I purchased a used car (Honda CR-V) from a local dealer that had almost 200K miles, but was in excellent shape. The spare matched the four other tires, but had never been used. So, I decided to take it in to Big Brand in Ventura (where I take all my business) for a rotation, and asked if they would also check the suspension and brakes to see if anything was worn. I signed the estimate for $30, for 1) a tire rotation, 2) an inspection, and 3) a road test. They found nothing wrong and wouldn't charge me anything. Customer service is unrivaled at this shop.
