Subject: Tire Warranty Entitlement
Safety Inspection Procedures Free Upon Customer Request

Dear Mr. Welch,

As requested, this follow-up letter is to share actions which were taken post our phone conversation.

  1. I contacted the local General Tire dealer. They have no known concerns with those tires and didn't feel it was necessary to inspect it with approx 50,000 files of wear. In our conversation you didn't want the tire returned so we have discarded it.

  2. I've spoken to Mr. Smith, Service manager and hope the following procedure will assist you. Our normal, Seasonal Vehicle Inspection is currently free upon request by our customers. The inspection will be noted on the Repair Order for the customer's review.

Thank you for your call and hope 1997 brings hapiness to you and you family.

Sincerely,



Charles R. Mori
