Dropped our little canine Silly Billy off at the vet for some dental work, picked up the van at L&L Automotive, then came home for a while, before deciding to run down to Walmart for a couple of tires. When they worked on the van, they put the best tires on front, but unfortunately, that meant the drive wheels wouldn’t have much traction, and considering the kind of places we sometimes drive, we need all the traction we can get! After doing a little research, we realized the oldest tires were from Feber 2006, so it was time to change them out anyway, even though they had a little tread left on them. We traded them for a couple of Goodyear Wranger Authorities (a Walmart exclusive) so they would match what we already had, and would now have good traction all around. Also had the oil changed while we were at it, then we headed back and picked up Billy at the vet at 4:00. I have to say, the van drives like new! It’s pulled to the right for so long because of a bad alignment when we got the last tires, we didn’t think it would ever be right, but these guys as L&L fixed it perfectly! Rolls along so well, I’m sure we’ll get better gas mileage, too. The vet cleaned Billy’s teeth nice and white, but also had to remove some of the smaller ones because they were loose or the root was exposed, and they did a nice trim on his toes as well. Still a bit woozy from the anesthetic, but we got him home and he slept the rest of the night. An expensive but necessary day.
