Goodyear’s biggest enemy is itself

Reading Time: < 1 minute

On an old blog of mine, I expressed frustration about Goodyear competing against itself.  In that case, it was radio ads that essentially said “every Goodyear sucks except for ours“.

To be honest, we’ve been pleased with Goodyear.  There are two locations near us, both of which do pretty good work.  The problem is that they compete against each other too much.  The image to the right shows two postcards, one from each location, that we received today.

In the past, the pricing has been even more varied.  You would think for something like this they’d at least have their prices be the same, but I guess not.  This just seems silly to me.
