Default rear end shop in lubbock?

last week i got a flat tire (really flat tire needed to be re mounted) and after i got the tire plugged and re inflated and balanced by firestone the car virbates when i decelerate and makes a noise like i had a loose caliper in the rear (wobble noise i guess you could say) starting at 50mph +. the noise and vibration go away when i give the car throttle but still makes the noise and vibration even if im out of gear decelerating. there is no noise from the rear when turning or anything else so im hoping this isnt serious. my rear end is completely stock except for a adjustable panhard bar

does any one know of a reputable shop in lubbock to take my car to? i need to be able to drive it back to dallas and a 6 hour drive wouldnt be good with this problem

thanks

I'm like an hour and a half from Lubbock but I would take it back to Firestone and make them fix it. I know a member that lives in Lubbock on the forum is "thelt1thatcould", you can PM him and ask him.

No we still do installs, its just that there is a long waiting list. Right now I can't take anything new in, until January.

I wouldn't mind checking it out some weekend though, I don't keep any tools around the house, but I can probably at least tell you what it is and where to take it if its something major.
