The Discount Tire Store Will Keep My Family in Tires Forever

About three years ago, I realized that my tires needed to be changed desperately when I had a blowout on the freeway and finally examined them closely. I had bought them all at the same time, and I knew that if one of them blew, the others would be soon to follow. I shopped around and realized that most of the places I was checking were trying to gouge me on the price. I then went to a discount tire store and talked to one of the sales reps, and have to say that is where my family and I will go forever.

The tire blew out while I was on the freeway going about 70 miles an hour in traffic. It was terrifying, to be honest, and I sincerely wish it had not happened that way. I managed to get off the road and off the shoulder into a grassy area next to the highway. I changed the tire and put on the spare, and immediately called my wife to let her know what happened. I think she was probably even more scared than I was, and told me to be very careful coming home. At that point, I had not even ever thought about going to a discount tire store, even though I had seen them advertised.

A friend of mine told me about a place that was fairly close to my house that would give me a pretty good deal. I think my friend talked to the salesman ahead of time and told him that I had a good job, because the guy quoted me a price well above the going rate for a new set of tires. When I pointed this out to him, he informed me that was the best he could do, probably thinking that I would give in because I needed the new tires. When I informed him that I was not interested and started to leave, then he began to back-track and lower the price. I told him I would think about it once he reached what I felt was a reasonable asking price, and told him I would be in touch. I wanted to check out the discount tire store.

I made a few more stops before I went to the discount tire store, and while some of the asking prices were better than what I had encountered at the first store, they were still more than I wanted to spend. When I went to the discount tire store, they treated me with respect as soon as I walked through the door, quoted me a more-than-fair price for the set of tires and said if there were any sort of problems to feel free to contact them.

I have not had any problems with the tires I bought from the discount tire store, and now my family always goes through them for our tire needs.
