Most of the time Costco has pretty good deals on a set of 4 tyres from Michelin or Bridgestone, problem is that they don’t have a licence to carry out mechanical work, such as alignment.
Do you get your new tyres from Costco and then go elsewhere just for the alignment? Or just not worried about alignment at all?
From what I’ve read, alignment is highly recommended, especially when changing a new set of tyres, so I don’t want to ignore it.
I guess the tyre shops wouldn’t be too happy to see cars with new tyres just there for the alignment, so they would either charge more (because have to take the wheels off again) or not doing it properly or make you wait longer or all of that, which negates any savings from Costco.
What’s your thought on this? New tyre time, tyre shop is $20 dearer per tyre, so $80 in total. Only If I had remember the rebate from Michelin (not Costco) that ended in August, tyre shop would have been cheaper.
Would recommend Tempe Tyres. Great price and pretty good service. (Although it's quite a busy shop now!)
