CGY: tire shop

Can anyone point me to a good tire shop in Calgary?

I have a very slow leak in one of my Potenzas...it loses 1-2 psi each week and I would like to get it fixed ASAP at a good shop.

If you're just fixing a leak and want good service, I'd recommend KalTire. I've brought a flat once to Fountain Tire and they didn't even fix it properly causing tire to fall off the wheel.

Haha, which KalTire did you go to? I went to the Marlborough one once to get my winters rotated on, and they put them on incorrectly =[

Haha true...I'll give them a shout in a bit, if Sunridge Mazda can't fix it for me, got an oil change appointment tomorrow with them, so might as well see if they can fix it first.

Try EconoTire (also in the NE hood) --> building is near the police station and kinda ghetto looking but Manuel does good work. He's worked on my dad's tires for 15 years now and mine for 5 years. The other places that are good is TireCraft or Fountain Tire.

I would try to avoid KalTire ... it's hit or miss. There is a lot of turnover in the place... so if you're lucky you might get the experienced guy but then again you might get the nO0b.
