So it appears my car can't get a break in Calgary...

1) Hit and run someone damages my front bumper...
2) Random drunk kicked (dented) and keyed my car (got witnesses and other info, need to make a report)
3) one of my tires is leaking air now -_-;;

So anyone got a good place to buy tires or get them repaired? I can't be filling it up every day...

if its just leaking air, get them patched up at any local tire shop ( I go to tirecraft). its like a quick $40 job. You probably dont need brand new tires.

I feel your pain though, i ran over a nail with less than 500km on the car, thought I had to buy new tires. someone also hit and run'd me in a parking lot, putting a nice long crack across my front bumper. Also managed to get a door ding(s) in every single panels.. sign... no love in Calgary

Yeah it sucks to be unlucky =[
1) I got rearended in a few months of ownership. bye bye rear bumper...
2) slid on ice straight into a subaru wagon in 1 yr of ownership and cracked my front bumper...
3) Some moron's Toyota hubcap cover was in the middle of the road. The stupid Accord in front of me didnt see it, ran over it, causing it to spin up onto my hood, then my windshield, then my roof. Almost causing me to crash...Scratched up my hood, dinged my roof =[ but at least I didn't die I guess...
4) amazingly ONE door ding only at 2.5 yr mark

I got my tire leak fixed at the dealer last summer. Price was quite reasonable, but I don't remember exactly how much, haha...
