bad night saved by B2AutoDesigns!

I was studying at the library all day yesterday and got in my car at around 11 pm and started driving. I noticed the car was seriously turning right. I got out at a parking lot at USF and saw the tire pressure was so slow it was sliding into the rear well and looked as if it was falling off the rim. My friend and I jacked up the car to relieve the pressure on the rim and was getting to work on removing the wheel when I saw that I couldn't. The stock hex to install the spare doesn't fit on my aftermarket rims to get to the bolts. I called Adrian at B2Autodesigns (i felt bad for calling so late) because they installed my springs and my camber for a very low price and he answered and told me I needed a thin wall socket 19 hex to get in there which I didn't have and neither did triple A. Adrian didn't have one on him so he ended up driving out to the shop with Charles to pick up the socket and drove over to USF to help me out at 1 am and installed the spare. It was definitely the worst night with ridiculous wind and low temperature and not to mention sprinklers going off right where I parked the car. They took me wheel last night and took it the shop this morning to fill it up. Nothing was wrong with it (just low pressure or someone messed with it) and put it back on the car for me at no charge. Just wanted to say thanks to 2 great guys going out of their way to help me out. My only other solution would have been to drive to walmart in my friend's car to see if the socket was there, but adrian said they might not have it so they came instead.

cliffs:

1. ridiculous weather... tire pressure too low... can't drive.... stuck on campus at midnight
2. don't have socket hex to take rim off and put on spare
3. Adrian and Charles from B2autodesigns take time out to help me.
4. Put wheel back on car this morning and make sure it works

Great bunch of guys!

Their shop is located on nebraska in between fletcher and bears. Check them out as they are really good with installs and very quick.

True.

Charles and Adrian are both great. I've had great experiences with them both. They had just recently done my springs, camber kit, and bought my new wheels through them.

They have their ish together .

Sounds like a nice shop to do business with. If only I could muster up the cash-money, and/or money-cash to work with.

I bought my rim's from R/X, and had Charles work on installing the spring's at the same time.. very fast install!
I just recently got my 19mm thin socket / 3" extension / expandable wench set for 20 buck's online.. they even through in a 21mm socket for lock nut key's. I hope it will save me one day from situation like this!
