Got a screw in my tire. Got a new tire for 16.00 because I purchased the warranty on them. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint was they don't have coffee, otherwise very satisfied.

I was visiting town and needed some trailer tires. Discount Tire had the correct size and load range in stock and were able to get me in the same day. There was enough room for the truck and trailer, and they installed the tires and torqued them to spec!

Dont recommend places that try to con women who don't know any better. Luckily my wife knows not to let any shop do anything without talking to me first. Took car to another shop and they fixed tire with no mention of the tires being dangerously dry cracked...

Had to wait over 10 minutes for a tire air check. There was no one else in line and 3 guys I could see in the shop. I have bought all my tires from Discount Tire in the past, but this was bad service. Checking your are tires doesn't take but a few minutes a lot less time that I had to spend waiting.

Response from the owner · 3 months ago

Hello Sheri, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the extended wait time during your recent visit. This is not the way your experience should have gone. I’d be grateful for the opportunity to share this information with our store management team. I’d appreciate it if you could follow the link below and share some additional details with me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to follow up with you. https://discounttiresf.my.site.com/TiresCommunity/s/sprout-social-customer-review?caseId=500PH00001F1aukYAB -Kyle- Customer Care

Discount tire Grand Island NE you have an awesome employee Joshua at this store! In a camper van trip from NC to west coast. We had a flat tire in middle of nowhere Nebraska right before July 4th holiday. He stayed late until we could hobble in and helped us fix up the tire and get us safely back on the road! Many thanks Joshua, you are a guardian angel!! Much appreciated!!!
