Day 11 - Second day in Eugene Oregon

7/21/09 (Tues)

We all had cereal for breakfast in the morning. Lawrence wanted to go back to the bookstore again, as soon as he finish cereal he went back to the store. Tom and me went to look for tire store, cause Tom wants to change both his rear tires of his truck. First stop we went to the Firestone in the same mall to check the price, salesman gives us two difference prices, one is two for $207 and the another were $333. Later on he told us he did not have either tires in the store, he sent us to the downtown location. Next we went to American Tires store to check on the price, we found a set of exact size tires. The salesman told us these tires were made in Japan and the tires were about nine months old. Tom wanted to check Walmart store to see if the tire would be cheaper, when we were in Walmart the salesman told Tom if you want this metric (31 X 10.5) tire, you needed to change all four tires? They could not sell you two tires per the store policy. Then we went to Firestone at downtown location, which was past 5:00 p.m. they have the tires Tom wants and it will cost us $320 for both tires, after I applied for the Firestone credit card it will be 10% and totals cost will be $288. While we were waiting we went to the Eugene Library, it only took us 5 minutes to walk over there.


Around 5:35 p.m. the salesman called Tom cell phone said our truck was ready to pick up. We got the truck and went back to Barn and Nobel to pick up Lawrence and went to Wendy for dinner. After that we went to Super Walmart again to buy air filter, oil filter and milk. After we got back, I found out Firestone charged us the Road Hazard Proction for both tires costing $38. The salesman did not told me in the first place and I would not want it. Tom told me I should call first thing in the morning.
