  • Went to get some new tires at Discount Tire Store today. Is this tactic a tire store scam or what? Showing the tires in stock online. But not in stock when you get to the store. @DiscountTire

    As someone who works at discount tire I can say every store sells over a hundred tires a day so it is very likely that those corsas were just sold. As far as the website goes that’s all on corporate and not the individual stores fault if the stock is incorrect on the website compared to in store. As far as the tires size goes. Neither one of those is a super common size so neither is a bad option. So absolutely the guy isn’t trying to scam you. He is a pretty bad scammer if he let you walk out the door saving you 40 bucks per tire. Glad everything got figured out

      Hi magma. how can I get discount to give me 4 new tires if I took out the extra certificate when I bought them. I has a nail in it and another has a rip. tires are 3 years old only. Guy at discount said its probably the car fault with alignment or something else. I only took 1 tire over for them to look at. Tires are Pirelli 4 season. I appreciate any advice as new tires are really expensive thx

    My biggest problem has always been getting places to honor manufacturers mileage warranty. I keep my vehicles well maintained by professionals but in every instance they always try to claim some type of negligence. Pressure too low or too high. Alignment or struts.

    Discount tire is the only place I go for tires and for swapping them on and off the wheels for free, recently got a flat on my 95 s10 and they charged me 67$ in the end, this shop literally saved me hundreds. It’s nice to finally have a place that broke 18 year olds can get reliable tires without being over charged

      Straight up. I had discount tires with a warranty on my old Subaru and no matter what they would replace them no questions asked. And I would just have to pay 40 to renew the warranty. Every other shop I've tried gives me a bunch of bs. "Oh it's a sidewall issue that's not covered under warranty" etc.

  • @buttonsangel3074
    @buttonsangel3074 2 роки тому +6

    Seems like it's always something with tire shops. And I'm not even talking about the prices. I'll settle for a shop that knows how to: line up the little yellow and red circles, or start a lug nut by hand, or not vastly over-torque the lug nuts (my biggest beef). Torque wrenches or torque sticks are never used. The last 4 shops over-torqued by 3x. I'm even past the point of caring about grease/dirt on the interior - I just assume I'll need clean it when I get it home The last shop somehow found a way to get grease onto/into the face of the spokes (clear coated alum) which will not come clean.
    In 30yrs (in my present area) I've not found one shop worth going to a 2nd time. Fortunately new shops open faster than I need new tires. I just wish every visit didn't feel like a roll of the dice.

    If they put you on hold when you call it says right there that if you book on line there is a certain percentage off. They are less expensive online, you book it online to save money. I think that’s what happened in your case with the prices.

    Your saying it was a bate and switch, but you ended up with the more expensive tires for the price of the cheaper ones!?! And it sounds like there was very little hassle…
    It’s sound like that salesman took very good care of a person just to earn their business. If slashing the price is Discount Tires idea of scamming people, then sign me up!!!
    One question… do you normally do business with companies that you think are trying to scam you? I mean you did buy the tires, right?

    • @VansWorld
      @VansWorld  2 роки тому +2

      They did me right, no doubt. But, It was just his demeanor. It was like he was going to sell me the higher ones at a higher price. But he also had the option to give me a discount because I was fixing to walk away. Like it’s a gamble. There was a possibility that I could have said, yeah sure, put them on at the higher price. But I didn’t. I was fixing to leave when he gave me the discount. I really wished I would’ve videoed the whole thing. And then you could see what I was talking about by the way he was acting.

    You got a more expensive tire at the original price that you came in for. Why would you discriminate the company and the deal you got. Walking away means nothing they just wanted to make their customer happy. I bought numerous sets of tires from discount tire and they have always done me right.

    Sounds like you're looking for the V rubber tire special and you originally were looking up the wrong size and those tires suck unless you're selling the car to somebody you don't care about on the road and there's usually a 1899 web special added on for each tire.. and if you're buying four tires there's usually another $50 price difference on the interwebs and the call centers but the in-store price might be 129 a tire before.. balancing each tire for 20 bucks and tired disposal is different within each state and there's taxes including yes there's taxes everywhere..... if you have a pick up a bunch truck I would never pay less than 150 per tire because that means your vehicle is unsafe otherwise! I am not a Ken or Karen I'm just a fellow father on the road seeing lots of accidents because of cheap discounted people buying used tires versus buying new tires that are better for their vehicle less than $100 laugh out loud
