| - I started my car this morning and noticed that my tire pressure light came on. I had my tire pressure checked fairly recently, so I figured that there was probably a nail or something else that was stuck in my tire. Being a new Las Vegas resident, I had no idea where I should take my car. I remember seeing a Toyota dealership that wasn't too far from where I lived, but I try to avoid the dealerships as much as possible. You know how that goes - long wait times, rude service advisors and they always try to rip off their customers one way or another. So I turned to Yelp for some help, and found that this Discount Tire was close to where I lived and had good reviews!
As soon as I got there, Jeff helped me out and he was great! Sure enough, I did have a nail in one of my tires. He also pointed out to me that my tire tread was pretty bad and because the last time I changed all the tires was in 2008, I would need to buy new ones soon. But he didn't pressure me at all. He told me that if I didn't want to buy new tires today or even if I didn't want to buy it from them, that would be fine but he wanted me to keep in mind that they were worn out and I really would need to replace them soon to avoid bad things from happening.
He was right though, so I asked him to show me what they had and how much it would cost. Being a woman, I thought that he would try to sell me something for a ridiculous amount of money. But to my surprise, he didn't. He recommended two different sets of tires, which were supposedly the top brands, and fully explained the difference between them. He also told me that if I wasn't interested in those, I could buy a standard (lower quality) brand, but also explained why he wouldn't recommend that. However, no pressure at all, I couldn't believe it! I decided to go with the better brand along with their warranty, because let's face it, I'm a woman who does not know much about cars. A warranty that includes lifetime repairs, rotation, and balancing, sign me up!
Jeff did give me a discount, but it still cost me $500. I figure buying a new set of tires will cost around that much anyway. Much better than going to the dealership at least, where they probably would have charged me $650+. Very fast service here, I only waited about 35 minutes. I'm really happy with everything. My car has a smoother ride as well!
Definitely recommended, these guys are great!!
