Fixing a flat tire

Yesterday my car got a flat tire.  When I drove to a supermarket nearby to pick up my wife and our baby, I found it.  Honestly I got little nervous because this was the first flat tire in my life and on top of that, it happened not in Japan but in LA, but I pretended to be calm and drove home safely.

What I was really surprised about this event is how quickly the flat tire was fixed today.  This morning I went to a tire shop in my neighborhood which I found on the Internet yesterday.  It took five minutes from my place.  Fortunately there was no other customer when I got there so I did not need to wait at all.  Soon the technician got to his job, and he done it in ten minutes!  The price was $45 to get a new tire because he told and showed me the old tire was damaged so much.  Actually, the brand of the new tire was different from that of other three  existing ones, but I think no one cares about the brand of the car tires as long as I can drive safely.

Also, I realized there are separated type of car maintenance shops here in US, unlike Japan.  In Japan, one car repair shop typically offer almost every types of car maintenance service.  I did not have any doubt it, but now I'm feeling that separated types of repair shops, like body shops, tire shops, engine shops, in US makes more sense because this enables each shop cut cost to prepare all kind of devise necessary to each work and a qualified workmen.
