle of the tread) for me to check. Yup, it’s factory original and nod approval. In 15 minutes the tires were balanced and installed (Nascar team fast). Bossman comes back over and says «$ 100″. I am really trying really hard not to jump with joy, laugh, and thank god. Hand over the money and was thinking ‘did he make a mistake?» By now, there was another bimmer and benz waiting for tires. This place is a trip.
The following year I had to turn my last leased car and it’s a lot worse as I knew I had to replace a pair of those fricken $ 735 tires. Shit, almost $ 1,500 bucks!!! No problem, I go back to the secret tire place. This time I got it down. Brought along $ 800 dollars cash (just in case and cash place only) and told bossman I need two rear tires factory spec replaced. $ 400 for two installed and again I want to jump for joy.
Here’s the deal. Ladies, send your boyfriend. Men, dress down and don’t ask questions like this dh «where do you get the tires?». Bossman told that guy basically WTF? It’s sort of like going piss at a baseball game, do your business and don’t talk to the guy next to you.
I know. But you’ll save a ton of money. Yup, my secret tire place. Look at my pics
so you’ll be able to find it. And Bossman may ask ‘who sent you?’. Just say ‘my friend has been here and told me about this place’. Yeah, I’m you’re friend. Yup.
