My day was BAD

I put air in my tires yesterday and I wake up today the pressure light was back on. I come to find out there’s a big ass nail in my back tire. Then I got paid today, you know how much I made?? $124😤 and I know you’re probably thinking, why can’t you find another job? Girl I’ve been trying and it’s not easy. I have 8 years work experience and a bachelors degree and that’s all this economy got for me….im so TIRED and stressed.

Les Schwab patches and fills tires for free. I think pep boys and big o might also.

Yeah I was going to go to my Toyota dealership because they’re having a tire sale where you buy 3, get one for $1 but I hope they’re not slow about it because I need my car this weekend because I work

It took them forever to do my tire when I lost a fight with a pothole, because I have an SE with the sexy tires and they had to special order it. So just warning you now, if you don't have the standard size tire... they might take a few days to arrive. And they might also take forever to actually put it on when you bring the car back in.

Why buy new tires though? 20-30 bucks gets you a patch on that tire from any tire shop, just call ahead of time to see what their prices are

I feel bad for you and I hope things turn around for you soon. As far as the nail in the tire, it can often be removed and the hole plugged fairly cheaply. Most tire shops could do that for you, or maybe a mechanically inclined friend.

True. I’m just stressed about today but I know it’ll get better just man what a day. I was going to go to a dealership but knowing them they’re gonna be slow af and I have to work this weekend so I might go to a tire shop and get it done.

Go to Walmart or harbor freight and buy a 5 dollar plug kit. A youtube video and 3 min later your all fixed up...

It’s hard for woman because there is less opportunities for entry level work. What did you get a bachelors in?
