Discount tire of Texas

Their motto is "We will not be undersold".

So I submitted my lower found tire cost package this morning to them and waiting their response.
Keep in mind Discounts per tire cost, includes tire mounting, old tire disposals, balancing and rotations, flats etc.

I found the cost for less on Costco, plus they are offering .01 cents installation per tire which includes balancing, rotations..same as Discount.

Think they'll match the deal?? I would much rather deal with Discount, than Costco. My experience is, they both offer appointments, but I feel Discount has more real time service on appoinments.

Thoughts??

I did Costco last week for the first time. I was pretty impressed. They gave me and appointment was done in less than one hour.

Costco offer free road hazards, free rotations, free flat repairs.

I went with Michelins, and they are offering $70 off installation for Michelins.

Costco is good, and my experience with their tire dept has been positive. However if you can get the price matched by Discount I would do that in a heartbeat. Discount has hundreds of locations all over the place you can get flats fixed or rotations done. Costco's warranty service doesn't help too much when you go on a road trip.

I think you'd need to get an estimate from Costco for 4 tires and all the labor & disposal charges to know for sure if you're getting a better deal one way or another.

Also, I don't think DTC's $179 includes mounting them, disposal, etc. The free flats fixed is free regardless if you bought them there or elsewhere.

Brian,

Total out the door at Costco is $641.79. Discount is $701.96.

$60 dollah's is $60 dollah's. I gotta move on it today, for Costco's penny sale ends today. Although they do offer
the deal fairly often.

Does the Costco price include buying the $60 membership?

I'm sure dt has a policy written somewhere. Alot of times it excludes warehouse clubs

Do you get a free pair of yellow sunglasses thrown in?

DT are tire professionals. Costco sells big cases of toilet paper. Who do you want working on your car and tires?

The guys are very professional and nicely dressed at Costco. Costco Customer Service is top notch and they offer an excellent product on anything they sell.

Some of the Discount Tires dudes look they have been on the rock for a few days.

Yes DT will match Costco.

I have a rule, I ain't having my tires/wheels mounted where I buy my eggs.

Amazon is the Costco of Idiocracy

Well sheet. Discount never contacted me today.

I suspect to hear from them tomorrow as Costco's special ended today.

Is it really worth your time and aggravation to ATTEMPT to save a few bucks?

Limped in, to my local Discount Tire, with my truck tire almost flat.

Asked for a tire repair and the salesman said we have an opening next Thursday!

Told him I was in the parking lot now with a flat tire, he said Thursday was his first opening.

So their road hazard warranty is worthless and selling new tires is more important to them.

I kind of blew up and let them know what I thought about their customer service. It took a fit throwing to get air in my tire to go somewhere else to get the tire repaired.

F Discount Tire, never again.

Never, ever heard of that from a Disc Tire before.......

Would you date one of them?

It's all about new sales, just ask the next time you go.

If it has never happened to one person......then it clearly has NEVER happened to anyone.

Watch it, there, ban boy!

I do like their free tire rotation program.

Well, ask yourself what Grandpa would do, as he is trying to survive in a run down ole camper as you call it.

No aggravation involved and it only took 1/2 minute to submit to them the cost differences online.

Right on.

No but I would let them put tires on my vehicles.

I quit using Discount tires years ago due to they didn't have an alignment machine, always used NTB. I have a fleet account with NTB, so I usually go there and the get me in and out pretty fast.

Costco is near my house and we go weekly and their customer services can't be beat. Dropped off vehicle at 1pm, did some shopping at Costco, Got a call from one of the tire guys asked me if I wanted the white letters inside or out.

Paid for items, sit down grabbed a $1.50 hotdog and drink and about 5 minutes later car was good to go.

Discount doesn't have any stores in Frisco, NTB has a few. Costco is just down the road from me.

It was my first time to get tires installed there, I have no issue going back again, fairly easy process.

They have checkout clerks working there and they don't install tires either!

You are wrong. Every person in that store, with exception of the store manager, will change a tire at some point during the day. My son worked there this summer and my nephew is an asst mgr at a store in Austin. Also, I've been in there enough to witness it myself. EVERY ONE OF THEM, CHEBBY!

Ive always had good luck at Discount. I have heard some horror stories but the stores in Cleburne, Burleson, Denton, Longview and SW Lubbock have always been great. There is usually a bit of a wait, but the few times I have had a flat, they made it a priority to get it fixed quick. And I didn't even buy those tires them.

I bought some of the plugs they use on amazon.Got tired of waiting hours to have a tire plugged.Christmas is the best time to buy new tires as they run a visa gift card sale

They should of gotten a job at Costco Tires shop instead, they pay much better....

My tire shop can kick your tire shops arse. Lol

Disc Tire starts at $11.00/hr, I do know that....

Basket retrievers at Costco start at $12, I just put in an application

Plus a discount on TP and Eggs.....

Discount Tire experts up in hir.

Before buying tires.....Always remember to ask yourself.....WWGD?

I may apply, what about hot dogs, do you get a free hot dog?

The $1.50 Pure Beef Hotdog and drink is a loss leader for Costco.

It was introduced in the 90's and the price hasn't changed since then.

I'm opposed to non sustainable business practice like 1.50 hot dog and drink and will not participate.

Do ya have to buy 'em by the truckload, too? How long does it take to freezer burn one of 'dem dogs?

Sorry, no more arguing. I gotta go to work.

You Oklahoma Hillbilly

It is sold form the concessions stand where you can get some of the best Pizza for $8.99 for a large pizza. You probably never been inside a Costco since the sign says "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service"

Discount Tire my experience. I bought a set of tires there in November. After Christmas the low tire light came on & I went by there to have it checked out.

Guy said the tire had a nail in it & it was close to the side wall (about an inch into the threads). He said he would like to replace the tire if I was ok with that.

I said that would be great. He ordered a replacement & they installed it the next morning.

I stopped using DT years ago when I found out about Republic tire in Euless.

I ran the same exercise for my last set of tires...took Costco price to DT. After a little hem-hawing around, DT grudgingly matched Costco's price. One thing DT told me in the process was Costco typically sells "new, old stock", which is why they can sell so cheap. At first I thought it was just a line to justify their higher price but I looked at the date stamp on the Michelins that I had Costco put on Prybar's car a few months earlier and, sure enough, they were 4 year old tires! Ended up having two of those Michelins replaced under warranty due to issues. They were rated at 70K miles and he got just over 30K out of them before we junked them. As a result, we don't do tires at Costco anymore! DT is the only place I go...they will even match Tire Rack prices!

I'm done done done with discount tire.
Adult male won't get abused there, but a female will be taken advantage of in a heartbeat. Sleazeballs

Do they have ringpops at the concession stand? And how did you get in? "Sleeveless" and "sandals w/ socks" counts for the same as "No shirt" where I come from.....

I quit using discount tire after I took my truck in to get my tires rotated last time, after waiting for two hours they walked out and said they can’t rotate them and I need new tires(this was after the guy who did the initial inspection said no problem) Tires had another 6-8k left on them. Got some falken wildpeaks on sale at Walmart.com had them shipped to the door and didn’t have to pay sales tax. Lifetime balancing, rotation, installation, and disposal were about $50 (declined road hazard even though it was only another $39) Out the door for a lot less than discount and the guys at Walmart are a lot friendlier and easier to work with. I’d never buy another tire from discount.

DT is the GOAT. Pick out tires, set an appointment, go to appointment and be out in 30-45 mins.

You don't know

Hush your filthy pie hole.

Obviously one of us is on drugs if you expect me to believe that everyone that works in Costco changes tires!!!

I am picking he is saying everyone changes tires at Discount Tire

are you high on okie's shrooms?

NTB seems best to me.

No need to set an appointment, they can also do an Vehicle Inspection so you can get your tags for the year, they also do alignment on tires.

I have had them do vehicle repairs as well.
