Costco Tire Warranty: Repair, Rebalance, Rotate – $0.00

I’ve written in the past about why I purchase my tires from Costco and today I was able to use their great tire warranty. A co-worker pointed out that I had a nail embedded in my tire via a business card note around the middle of the week and so today I brought my tire in for repair. The center opened at 9:30 and when I arrived at 9:20, there were already a dozen people ahead of me in line. The perfect storm of a tire promotion ($60 off a set of 4 tires) and, well, the impending actual snow storm meant that everyone was going to get their work done today. By noon, they had stopped accepting any new work!
Today, I had the all the tires checked for pressure, had them balanced and rotated, had the front passenger tire deflated and re-inflated with nitrogen to match his brothers (when I had the rim replaced, the autoshop could only inflate with regular air), and the nail puncture repaired on the rear passenger tire. Final cost: $0.00. Now, all that wouldn’t have cost much at all but it’s always nice to get service for free.

I’ve ALWAYS had GREAT service at Costco!
Costco does indeed have excellent tire prices with the included warrenty. However, I have found that Big O will match Costco’s prices (with a nominal charge for tire disposal) and they will also do alignment for an addition charge; something that is critically important for proper tire and that Costco in not equipped to do.
I don’t like the warranity that Costco offers, I traded CRV’s, but I kept my wheels and new Michelins, went back to Costco for tire rotation and tire repairs, some employees will honor the Costco warranty while other employees will not, some managers will honor the warranity while other managers will not. I had about 10,000 miles on my Michelins and took tire back to Costco for replacement, Employee James said Costco will replace tire free of charge, but when tire came in, I went to get tire replaced and run into employees that would not replace tire, so I turned in my membership card and said I will not shop at Costco again.
