Get the best tire deals.
The easiest solution, of course, is to go to your nearest Tire Discounters. But we know that some of you may not have a Tire Discounters close by. (We’re working on that!)
These days, there are almost always manufacturer’s rebates available on one or several major brands. If you’re shopping for a specific brand, like say Michelin, Cooper or Goodyear – keep your eyes peeled for these national rebates. You’ll often find that when one store offers these national rebates, they all will.
Next, you need to look at the value that the tire store adds to your purchase.
- Do they offer free lifetime balancing and rotation? If not, then that tire deal that seemed nice and cheap will cost you as your tires will wear unevenly and need to be replaced.
- How much do they charge to align your vehicle? You should never put new tires on a misaligned vehicle.
If you’re on a tight budget and searching for the best deals consider other brands. There are plenty of excellent tire brands out there that aren’t necessarily household names.
Or, heck, maybe drive a little farther and go to Tire Discounters?
Get the best automotive service deals.
Automotive dealerships have done a great job in pulling the wool over our eyes. How many of us are convinced that we need to go there and pay tons more for automotive service – because if we don’t our warranty might not be valid.
Uh-uh. Tire Discounters, and other reputable automotive service companies are qualified to perform all the maintenance services on your vehicle. Manufacturer’s warranties will honor that work. That means that you can shop around for service deals from shops you trust.
A good way to gauge the quality and integrity of a service shop is to ask them to inspect your vehicle and see if they want to charge you. Charging for an inspection is a real warning that you can expect a whopper of a bill later. Be sure you get the results of the inspection in writing. Take that estimate to another shop and get a second opinion. Be wary of deals that offer a small dollar amount “off” the “regular” price. Shop around and you might find that their “sale” price is higher than you’d pay elsewhere. Like, oh, say, at Tire Discounters.
