Jaynen 0 Posted December 15, 2008 So the wifes tires are looking kind of worn. She started to drive to work today and was hydroplaning so bad she pulled over and I had to pick her up and we carpooled. She had some cheapy brand on for about 30,000 miles but I think she needs some better quality. I don't know where to go in north county for decent prices and reliable service. She might need an alignment as well and I will need some brake work and tires on the truck soonish. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like their warranty the best there, and they are no haggle/no hassle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulmbowers 236 Posted December 15, 2008 I've been happy with Discount Tire. Got my truck tires there, and have returned for rotations, etc. Not bad- but I don't think they do alignment. fn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADV Bum 205 Posted December 15, 2008 I also go to Discount Tire. They have always beat everyone elses price. Going through them for all my vehicles, they have done so many repairs, rotations for free. They are everywhere in case of trouble on the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's always busy, but can always get my cars in right away and fixed within hours and very HONEST and reasonable on price. Can't say enough about him, highly recommend him.

dirt dame 559 Posted December 16, 2008 I had been having good luck with Discount tire in Escondido and I bought my tires for the Jeep there, but the last time I went there to have a flat repaired, they stripped the lug bolts on one of my rear wheels and then told me that "who ever changed the tire for you in the desert stripped your lug nuts and bolts". I got pretty mad, because I was the one who changed that tire in the desert, I called the manager out on that one and made him foot the 125 dollar bill for fixing the wheel. I guess he thought he could fib and get out of trouble, but it just made him some more trouble. This time, I went to an Express Tire for my Ranger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
