    I loved working for this company I even had the pleasure to meet Mr. Halle a couple of times, but during my time with the company there were some ppl in the AVP's offices That acted like they stood for what Bruce Halle stood for. And I don't want to get two in to details on What happened but let's just say Those people are the reason why I decided to leave the company. RIP Mr Halle because you sir were a great man!

    Mr Halle Discount Tire is the greatest. I have sent numerous people there who were going to go somewhere else to buy tires and they always come back and thank me for sending them there. I just watched a video of a young lady who was in desperate need of four tires because the tires she had were a safety hazard. Discount tire fixed her up with four new tires that she could afford and now she is safe. You guys really are the best. I will always buy my tires at discount tire.

    I heard an awesome story about Mr halle and it went like this. There was a guy who went into his office for a week straight and begged for money (thousands) . He gave it to him. The guy never went to his office again. And this happened on multiple occasions. Finally someone asked him. WHY DO YOU KEEP GIVING AWAY MONEY. He had one simple but meaningful answer. “ Im not the one that has to live with that for the rest of my life”. Amazing man

    My first experience with Discount Tire was years ago when I stopped by for a flat repair and they didn't charge me and I have been purchasing tires from them ever since. From Texas to Virginia, I have had nothing but great experiences...today was not exception. Chris Forgy never gave me the chance to get stressed over my tire situation. He quickly offered a solution and I am now driving my Subie OB with a great set of Michelin Defender T+H and I continue to be a very satisfied customer...Thanks again Discount Tire!

    Discount Tire was the only place I have used for my truck. On three separate occasions, they have broken something. The first & second time was cross-threaded lug nuts, the third time was the lug itself.
    Now they are telling me that my truck had spacers, but I have factory wheels. I never installed spacers, nor did they ever mention spacers in my previous visits. They provided me with a piece of paper the first time to get the cross-threaded stud repaired, but I lost that one. The second time, they never provided one. Now this last time, they are refusing to pay for the damage they created.
    I keep seeing new faces here, so I presume turnover is high and they employ unskilled labor. Mr. Halle would be ashamed!

    I made an appointment located at 200 Brown Rd, Auburn Hills, Michigan, (which is important to do), to replace all 4 of my tires. My overall online research ahead of time gave me an idea of tire pricing, quality of tires, tread design, installation fees and store tire maintenance offerings and price. During my 15 minutes on the phone with Isaac, he shared his impressive knowledge in helping me decide on a quality tire. He was very friendly. The conversation involved questioning me on how I drive my vehicle. I shared what I wanted most which was all season corner handling and traction control in the winter. But I cannot write this review without mentioning COLIN who works in the tire changing area. When I first arrived, I pulled up to an area outside the garage which had a sign regarding getting a tire check or something like that (I can’t remember exactly). Colin came right out and went above-and-beyond with value-added service. He reviewed all 4 of my existing tires, gave me detailed information about the wear on the tires. He also provided suggestions regarding quality mid-range tires available at Discount Tire. When they brought my car into their garage for the tire change, I went out there to review the whole process. Colin helped me through that as well. ALL HAIL COLIN!! All the people working on my car provided information during the tire change, so I am happy I was readily available right by my vehicle. Everyone was so helpful! I would refer anyone to them, but make an appointment first. If you have a tire brand/model in mind, make sure they have those tires in stock. If they don’t have a particular tire in stock, they may suggest another similar tire in stock. I know they can order your desired tire.

    I am sure Mr Halle would be completely disappointed in the #failure of Discount Tire to care of their customers. After over three months they have failed to send out promised rebate. How many more people have they #rippedoff by hoping they will forget about their rebate? It is a shame and maybe be illegal !

    • @bridgerlehane5408

      rebates come from the manufacturer, NEVER from discount tire. If it was a mail in rebate, you either messed something up, or the manufacturer did. but dont blame discount tire co.

    Discount tire I've done business there for 10 years I've not only had my two cars done I've had three of my company trucks done there,
    and I will never go back and do business with them again my son took his car in there yesterday 'cause he got a flat tire his car had been
    sitting in the driveway when he got the flat tire. I had looked at the tire before he went to discount tire with it there was no wrinkles in the
    sidewall the car hadn't been driven on the tire there are some rub marks from him bouncing off curbs when he parked, by the way the tires
    on his car had less than 5000 miles on them. He went to discount tire they told him tired was damaged and we've had a wrinkle sidewall so the
    tire had to be replaced not only did they have to replace that tire they had to replace the other tire on the opposite side so instead of just,
    repairing the flat and putting the tire back on the car they charge him for two brand new tires. I know in this pandemic things are tight but
    taking advantage of somebody that is inexperience in this way shows that they have no qualms and no business ethics at all. I strongly recommend
    that you never go to discount tire on north avenue Bloomingdale road's in Glendale heights'cause they obviously do not care about their customers
    all they care about is the money.

    The coercive quid pro quo you pressured You Tuber Schooliana with in order to get repaid for repairs of $1,500 due to clear negligence by your company doesn’t fare well with any customer or transparent business practices - they refused the money because of what you required & are consulting with an attorney,
    Trying to cover up negligence on your part is unconscionable!

For my pathfinder today i was quoted 780 for a set of falken tires alone. I know they are larger tires but.... ???

    Great guy, but I hate to say it, Tires Discount Direct is one of the worst customer service centers you could possibly deal with. I have been waiting for someone to answer now for over an hour. I went to the site and nothing to communicate there to either. Do not order through this or you will be sorry if you ever need customer service. Still waiting for someone to help me. I am cancelling my order. I would pay extra for customer service, but this is ridiculous. Still waiting. Now I am on a mission. :)

    Mr. Halle, I have the utmost respect for you and what you had accomplished. But you should know, that all your staff does not live by your standards. My girlfriend was just told she could not have her tire patched, when it fact, it followed all the guidelines on your website (the nail was literally dead center in the tire tread). They were trying to force a tire purchase on her and luckily for me, I informed her not to let them do it... before she even arrived at the location.
    So congratulations on your personal success, but to say your organization cares about us, is a bit of a stretch. What I saw today is not the honor and integrity that you lived by. As a matter of fact, it's fraudulent and I'm considering contacting the FTC and local media about it.

    @Discount tire pay attention to these comments I worked for this company for 7 years I watched the spirit of Discount tire die with Mr.Halle the culture the standard the compassion for their customers and their people does not exist it’s gone yesterday I was there taking a blown trailer tire in to get a new tire put on and order a new rim I had bent the rim as well and blown the tire I got out of my truck I was never greeted made eye contact with multiple tire techs not a single one acknowledged me I carried the tire in my self no problem I’m plenty capable of doing so but this same vibe that just felt like a lack of pride it felt like no one cared the culture was gone was in the showroom the salesman at the counter never acknowledged me or anyone else the phone was ringing non stop no one cared they where actually turned off in the showroom employees passed me going in and out of the service bays and the office trying their best to avoid speaking to me or any of the other customers in line it was crazy Iv been gone 4 years this was not discount tire this was just another tire store
    The way it used to be every tire tech was trained in the following
    Greet every customer that walks through the parking lot if you see them thank them for coming in
    Be clean shaven
    Work with a sense of urgency
    If you go up front to the showroom thank the customers for the patience and assure them someone will be right with them
    As a salesman you where trained to do the following
    Meet customers in the parking lot
    Identify their needs and wants
    Build a relationship with your customers be personable
    Be excited to greet your customers thank them for their business and choosing discount tire
    Answer the phone in 3 rings or less
