Drop by to get one tire replaced. I figured since it was late (15 minutes til close) that I would check and see if they could do it the next day. They went ahead and got it done that evening. Amazing customer service!!

EDIT: Lowered from 4 stars to 1 because the tires were improperly balanced during installation, and were still off balance after coming back a second time. I had to go to the State St location in Garden City to get the job done correctly. ORIGINAL POST: Got a set of Nokian Outpost APTs for my RAV4. They were price matched with Walmart, so I got nearly 300 dollars off of Discount Tire's list price. I watched the whole installation and I'm satisfied over all. Took about 45-55 minutes from when I parked to when I drove off. Only gripe is that the hub caps on my wheels weren't re-installed with proper care. The caps weren't properly aligned so if I had to add or deplete air at the gas station the cap would've come between the tire stem valve and the nozzle. It's something that took me about 5 minutes to correct after I got home. The lug nuts were torqued to 80 ft lbs instead of the 76 specified by Toyota but that's purely a nitpick. Other than that, I'm happy with the experience.
