So this is the 4th location of Tire Works I've been to. Their hours are definitely ideal (8-7pm weekdays) for my oh-so-normal job schedule.
Initially, I stopped by for brakes. I knew I needed brakes. My fiance knew I needed brakes. I made that very clear from the getgo. (I kind of learned over time that the more direct and knowledgeable you are about your problem the better the service/deal you can get).
Let me preface: I just had an oil change at Walmart maybe 2 weeks before this visit. They told me, without me asking, that my tires were good. I was almost certain they weren't but just said ok.
Today, Byron walked me out to the garage and showed me where the metal was visible through my tire because the tread was that worn down. I can't really say no to tires at that point.
Got in around 5:50pm, gave the keys up at 5:55pm, negotiated until 6pm (and got $100+ off). Final verdict: 4 new tires and front brake pads + rotors = $695. Approximately $72/tire (he discounted it a couple of times and even said he needed to sell tires today - can't say much since I NEEDED tires). Also got 4 future oil changes and a wheel alignment.
You know why I like Tire Works? I take my car in for something and they don't tell me something else COMPLETELY unrelated is wrong. For example, one mechanic I went to for JUST an oil change said that he took off my tires and didn't think my breaks looked that good. (Side note: they were fine)
All in all, I like it here. Everyone was really nice and while it may be somewhat pricey I know it's done right and I can go back and harass them if something goes wrong.
