Extender32 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Well...I discovered a screw in my tire yesterday afternoon and I took the car to a Goodyear Tire store this morning to see if they could patch it. They thought they might be able too but needed to see how the the puncture looked on the inside in comparison to the bend in the sidewall. After spending an hour there, they told me that they would be unable to repair the tire until at least Tues as their plastic wheel protector was broke and they were afraid that they would screw the wheel up AND they wanted to charge me $32 to patch the tire. I called Discount tire and they said to bring it in and they'd take a look. Not only were they able to patch the tire without screwing up the wheel, they didn't charge me anything to do it. Well, when it comes time to replace the tires, they are gonna get my bidness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRYHEAT Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 None better than Discount. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTCHARLEY Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I have never dealt with Goodyear, but I don't think they can beat Discount's service and prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Ape Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Discount is good... Now on a highjacking track......how do you get the picture to squish like that and make it look normal? What program are you using? Think it's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicksilver98 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I don't use either one. Fletchers always fixed my flats for free or very reasonable. Discount refused to fix them and Goodyear charges an arm and a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Discount has always been tops. I've used em since they opened but lately every time I need tires they have to get them out of CA or TX. It took almost a week to get tires for the wife's Benz and she had a screw in the sidewall so I really didn't want her driving it. When I replaced the Vette tires Discount didnt have them but Firestone had three sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I replaced the Vette tires Discount didnt have them but Firestone had three sets. I have had two flats with my Corvettes. First one I took to Goodyear and they fixed it for $20, and informed me the Z rating was no longer any good. Second time I took it to Discount, fixed it with no mention of loss of rating. I have replaced tires on both Corvettes, at different shops, from San Diego to Yuma, and they have screwed up my rims every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy the tires for Kim's MB at the 32nd and Cactus store but had to wait almost a week to get them out of TX. I wish they'd start stocking something besides Malibu tires. I guess in my neighborhood I own two exotics...lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vidal1313 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thorobred Chevrolet in Chandler will beat any price and has them in stock. Last time I needed tires I even negotiated a free oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
