So I took two tires that I had bought elsewhere to Discount Tire to have them installed. The wait wasn't bad and the staff was friendly. UNTIL, they call me into the bay and try to tell me that my wheel is bent. But they couldn't seem to show me where the wheel was hopping on the machine they test it on (And the guy tried REALLY hard to get it to hop and it wouldn't). Little did this guy know that I work for a tire and wheel warranty company and know ALL about bent wheels and I told him so. So I looked at the guy and told him I wanted a radial, harmonic and T.I.R. print out showing the measurements of the wheel. The three techs standing there jaws dropped and stuttered they did not have a way to do that (which is not true, we get print outs all the time at my office). So I asked them to write it on my final paperwork, which they did not do. They were going to try to charge me $175 to fix a ""small"" bend. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! They looked at me and saw a young girl thinking I wouldn't know what they were talking about and tried to take advantage of that!
