This store is my preferred location for my home. I've been to several different Costco locations and this one seems to be busier than others. It makes sense as this location is central to 4 neighboring towns (Glendale, Peoria, Sun City, Surprise)... forgive me if I'm missing one. There is a wide range of shoppers but leaning more towards seniors. I've never had issues with customer service and the vendors handing out samples are always pleasant.
My recent visit included using their tire center for the first time. I had to replace all 4 of my tires due to age and wear and I figured going through Costco would be as good as any other choice. Their prices for tires were similar to what I found with other vendors. Costco has a high standard for quality products so I felt like I made a good choice. The tire associate quoted me an hour for the service and I made my way inside the warehouse to do some much needed shopping.
By the time I was done shopping, my car was nearly done. It was definitely less than an hour so I appreciate the relatively speedy service.
Some tips to make shopping at this location easier:
Park in the outer areas of the parking lot. Yes, you will have a much longer walk but it is so worth it when you can load your car with your purchases without busy traffic around you and can leave quickly.
Shop during the week for less traffic. It will still be a little busy but nothing like the weekend. Customer service seems to be better during the week too as there is less traffic.
