Ordering and appointments
The store page has two main buttons: Shop Products and Schedule Appointment. A common way to use the store is to choose tires online, select this store for installation and book a time slot. You can also walk in, though a booked slot reduces waiting, especially on Saturday.
The website shows current deals and manufacturer rebates, which change every few weeks and carry expiry dates. Read the terms before you rely on a rebate. Prices are not covered on this page.
A typical visit
Most visits follow the same pattern, whether you booked online or walked in:
- Look up your tire size, printed on the sidewall of your current tires and on the sticker inside the driver's door.
- Choose tires online or ask for a consultation at the store. The staff can compare options for your car.
- Book an installation slot, or walk in and ask for the next opening.
- Wait at the store or drop the car off. Ask for a time estimate when you check in.
- Before you drive away, check that your tire pressure warning light is off. If it stays on, ask the staff to look at the TPMS sensors.
Before you go
- Bring your wheel lock key if your car has locking lug nuts.
- Note any vibration, pulling or noise so staff can check the cause during the inspection.
- If you bought tires online from the company, bring the order confirmation.
