not familar with springfield, but i used a goodyhear store on the south side of town, right off the james river freeway...  i think the cross streets were republic and national.  used them last year in a bind.. seemed to be a good bunch of guys and were helpful..

GOOD LUCK!

glad all is back to normal okiebluegrass. ;D

my wife & i always discuss what we would do if we broke down, could ya imagine calling a family member or friend & ask to be picked up 4-5 hours away from home??!! >:( i guess thats why we all save as much $$$$ as we can. ;)

As a matter of fact, we were kinda wondering what we were gonna do. I have family in Joplin, but still that would not be fun. This car is going intothe shop to get a good bill of health before we head down in August.
