[Random flat tire photo from the Internet]
From the EVG reader mailbag:
What happened to all the auto tire repair/flats fixed places? Are there any left? I need a tire repaired.
Let's see. Downtown Auto & Tire left the Bowery two years ago. The BP station on Second Avenue is gone now.
Um. I thought there was one on East Houston between Clinton and Attorney. Nope! The Mobil station on East Houston and Avenue C? Nope! No tire service.
So anyone know where you get a flat tire fixed around here? Seemed as if there were several around here not that long ago...
