If you purchase tires like I did at America's Tire or also known as Discount Tire out side of California, you get free rotation and rebalancing for the life of the tires. Free flat repair as well! I rotate every 7000 miles or so. It does actually even out the tread wear, so you'll get more life out of the tires. Making the appointment was easy and as long as you can plan ahead a little, you can get the time of the day you want too. I just brought my car in at the appointed time and they took me in right away. They first come out to the car and check the tread wear and mileage and stuff. The waiting room is clean and has good places to sit and wait. The WIFI works fine for web browsing and email, but really not fast enough to stream movies or anything like that. I like to sit and write my Yelp reviews while I wait. I watch my car taken into the service bay and two guys go to work on it, almost like a NASCAR pit stop. Up goes the car and bam bam bam, off go the wheels and rolled over to the balancing machine. When the tire techs finish balancing and re bolting on the wheels, they do the final tightening with a torque wrench instead of like a lot of places just blast on the bolts with the air wrench, zap zap zap and done. Using the torque wrench they make sure it's not over tightened, especially if you have to change a tire in an emergency out on the road and it too damn tight! I'm in and out in about 45 minutes, all balanced and rotated for FREE! You can go to any store location no matter which location you purchased your tires. You can't beat that deal!

I picked up a nail in my tire yesterday while visiting Redwood State Park. I first noticed the…read moreissue when one tire's pressure dropped to about 27 PSI, while the other three remained around 37 PSI. Fortunately, the leak was very slow, and I was able to drive safely all the way to the Costco Tire Center in Redding. There, I was told that the nail was too close to the shoulder of the tire and that they did not recommend repairing it. This morning, I called America's Tire and brought my car in. Raymond and the other technicians were extremely helpful. They carefully explained the tread depth and overall condition of my tires, then repaired the leak in about 30 minutes. What impressed me most was not only their professionalism, quality workmanship, and friendly attitude, but also the fact that the repair was completely free of charge! It's rare to find such excellent customer service these days. I truly appreciate their help and highly recommend America's Tire. They definitely earned my 5-star rating!
