I got 4 new tires put on at the shop in Sosua that's just east of the Texaco (on same side of the road).
I picked out the tires I wanted, went for a sandwich, and when I got back they were finished.
Other than breaking off two lug nuts & only 3 tires matching (uhm, why didn't you mention that when we were choosing the tires?) they did a fine job.
I'll take the blame. I should know better than to leave the car with anyone to be worked on. Lesson re-learned. At least the same battery was still in it...
