Default Re: Taking the monster in!

Well I just picked my car up from Feeny Chrysler in Elgin and for the most part am VERY pleased. New headlights, new foglights, 3 new rims, and paint repair on the roof of the car. I also complained about my rear wing having hard water spots on it and believe it or not they buffed the ENTIRE car! I also had them replace the nuts holding the wipers and put new caps over the nuts as mine had fallen off.

As you may have read from a previous post above they found a crack in one of my front tires on the sidewall when replacing a rim. I inspected the tire and it does appear to be a defect rather than something they may have done on the tire machine. I am actually in the process of sending pictures and emails to Michelin to see what they can do for me.

After being quoted 308 for one front new tire (michelin pilot sport) I opted to go a cheaper route and got me a set of Federal SS595 front tires. They were 84.00 dollars each from tire rack and look VERY NICE!

Here is a link...

They have a ZR speed rating which means they are rated for over 186mph. That beats the Michelin Pilot sports for speed rating!

Anyways they mounted and balanced them for free and I got both for 178.00 which is FAR less than the 308 for one michelin. I drove home on the them and they felt pretty solid. I also read some reviews online and they were highly rec'd.

If anyone in the area wants a great dealer to go to hit up Feeny Chrysler and ask for Brian. He is a car and bike enthusiast and was very easy to work with. His boss was a jagoff but he did me well.
