[QUOTE="becker_atc, post: 1923100, member: 12903"] WALMART wont [U][I] patch[/I][/U] one if it is to close to the side wall. 2" is not to close. I prefer to have the patch halfway centered over the puncher We had 1" and 2" patches. If it is in the transition area from road surface to sidewall it will eventually work loose from the amount of flex there. Seen it happen. when they are close like that they need be plugged really. Not my favorite method but it works. Also according to walmart policies they will not use a plug. they will use the plug patch combo though (those are pretty slick). Other thing they wont do are touch an oil change with a damaged pan or plug or one with no oil on the dipstick or one making engine noise. They wont balance a tire after (I think maybe a bit more) 5 oz of weight. Truck tires on 3/4 and 1 ton trucks (esp dual rear wheel) sometime need that much and more. They wont change tire size on the vehicle, it's either OEM size or the current size thats on it. They make you sign a waiver if you want just the front two tires replaced. If a lug nut is missing or lug stud is broke wont do the work. They carry lug nuts and if one is able to be installed they will continue with it Think i hit the high points on the jacked up rules. All of these are in place to cover their but so it does not become RebelRacer79's Big Azz Tyre Shoppe lol On the bright side if you take the car in for tire work it takes two people to sign off on the computer one does the work one does a quality control check to make sure the lugs are tight to OEM specs with a torque wrench [/QUOTE]
