It was. It is quite convenient having Patterson Road between your place and mine.
Racing... because golf only requires one ball.

I have to replace my two front tires here after the 10/8 autocross before I head up to Tail of the Dragon. Will make sure to use Carl's services for this. :D

I just had my wheels swapped for better not bent wheels... well most of them. Incredible service as always. He helped me get my wheels sorted so only the best of what I have is on the car. Now the car feels normal again, no more horrifying wheel shake. Even with one of the wheels being a bit off he got it balanced so I can't even feel it. Thanks again Carl!

Carl did my tires. He did a PERFECT job and went out of his way to finish them really fast and early! His attention to detail is outstanding. Highly recommended. He even showed me how all the equipment worked as he did it. Pretty cool!

What is this Facebook you speak of? Do people get in your face? And slap you with a book? Yikes. Doubt I'll ever go there as I hate guy who stole the idea from the twins and his friend who loaned him the money to do it. Zukerberger is an asshole.

I'll have to get a Myspace then.

Hint: The wheels were made by a guy who has a great business in California!

LIke that car needs 9" rims. :lol: Nice. Like the color as I'm sick of seeing black wheels even from factory now. Will be the car to beat in S2. I'm kind of surprised they went back to 4 bolt wheels? But then the car weighs next to nothing.

Thanks for posting :thumbwink:

Hey guys/gals. In the unlikely event you haven't seen the excellent feedback on Carl's Tire Massage Service? Pay the man his bargain prices and get a silk purse tire massage with a happy ending not available in any store.

I had my new tires drop shipped to Carl directly since they won't fit in my Vette. He is totally communicative quickly via text. Carl has much better equipment than most all the shops I've had to go to in the past. He certainly has +90% more concern about your wheels and tires than the storefront shops can due to the whipped back syndrome. He also disposed of my old tires in a humane way. One stop shopping. A big deal for me as it's a 2.5hr round trip to Oldsmar. Worth every minute of travel. Did I say BARGAIN? His wheel balancing machine and personal touch are also amazing at highway speeds no shaky.

I was able to arrange a mutual time so I could swing by Joe Brannon's for a "real" measured alignment for these pristine tires afterwards. Only 12-15 minutes away from Carl's.

You people in the area might not know how lucky you are being so close to a great tire/alignment duo of Carl McKim and Joe Brannon? :thumbwink: :thumbwink:

Great news! Looks like I might be able to order some tires at a little discount. Please let me know what you're looking for, and I can assist... It appears that the RE071 is one of them!!! Call or text me for a quote!

Carl hooked up the FAST trailer with new tires and wheel bearings this week. He's the man! :thumbwink:
