I was looking for a specific Michellin tire that the other big box retailers were out of stock on. Tire Guy not only had the tire but was almost $200.00 less than the bid box retailers. The tire were installed in 45 minutes and I was able to apply for the current Michellin rebate.

This place is on the edge of the 'hood. You will definitely be looking over your shoulder as constantly there are people walking and driving by who will be staring at and measuring you. Huge rims, vulgar rap music and the like. But these guys, and a gal or two, here are great. I've been here three times now and I've never had a reason to go elsewhere for my tire needs. My first visit was to diagnose a tire that always seemed to go flat by the time I got to the parking lot after work. Two other places wouldn't even look at the tire and both wanted me to buy a new tire. This place took the tire off, dunked it in water, and checked it very carefully before announcing it was a small leak at the base of the valve (which cannot be seen unless the tire is removed from the rim, which they did). New valve installed and charged me $7. This latest visit found me with a tire that just wasn't going to pass inspection due to severely worn tread. This greatly annoys me because it is the same tire I had just last year purchased from the dealer (yeah I know). My tech put the tire on a balancing diagnostic machine and told me that the tire hadn't even been balanced when it was put on my car. Sigh... really? That explains the slight vibration and the irregular wear. I had almost convinced myself that my car might be in need of an alignment. So instead of paying a few hundred bucks for an unnecessary alignment I was pleasantly surprised with a new-looking used tire with a price tag of $32. Not only that but no more vibration! If you are in this area and need a tire (or a set) and/or some wheel/tire repair come take a look. Oh... they have a practice here, probably to prevent some shady folks from driving off after repair/replacement completed, of keeping your car jacked up until you pay. Plus the tech will walk with you and stay until the transaction is completed. By the time you sign your slip he will have lowered your car and it'll be ready to drive. It is an interesting approach to go through but given the area it's in I am not too terribly surprised. Happy wheelin'!

Carolina Wheel Repair

It's not often I have a desire to give more than 5 stars, but CWR kinda blew it outta the water…read morewith my wheel repair! I have had curb rash on all four of my wheels for a good while (it's a sports car, I may or may not drive it a bit hard sometimes, don't judge me), but it took two bent wheels (again, don't judge!) for me to look into repairing or replacing them. If you've ever shopped for wheels, you know it's a painful process. By the end of the day, I researched wheel repair. Hands down, the best quote was from CWR and LOOK AT THEIR REVIEWS! Okay, maybe don't look at them here on Yelp, but their reviews on Google are the gospel truth. They got me in the day after I decided to fix the wheels and I had my car back by the end of the day. They literally come to you or try to meet you somewhere close to you (wheel bends make things trickier since you have to go to a wheel shop to have the tire removed). ***Look at the pics of my worst wheel before and after. Is that even the same wheel?! Why, yes, yes it is! My car looks awesome again AND the steering wheel doesn't vibrate above 55mph. WINNING.

Scuffed the wheel on brand new truck when it slid into a metal storm drain grate and curb this past…read morewinter after the ice storm. It was purely cosmetic and quite obvious. I was actually expecting a reasonably decent job as several folks told me that it was large enough and across enough different textures that it would never look new again. I am telling y'all that this team completely and totally exceeded my expectations. It took several moments of very close inspection, and I had to put my glasses on, and I still had a difficult time identifying what was worked on. These guys are AMAZING! Additionally, it was done in less than two hours from the time I arrived. I hope I do not need them again but if I do, there is no doubt who will get the business. Thanks guys!!

Yesterday morning I purchased for used tired from rockside. By yesterday evening I had a flat…read more I went back this morning (had to call AAA yesterday because I was stranded at work due to the flat) and they patched the hole. I left, and noted they did not recalibrate the TPS. Did that and decided to check the tire pressure myself. All four of them were at different pressures, two of which were 20psi OVER where it should be. At this point I'm pressed. We paid $185 for a tire that had a hole and needed patching. I had to call AAA, and I missed half a day of work. We go back. We're like hey, clearly whoever put these on doesn't know wtf they're doing b/c we had a hole and they're all at different pressures and they're over pressure. This sucks, we don't want your shoddy tires we want our money back. They did absolutely jack all to make it right. I drove to my mechanic to make sure the tires were now safe to drive on. They fixed the tire pressure in them, and my mechanic said that I won't die, but the tires they sold me have tread on them so bad they would NOT pass state inspection. $185 and if I had to get an inspection tomorrow I wouldn't pass? Are you for real right now? This is unreal and not right. Integrity is dead in the modern age.

Went today to get a tire I bought elsewhere mounted. I speak Spanish but most other Spanish…read morespeakers assume I do not. Attendant came up to me and asked what I needed. I told him and he went to ask the manager what he should charge. This all happened next to me and the manager said to try to get me to pay more than normal. When the attendant told me the price, I asked if they could do better. They lowered the price by 25%. During the mounting I heard the mechanic call me an expletive for asking for a discount. At this point I made it clear that I spoke Spanish and he should not be treating his customers this way. When I went to pay I had a long conversation with the store manager and he refused to take any responsibility, calling it a misunderstanding. Buyer beware, I will never return and will let everyone I know not to go there.

Hands down, the best. I can't believe that there are not swarms of people posting reviews on here…read more King's seems to have a long history in Raleigh. Every time I mention it, people say, "Duh. You didn't know about King's? My father sent me, and his father before him." Service is fast, friendly, and honest. We love King's and will never go anywhere else.

In all my life I've never cared or taken the time to leave a bad review for any business, until…read morenow. My experience here made it completely necessary. I brought my 2003 Ford Escape in simply because the ABS light was on. They charged me an absurd $246.68 just for a diagnostic fee to pull codes C1145/C1234, and then quoted $613 total to replace a single front wheel speed sensor (a standard 30min to an hour max with an older rustier job with a cheap part). When I asked if they could apply the diagnostic fee toward the repair, the advisor dismissively told me that rolling diagnostic fees into repairs is a "myth." (that claim is entirely false, as many reputable shops routinely credit diagnostic fees toward authorized repairs). When I pointed out how over-inflated the pricing was, and that I'd save more money having to pay a diagnostic fee at another shop and do the service there, he simply responded "okay" and showed zero willingness to work with me. This is a textbook example of predatory charging and exploitation of customers. I paid the ridiculous diagnostic fee just to get my vehicle out of there, and I will never return. Take your money elsewhere and go to a shop where they respect their customers.

I visited this Discount Tire location on Jan 19, 2026 to fix an issue with my tire: a stuck nail…read more After the terrible experience at the Wake Forest location (on 11212 Capital Blvd) that was a walk-in, I decided to make an appointment for this visit... the first time I had to do so. Discount Tire's Journey Tracker app actually worked properly this time around (it didn't work at all at Wake Forest). I used it to notify that I was on the way, and of my arrival after I parked at the designated lot. It was about five minutes before the appointment time when I arrived. Despite the day being a public holiday (Martin Luther King, Jr.), the wait time was a fraction of the 5-minute I had suffered at Wake Forest. After the staff member looked at my car, he determined that the tire had to be replaced. Since I didn't purchase a warranty, I paid full price for the replacement. Unlike at Wake Forest, the staff member told me approximately what time the my car would be ready for pickup, and that the technicians worked on my car almost immediately (Wake Forest didn't get to it until almost four hours later). Journey Tracker was updated to show 1) time window of my arrival and 2) estimated completion time. The text message on my phone showed the check-in time of 3:19pm. Like at Wake Forest, 4400 Fayetteville has three bays; unlike at Wake Forest, 4400 Fayetteville were operating three service areas full-time in their bays during the entire time I was there. The waiting area was less than half-full. l returned almost an hour later but didn't wait long to pick up my car. The text message notified me at 4:12pm that it was ready. That was the time that I got into my car and left. Total wait time was less than an hour. Why did I choose 4400 Fayetteville? Because they had appointments available the next day while all the other locations didn't. I was expecting similar crappy services that I had at Wake Forest, but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the case. It restored my confidence in Discount Tire and reaffirmed that not all of their locations are the same. Even though 4400 Fayetteville is out of the way for me, I will consider going back here for future services.
