What's this?

I wouldn’t wait that long for gas but for tires just go shopping in the

Store while they are changing or rotating your tires, which they do for free if you bought the tires from Costco. What I’ve got my eye on with them is the last 2 times I’ve been they have hit me up for an extra $48 for rotating my tires. Both times they claimed that one of the tire valve stems had a leak so I had to repleace it. Mine are more expensive because the have a chip in them that tells my car the tire pressure on the dash. I can understand it a little bit. What made me mad was last time they called me while I was in the store to see if I wanted to pay for the more expensive stem and quoted a price of $30 but when I went to pay for it, I was charged $48.
Fortunately, 90% of the time I don’t have to wait for a single car to get gas. I have never had to wait more than 2 cars but I never shop at peak times.
