Discount Tire Lifetime Rotate & Balance

Matt_UKTX · 02-16-2006, 11:28 PM

Just thought I'd share some useful info. I had my tires rotated and balanced for the first time today. I decided to buy the Discount Tire lifetime package. I think it's a great deal - basically they will rotate and balance your tires for $80 for the life of your car (or as long as you own it). You can do it as much as you want, literally once a month if you wanted to. Bearing in mind that each rotate and balance costs about $20, I think its great...

sounds like a bargain........but here's the catch.......

unless you buy something from them at the time of balanced/rotation......
they'll make you wait like hours....i mean hours....just to get your free tire balanced/rotation...
that is to deter you from going there every month to get free balanced/rotation

hmmm, when i had tires from them in the past, and went back for a tire rotation, i waited no longer than an hour. just depends when you go in and how many people are in front of you.

They do it free if you buy the tires there, but I didn't. I bought them online. So far I've never had to wait more than 1 hour, I've been going there for years (multiple stores in the Houston area).

Yeah I bought tires for my Integra from there a few years ago and anytime I was in town I got them rotated if it was time. You have to watch out though because the Discount Tire Centers are franchised and I think also regionally different organizations. That is, I don't think Discount Tire in Los Angeles is the same as the one in Bellevue.
