Which brings to mind the sad passing of Les Schwab last week, at age 89. He started a string of tire stores from his original location in Prineville, Oregon, in the '50's, and the chain is now 40, or 60, or some such number or stores, in the northwest states. He never forgot his agricultural roots, and they are one of the few left who sell (and service) ag tires. The help comes running out to your car when you pull in, and they all move at about 1.5 normal speed, so you're in and out in a hurry. They put passenger car tires on with an impact wrench set real low, then finish tightening with a torque wrench, so daughter can actually get the lug nuts off if she has a flat. Free flat repair and rotations (of their own tires), good coffee and popcorn in the waiting room, etc. Just a good, customer-service oriented business, that deserves the success it has achieved.
