Installation is available, reasonable and the help is competent, even if they are young.  They are open Saturdays  too.

I"ve been wondering if the newer rubber is not as good quality. Seems 
some of the new tubes will separate at the seam. Years ago we used to 
see old inner tubes with numerous patches from many years ago.  Did they 
really last longer?  Vulcanising I think they called the method of 
patching tubes in the tire repair shop. It was a superior method of 
patching tubes compared to the home handy man kit with glue and the peel 
off patches although they worked not bad considering.
