David,


I agree it's difficult to find a shop where the people know
what they are doing and care about service. Luckily there are
still a few around that we can support.


Two tireshops that I happen to like in Edmonton:


-----
Tirecraft Auto Center
13020 97 Street NW, Edmonton, AB T5E 4C6
(780) 475-9237


Ask for Donna. I got 4 Korean (to me unknown brand) Roadstone
195R14 from her 4 years ago for my '82 Westy. Quiet and has
low rolling resistance so works well for my mostly summer, fall
and spring use of the Westy.
-----


A1 Tire & Battery Service Southside Ltd
7640 99 Street NW, Edmonton, AB T6E 3S4
(780) 432-0251


They've always been straight and friendly to me. Can get
Agilis tires at reasonable prices. (Though obvioulsy not
quite as low as costco)


Now what I'm really missing in Edmonton is a good hardware store.
I hate to go to the big box Rona, Homedepot etc to spend an
hour searching for (often in vain) misc basic hardware.
