Capture

Tire (sample#1)

Ps-s-s-t….Do you have what it takes?

No, not up there…down here!

Hey, you look familiar…do I know you? No?

Well that’s the most important question you’ll need to answer with us.

And that’s proving your identity! So bringing the right documents

with you is super important.

In fact, that’s why they created me in the first place. To remind

YOU to have the right paperwork in hand before walking in that

door.

 

Tire (sample#2)

Alright…now that you know what documents you need, I gotta

split. Well not literally…look at me; I have less than 3,000 miles

of tread ware… I mean I gotta go… But before I do here’s one

last don’t forget.

Don’t forget that a lot of  this info can be completed online,

using your smartphone, tablet, or computer.

You can even schedule your next appointment…how great is

that?!
