Integrity...and getting the word out!

Hi All,
First, let me say...spectacular weekend. Period. Today? Same weather. Awesome.
Second, we had a great time at J&J's bridal shower-such a wonderful family, a fabulous couple and I can't wait for the wedding. Thanks to DF for driving and JL for coming too-I love you ladies, you are so fun to hang with!
Lastly, I spent this morning finding out that SOME businesses have no integrity. Sad. I knew this but usually I can navigate around it. Here's the story:
I must have run over a nail yesterday, on the way to the Center. When I came out of class, my tire was almost flat. I drove across the street to put air in it and try and find a place to get the nail out (I could see the nail). Sunday-no one open. The tire seemed to be holding air and K brought over their compressor so I could put air in it on Monday to get to the tire place safely.
So, got up this morning and decided to go to Sullivan Tire in Bedford. Why? Because we always go there to have our tires installed/serviced and they've always BEEN good to us. (Plus, it's right near WF, where I needed to go after.) I was there by 8:20am and they brought the car right in...
The guy comes out and tells me they cannot fix it and I will need to get 4 new tires. (Sidebar: I will need tires...in the Fall. My tires are fine and I knew that but, you wonder you know?) He wants to slap cheap tires on it today-I say NO WAY...Michelins or nothing and I have no time to wait today. He makes lots of noise about my certain future need for AAA if I leave with the nail in the tire...blah blah blah. I call Mr. P&P, he says get an estimate for the Michelins and make an appt. for later in the week. Done. SUV tires aren't cheap but, again, we have planned for this...in the Fall so the $$ are saved for it. I leave and Mr. P&P tells me to go by the local guy and see if he can patch the tire (aka 'a second opinion'). I go to WF, head up to Chelmsford and, sure enough, local awesome guy patches my tire...safely...for $17. He tells me "You don't need tires now, you have tons of wear left on these and you obviously keep them inflated properly and rotated." Why yes, I do BTW. (This JAP check her tires ALL the time and fills them when necessary...)
Morale of the story? Unfortunately SOME businesspeople have zero integrity. The guy thought he'd strong arm the 'girl' into spending 4 figures on new tires TODAY. Uh, no. Mr. P&P called and canceled our appointment and let them know that, come the Fall, we'll be taking our big ticket purchase elsewhere.
So, I'm here to RECOMMEND Rudy's Mobil in Chelmsford Center-they are honest, fast and treat women with respect. It may not be the cleaniest place you'll ever go, but you will save yourself, oh, $1000 there!
See you all in class.
