So I give 5 stars to Costco but probably 1-2 stars to the Tire center…read more If you're considering getting tires here, please search the reviews for "Tires" and see it is mostly 1 star reviews. That surprised me, because I specifically got my tires from Costco since I assumed the tire service would be as stellar as other parts of Costco (reliable, high-quality, good value). My tire installation took a while, they are busy, but my main issue comes later. The price seemed quite good and I like they use nitrogen. About 10 months after installing my tires, I had one tire have its sidewall damaged. I was alerted to this by TPMS during a road trip with family - not ideal time to have tire trouble. I drive a lot around DC for 10+ years, I've never had tire trouble, but I can't say if the fault was with the tire quality or if I just had bad luck with a pot hole or something. I had an expert help me put the spare on, and they noted that one of the lug nuts was crossthreaded, meaning the lug nut had likely been installed crooked or forced onto the stud during a prior wheel installation. That made it very difficult to get off the tire, and in fact the lug stud broke off while trying to get on the spare. Because the stud was damaged, I had to deal not only with the tire replacement but also a separate wheel-stud repair issue, which was costly. I called the tire center, they asked if I had brake pad work or something like since installation, and I had so I got off the phone. But I looked at my records and I only had rear brake pad work done which wouldn't involve the front tire being taken off and put back on, I believe (but obviously can't prove with certainty) that Costco was responsible for the lugnut cross threading. I write all this just in case anyone else has a lug nut issue like I did. I will get my tires from somewhere else in the future.

I guess not on this visit as none of those items were even visible anywhere in the store.

There was only one cashier available at the time of my visit with just a few people in line - it was still a quick in and out.

Everyone is personable, and helpful, and they are not afraid to keep things fair when it comes to monitoring the check out line. My only gripe is the selection is not as eclectic and upscale as another nearby location, but you can definitely find some amazing deals.. Parking is of course busy because there are plenty of restaurants and a TJ maxx practically next door. Overall, I highly recommend this location, especially for their customer service!

I stopped in to pick up a gift bag and greeting card while killing time before seeing friends. I haven't been to a dollar store in awhile so was surprised to learn that not everything in the store is $1 now. It has a mix of name brand and generic brands. It has just about everything you could want and need. I love going to the dollar store to buy gift wrap and greeting cards because no one really cares about quality and it gets thrown out anyways. It's definitely a fun place to shop and is cost effective if quality isn't a factor for you.

Can I ask a question and you not get offended? How is Urban Outfitters surviving out here? Like for…read morereal, how is this store still a thing. They don't really offer anything unique, but you always see them. I came in here because the last one I was in had vinyl. I was hoping to browse hey vinyl and maybe snag an album. But this location was on the lacking side. They only had, from what I could find, a milk crate with a few LPs and those new mini EPs. What took up a lot of this space was a beauty section. Are they pivoting in what they offer? I mean it felt like the beauty section was taking over about half of the store. I did browse the clothing real quick but wasn't really feeling it. I made my way back out into the mall and continued my day. No LP for me.

I will say they were very trendy and stylish. My granddaughters got some tops and a purse. There were only a few salespeople, so you were pretty much on your own. The store was well stocked.

They have a huge new space on the lower level of Montgomery Mall. The outfits are displayed nicely. I really liked how their advertising pictures displayed how the Lululemon product could be worn for all shapes and sizes. I also was surprised that not all of the outfits were skin tight. Those days have passed me by. lol. : ) I was asked if I needed any help right away, so service was good. The price point is on the higher side. But, I understand that their clothing wears like iron. So, you will have it for a while. I would like to comeback with my granddaughter's and see what they like. But, overall I was impressed and will definitely come back when I have more time.
