Where in the cypress area are you? I am in Tomball and i have the greatest mechanic, its an independent Firestone in the old kroger parking lot @ 249 and 2920, on the left hand side (from 249, going north). The Firestone faces 2920. The gentleman that owns the garage will work with you, take payments, post-dated checks, etc., and is VERY reasonable.
Firestone Complete Auto Care

I think this is the number. You could call and ask if this is the one in the old kroger parking lot, and if it is, its the right one.
Hope this helps.
