| - Tire places are notorious for ripping you off, especially used tire places. They sell you tires that, if you're lucky, will manage to NOT fall apart until you get home at a ridiculous price. The guys treat you like you know less than nothing because you happen to be a chick, and that's if you're lucky enough to find a place that speaks English. I've shopped at enough used tire places to know that Frontier Tires is a rare gem. So many times I've tried to call a tire place to ask if they have a tire in stock, and the person who picks up the phone speaks little to no English so I get little to know information.
The guys at Frontier are great. My partner and I rolled up on a Saturday morning. They got us both in and out within about 20 minutes. The guy was really nice, spoke English perfectly which was great, and gave us a deal on the tires. My partner remarked that she liked going places "that treat her like a lady." That is to say, not like a dumb female.
When they're putting a used tire on your car, they bring you the tire first so you can check it out, make sure they're not sticking you with a bald tire. I've never seen a place do that. The guy who was helping us even tracked my partner down while we were sitting in the lobby, waiting to pay to make sure she was fine with the tire he was going to put on her car.
The service is top notch, the used tires are between $20 and $40 each, which sure beats $100+ per tire. They have a huge selection of even the "odd" tires, like mine. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone needing a tire.
