I was talking to two people recently and they said, "Don't go to Discount Tire." Last time I checked Pep Boys and the other places still charge for flat repair. Of the major chains what has your experience been with tire places?

I've had flats repaired twice at Discount Tire for no charge. My most recent tire thing was getting new tires (badly needed) on my car before winter at CostCo, and their prices were significantly better. I got 80k tires for $100 a piece intalled. I think Discount Tire was like $550 for comparable.

Discount Tire IS the best.

Buy your tires once and then free-ass replacements for life.

Used 'em for over 15 years, never a problem.

Professional service, wide-open clean working spaces.

Fuck Drake LaRieta again!!!

I've been a Discount Tire guy for 30 years for car/light truck tires. Had a business relationship with several of the local store managers, servicing their vehicles at my previous business. Always got great prices and service. Recently, with new management and less exposure to me, I think prices have gone up, but service is still top notch.

Lately, I have been encouraged to use Tire Rack, their main store is on the West side of South Bend. I have no current need for tires, but will be adding this option to my next tire shopping effort.

Aren't all Discount Tire locations corporate owned? I guess I always just assumed that.

I've had 3 nails/flats repaired at Discount Tire over the past 18 months. I don't even think I purchased the tires there, but they are always great on the customer service to repair/plug a nail hole.

I've always been treated fairly when I got there. When the guys fix the flat for nothing, I like to kick the service guy I'm dealing with a $50 and tell him to buy some pizzas for the boys to eat for lunch.

Bought some solid cocaine in the parking lot of a Discount Tire once.

Also bought some tires from there as well. Fair price and free replacements with the warranty.

They are the same as Goodyear, just a different label.

What other products and services can one procure in the Discount Tire parking lot? Asking for a friend.

No, I'm pretty sure they are from the new automotive division of Grey Goose.

Wasting your time with these shops, pick one of these up for 6 bucks and keep it in every vehicle. I plugged 2 tires this winter and keep a kit in both vehicles.

No.

Why would you think such a thing?

He kind of showed up when you left. You are both kind of Lockport/Lansing-ish. Both a little, I don't know, perturbed.

No way they are the same person. I don't think SomeGuy could post such stupidity even if he tried.
