Q: I figured I had a nail in my tire as I had a slow puncture, so I took it in to get it patched up as I could see for myself it could be saved. I went in and honestly heard them talking to a young looking woman about something that actually was a lie, but it wasn't my business as I guess it's their job to up-sell when they can. After a dealing with a really nice man (sorry I can't remember your name) who took care of me quickly, a younger guy came out and told me he wouldn't put the tire back on because the tread was warn dangerously low. I grew up fixing cars with my family so I was fully aware of this, which I think took him by surprise. After spending about 30 minutes explaining they were liable if I were in an accident with that tire on, he tried to sell not only 1 tire, but 2 and then conveniently I needed 4. I'd like to point out the price for this changed TWICE. Anyway, not a fan of being pressured I asked him to put the spare on, which seemed to greatly annoy him. I was prepared to go back for my new tires the next week, HOWEVER...when I got home and opened my trunk, I discovered they had broken the board that covers my spare. Not only was an entire corner broken off, but the board was snapped down the middle. This is just a ridiculous way to treat a customer! Just because I didn't spend the money and I had some items in my truck, the least they could do is ask me to move a few things if that was what made it difficult to put back. Because of this I ended up going to another place to get 4 brand new tires. Ok, so I spent about $200 more in total, but I got better tires for the quote, excellent customer service and on top of that, when I got home this time, I saw the second place I went to had actually attempted to fix the board without me even saying a thing about it! Customer service will get you a long and I think giving Discount Tire my new married name and new address, they didn't realize I was a regular there, so if this is how they treat new customers, I would beware. I won't be returning. OPTIONS:

Q: besides the fact that this hotel was like 30 minutes from the strip, the staff was rude and mean. they kicked us out at 5 AM over "some girl passed out in the casino" who was NOT part of our party. They came into our rotom and woke up my friends, who were clearly quietly knocked out and forced them to eleave. one word: RUDE! OPTIONS:

Q: I wouldn't exactly call this the best gyro I've every had, nor would it be a close second - or third. The gyro was made with pre cooked pieces of (beef/lamb) gyro and not sliced off a cone. I'm not sure where this new trend is coming from, but I've had a few gyros from othe Med. places around the valley, and all were made with the same or similar pre packaged gyro pieces. In case any gyro / greek / mediterranean restaurateur cares, the pre packaged gyro meat is NOT GOOD. I'm just not sure what else there is to be said. If you can't do a decent gyro, I'm just not coming back. Sorry. :/ OPTIONS:

Q: I recently wrote a review of a sushi restaurant much closer to home, wherein I lamented over not being able to find good tasting and good priced sushi in the West Valley, also commenting that hubby and I would prefer not to deal with the noise, crowds, or 40 min. drive time each way to get to our fave Scottsdale sushi restaurants. Well, I'm here to tell you I've CHANGED my mind! No, not about the "sushi crisis" in the West Valley. We have no reason to go anywhere else but Sapporo! Yesterday was our wedding anniversary, and we have always enjoyed the sushi at Sapporo, so we decided to make the drive there. SO GLAD WE DID! Noise? Okay, the music was loud, but it was GREAT music. Nothing like eating great food while tapping your foot or nodding your head to the beat. It wasn't so loud that we couldn't have a nice conversation with each other. Crowd? The restaurant was full but we were seated immediately. It was about 5:15 p.m. The layout of seating has been changed since we were there last, and it was better, no feeling of claustrophobia or being trapped by people. We also found the crowd to be diverse, with an average age of 45+, no overly loud or overly "plastic" people. On top of it, it only took 30 mins. to get there. Our good looking waiter was prompt and attentive - 3 great qualities in waitstaff. Our food came out immediately, as each was prepared. Sapporo's Happy Hour Menu cannot be beat! And the sushi is WONDERFUL. We ordered 2 spicy tuna rolls (now THAT'S spicy tuna, thank you very much) which were only $5 each, 2 tootsie rolls (my FAVE) another $5 each, and a satay trio appetizer consisting of 6 large skewers, 2 each of chicken, beef, and deep fried shrimp roll. It came with 2 different dipping sauces and an apple slaw with feta and walnuts - $8. Sushi was EXCELLENT - so fresh, perfect size, mostly filling and a little rice (not the other way around like a lot of "happy hour" sushi can be). Appetizer was good, although just a teensy bit dry (remember, I'm a foodie, so I'm extremely particular). That's the only reason I didn't give a rating of 5 stars. Wanna "get your real sushi on"? Get to Sapporo, ASAP! We'll be back, SOON!!! OPTIONS:
