I have to agree on this one. I mean I'll go to  Costco with my daily driver
which is a VW Fox. But I wouldn't trust them with my  bus. Too much possible
damage.


The worse thing that happened to my Fox when I got tires a few year back at
the Burbank, CA Costco was the new valve stems were too short and didn't reach
 outside the hubcaps. A nuisance, a PIA, yes! And really a pretty glaring
error  when you consider ALL they do is mount tires and valve stems. (OK they
balance them as well.)


So I guess...well....in this case they presented themselves as morons.
