Incredibly efficient, incredibly professional…read more I am usually a big supporter of buying from the local mom and pop shops. That said, I went Big Chain and I want to share my experience this morning with Discount Tire in Martinsburg. I looked around, read reviews on Consumer Reports for tires and tires stores, considered the local shop we have used since they opened 5 or 6 years ago... I decided to replace kind with kind. I got the same tires the car came with new. Michelin Primacy A/S. I figured they were good enough for Ford to spec on the car... I also decided on Discount Tire. They are Consumer Reports third highest rated chain and the only one of the top chains in the Martinsburg area. HOLY COW!!! I did the ordering online on Thursday and set up the appointment for 8:00 AM Saturday. Thursday: Email and text confirming the order. Friday: Email and text confirming the tires had been delivered and confirming the 8:00 AM Saturday appointment. This morning I arrived at the location at 7:48. Not open yet, no problem, I knew that. I am always early... 7:55: Tech comes out with a tablet, knows who I am, asks for the keys... 7:57 AM the car is in the service bay. Four techs descend on the car like a NASCAR pit crew. Four hydraulic jacks lift the car and by 8:00 AM all four wheels are off the car. Each tech takes one wheel and removes the tire, tests the TPS units, mounts and balances the new tire, and mounts it on the car. 8:11 the car is DONE. 8:12 the car is in the parking lot, I am finishing up with the service advisor. 8:15 I am in my car and pulling out of the parking lot. AMAZING!!! Everything done efficiently, professionally, properly. As I said, I like to shop with the locally owned stores but this is a level of service that can't be equaled. I should also mention that the price was far better than I could find anywhere else.

My wife and I went to Discount Tires in Martinsburg WV and ordered tires. They went down the price…read moreand and gave me a total which i had already done my math so i knew what it should be. it was almost 300 higher. i asked the guy to tell me how he got the prices. As he was quickly going down the list tires, install certificate, disposal. i said i dont want the certificates. He asked why, i replied i just dont want it. We leave, tires come in and my wife has to take it by herself this time. Well it started all over for her. The first guy says we have to do an inspection before you put the tires on. He says you need to get the wipers replaced($100+) and why did you refuse the certificates. She replied my husband just changed them 2 months ago, he says he has to get his manager to take it off. The manager comes out and says why are you refusing the certificates. Your making a mistake. These people are bullies and take advantage of people that dont know they dont have to get anything they dont want. They make it sound like someone has to get these things to get serviced. I can imagine how many elderly they have taken advantage of. Lets get to those certificates around 50 to 75 per tire, yes they will fix or replace them but how many people blow more than 1 tire out there in normal driving? If you blow one and you bought the certificates you already paid for that 1 tire in total certificates. Now if you happen to blow 2 tires, then it may be worth it, but i like my odds and I will always refuse this bs! Judging by the ratings Im seeing and the common stories its safe to say they dont care about reviews or customer service because we all continue to go there for whatever reason. I will drive 10 more miles and hit a different or support my local shop. These guys are bullies and thugs and take advantage of women, elderly and any other naive person that walks in! i wish so bad I was able to be there when those tires were installed!
