Pros:
-appointment within just a few days
-walk-ins OK (done in an hour - they were fast as expected)
-they match and BEAT (they charged me $725+tax for 4 CC2s) crazy cheap price
Cons:
-They have a call center that answers for the local number that you dial and they dont tell you its a call center
-They ordered the tire correctly but when I called to confirm the reservation, they said "you must have made the appointment with the call center; its not on here - for some reason the appointment isn't always scheduled properly with them; however, we take walk-ins!!
-While I was waiting in line on the day of install, I heard the CSR at the location tell the guy in front of me "you may have reached the call center - we dont see an appointment here" See above
-So how long will I wait if I do a walk-in? They give you very generic wait times bc they dont want to over commit but mine was done in an hour
-The call center said they also do nitrogen like Costco; they do not (false claim). When I walked out to see the car and didnt see the green cap, I went back in and asked - response was "we do not to do nitrogen"
-I am told by my mechanic that he has had a lot of issues with Discount Tires not seeling the tires properly and the tires having to be resealed from time to time. Ill have to check if there are any class actions on this bc it seems negligent.
A word about nitrogen (according to my mechanic). As it turns out, nitrogen is not as relevant to the normal consumer market as it is to the trucking industry. It is very expensive to use almost pure nitrogen on tires and doesnt benefit consumers as much as it does the trucking industry, Costco would have to charge a lot more than they do to give us the same level of nitrogen as the trucking industry. Costco apparently uses CO2 conversion and the nitrogen % is actually not anywhere near 100% (you really arent going to get the benefit that almost 100% of nitrogen would give you). Its a Costco gimmick! So while the Discount Tire promise of Nitrogen was false, it really didnt matter in the end. BTW, air contains about 78% nitrogen already. (Edit: contrary information provided here EnterTheWrinkle - https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/c...eally_100/)
Theres a reason that Discount Tire is faster than Costco. Is the reason because they are just better and faster or is the reason bc they take shortcuts? If the reason is that they do a lousy job of seeling (prepping the surface, beading the wheel, using inferior black paste), then the Price Match and BEAT might not pay off in the end if I have to deal with the hassle of ether professionally having the tires resealed ($100) or having to have to constantly go back to Discount Tire to have the issue fixed. It may also be because they dont use anti corrosive paste like my mechanic does. I have no idea if its true or not, but my mechanic is pretty solid. Haven't really had a chance to research this but I hope that's not the reason why Discount Tire is more convenient and faster than Costco. I read other's comments in this thread and jumped the gun assuming that Discount Tire was reputable - be careful what you read on the Internet (that also applies to my commentary since this is only hearsay from my mechanic).
Here's what happens if the paste isnt anticorrosive:
