I was in need of some new tires, and I didn't feel like going back to Costco this time around, so I decided to do a search to see what people are saying about tire shop. After searching through the list, I settled for Mexican Tire - the one that has not only the highest, 5-star rating, but also one that has the most reviewers (so I know it's not a fluke). After my experience there last week, I can see why it was able to gain so many 5-star ratings. And I'm about to make it one more 5-star rating.
I got there just when it opened at 8 am - already a couple of people there waiting. The guy immediately took care of my needs, despite not having an appointment. I needed four new tires. The Lady showed me a set “take-offs” 225-60-17 Michelin for only $320.00. Costco will charge me about $700 for exactly the same tires. I knew it was the best deal in town.
Everything was done within a half an hour (installation, balance, water checked, everything), which I found to be very impressive. When I was about to pay, the Lady told me that instead of charging me the original quoted price for the new valve stems, she decided to knock it down to just –free on the house-, (I requested the new vales because the tires I was getting look so new and I thought you need to change them whenever you get new tires). I really appreciate her honesty - she could have charged me the regular price and I wouldn't know it. Instead, she saved me twenty bucks.
I highly recommend this place - good customer service, quick, and as many other reviewers have commented, they won't try to charge you for unnecessary junk. I don't think I've ever had this kind of experience from the dealer.
