I have a minor complaint about NTW.  My mother went there to buy four new 
tires and wasn't given an option on the road hazzard warranty - they just
included it.  This isn't that big of a deal, and it might help her in the
future, but I didn't like how it wasn't offered.

Now for tune-ups one recommendation.  If you know anything about cars, go 
to Andy Grannatelli's (sp?) tune up masters.  I've had fantastic luck with
them, however, I stand in the bay and watch.  It's never happened, but if
I saw them fooling with something they weren't supposed to, I'd know and
ask them what they're doing.  I sent someone else to the exact same shop
who didn't know anything about cars and they ripped him off.  I know it's
not much of a recommendation, but the place has been great for me.
