In 2013, we purchased tires from this location as a result of a friend recommendation. Being from a small town, we like to support local business. (Note: there is NTB, Firestone, Discount Tire, and 2 more major chain locations in our town.). We left the vehicle for the day an picked it up with new tires. The price seemed competitive (approximately $800 for set). The initial sale was reasonable & came with "free rotation". After the first 10k miles, I called for my free rotation and they could conveniently schedule it 2 weeks out & leave it (obviously "convenient" is used sarcastically). Clearly they didn't want you to use this service.
So we opted to get the tires rotated during oil changes in lieu of the inconvenient option earlier noted.
After 45,000 miles of the 80,000 mile tire (tread life limited warranty), we take it in to review the difference in wear & they don't want to warranty anything because we didn't rotate the tires. When we stated we rotated elsewhere & can produce the records, they replied "you can bring in the records, but it doesn't mean they rotated them". Really?!
Side note: we got a hole in one that needed repaired shortly after purchase & took it in for repair. Their response to that was "we will fix the first one, but after that you have to pay for it." $800 and you can't swing $0.49 for a patch that takes 5 minutes to fix.
With 5+ competitors in town, I would think they would embody the hometown vibe and give top notch quality service to sustain, but that's just me.
