I live just down the street and had a flat tire I needed repaired. It was raining and I couldn't drive the car with the tire so low. Went in and asked if I could use the portable air inflator to put a little air in the tire so I could drive it in to have him fix it. The owner, who barley looked up when I came in, said its $50.00 to "rent" the air inflator and another $30.00 to fix the flat. He told me its that or call a tow truck. I then called Ludlow garage who told me their flat fix guys were out today but I was welcome to come in and borrow the portable air machine at no cost. I grabbed the inflator and then went to 103 Allen St. to a tire repair shop who fixed the flat for $15.00.
Do not goto Area Garage, this guy is not a good neighbor and is out to rip you off, I would never trust a person who does business in that way.
