Work done in Lethbridge

-rear wheel falls off going 120 km/h on hwy 3 at @11pm around christmas time (lugs sheared off & nuts still on other half) Good spark show though.
-spent christmas vacation fixing truck and finding identical replacement wheel
The wheel bounced over both oncoming lanes of traffic, to land in a farmers field nearly 1km away. It ran into irrigation pipe and had bent the middle in about 2m. It would have hit a farm house if it wasn't for the pipe.
Store didn't comment on it, nothing happened with it. Not worth the time or cash to further pursue it.

Thats ood because I have had nothing but great, not good, but great service form Kal-Tire in Lethbridge.
They often do work for free when it isn't much, never once tried to upsell and often told me that there were cheaper options or stuff that didn't even need to be done.
I have constantly had tires repaired there and drive back and forth from Lethbridge and Calgary a lot without any trouble at all.
From my experiences I would highly recommend them.
I guess it appears that it can be hit or miss based on location/employee.
