I decided to try Mike's Tire Factory this weekend for new tires, an alignment, and an oil change. I pass this shop everyday on my way to work and figured that i should see if they were worth my time to buy tires from there or not. What a great surprise. I was greeted by Tom who was able to give me a price match with Sam's Club (lowest price around for tires) on four BF Goodrich Advantage T/A tires, and a ten dollar discount on my alignment for buying the tires there. Long of the short, not only was I in and out in under two hours, his technician(s) were able to resolve a shimmy problem that I had in the front end for the last few years (no one could resolve it - not even the dealer). Tom was very helpful in my tire decision. I knew what I wanted and he ordered them right away earlier in the week and had them there when I arrived.
This place is much better then Discount Tire, Sears, or any of the other tire shops around. Give them a try.
