First, I always deliver removed wheel/tires to shops. The best locally is the America TIre shop, but always overbooked. So I tried Sears with a flat. Immediate attention and good work. This has worked well over several years, however.... except for the tire mounters the store is run by yokels.

Short example. Ordered a set of Falkens for my Nissan ..at first "not available," then "found some in CA." then Sorry, could not fill order....then I ordered them online and received them. The same day Sears called and said "your tires are here." Six months later I took in a flat and saw the tires ( odd size) sitting on the floor. They want gram and gramp's SUV business, not ours. Still ,sometimes with flats or balancing... I use them.

Will TPMS sensor from tirerack.com work for C63? Anyone know? Thank you.

The other day I brought my C63 to Jiffy Lube for an oil change and some 18 year old kid in the pit forgot to put the drain plug back in. They started it up and everything seems fine. By the time I was down the road I left an oil slick and the engine started making all sorts of ticking noises. By the time I drove it back it was knocking pretty bad. I revved it a few time to reline just to make sure the oil maybe didn't circulate fully yet or something.








Of course I am kidding... WTF you bringing your car to Sears bro?? Cut your loses ask for your money back and dont let them touch your car again.

Yes, Bought tire rims years ago from TR before they stiffed me. No problem car did not even notice. Also America tire set is seamless.

Yes they will work. You will have to call them to order since it's not in the website.

Not sure where the OP is located in Maryland, but i'm near Dulles Airport and take my cars (as well as other AMG owners) to Benz Elite off of Eisenhower Ave right after the Wilson Bridge which is a hike for me. But they have done good work on my cars and others that i have referred to for their mods.

Discount Tire is the way to go. Ask to talk to the tech before they start. They will use hand tools to remove and retorque wheels and will also use floor jacks if your car is lowered. They are mostly young guys but they do dig cars. Discount Tire will also match Tire Rack price if you ask them about it. If you get the road hazard plan they will replace a flat tire rather than patch it. Costco is competitive, the techs are ****, and they do use nitrogen. Unfortunately they have a much more limited selection.

One place I wouldn't my car for a tire change is Sears. Take it to a legit tire shop.

Or you can go to sears, give $20 to the guy and watch him while he does everything, that works too

+ You might end up getting a free set of PSS every 27days

I got my tires done at Discount Tire. I drove my car on the jack and watched them in 100f for 30 mins no shade. Outside the garage, cuz didnt want to get in their way. Almost got heatstroke but it was worth it. I love my Red Queen.

Glad it worked out, And I agree RE: pep boys, the worst , even the web site bites.

LIke I said take loose wheels in to good tire monkeys, where ever you find them. I would never let a shop jack up my car. Otherwise prepare to wait and wait and wait....

Yeah....not smart, but hey....Luckily I've got two great tire shops around me..I recommend American Tire Co....always been good to me, let me drive my car into the shop and onto the lift, and if they mess up, have no problem about paying to fix it (they paid hundreds to get my wheels repainted after the tech scratched them)...I've been there a ton of times and they've been awesome
