Sadly, I don't get my tires done at Costco anymore. Got tire d of going at 5 in the morning to line up to get tires changed. I can't remember the last time I've had a flat tire repaired there. They always come up with excuses not to fix it. During peak periods, winter and summer tire changeovers, they hire temps to do the work and they are not great. I've had them destroy studs and lug nuts. They'll pay for the damage and reimburse you for the cost, but if I'm going to end up elsewhere, why bother? I also don't think there's that much of a savings. I can get good deals elsewhere, like Tireland or Kal Tire. I got tires for my EV through Tire Rack when borders were still open.
I now take my tires and vehicles to Kal Tire or more recently, National Tire Warehouse.
National Tire Wholesale - Specializing in tires and custom wheels, Burnaby and Greater Vancouver Area These guys took the tires I bought from Tire Rack and winter steelies I purchased from the dealership and had them done in under half an hour. No questions about where I got the stuff from, this or that............. they just plain did it. No appointment, too. Just last week, I had a slow leak. Took the tire off the EV and took it to Costco. They refused to work on it. I took it to National Tire, and they did it in five freaking minutes!
I used to go to this place religiously when they had a place on second avenue near Main Street. Got to know the owner, Mike Mercurio. Super nice guy. They closed down shop, so I thought, but discovered they are now in Burnaby across the street from Lordco NFL. Mike retired, but the place is still like it was when he was around. So, Costco tire shop is no longer a thing for me............ they can take their nitrogen and stick it up their wazoo, lol.
It wasn't that long ago I raved about the service and offerings at Costco Tires. How things "change," eh? OK, enough puns for the day.
