Big D Tire Store

We needed brand new tires and after reading great reviews about Big D’s we decided to give them a try. I called him several times to ask questions and although I felt embarrassed he never made me feel bad. He didn’t have the tires we wanted in stock, but he was able to get them in the very next day. When we arrived the owner was extremely nice. I support local businesses and highly recommend Big D’s.

Very disappointed! I was told that they can’t work on a 35 profile tire. The disappointment is that I was recommended by another car enthusiast who has the same profile tire on his vehicle. What place doesn’t do 35 profile tires when they come stock on most automobiles?

I have been going here for years, but everyone is like «Oh, discount tire is cheaper» or «Firestone on post is cheaper.» Negative. I just called around, and with mount and balancing-​Firestone and Discount tire were 146. Big D was 130. Now I can justify coming here even more. Plus, like another reviewer said-​he won’t sell you tires if you don’t need them. He told me to come back once after 3,000 miles on a tire. You walk into one of those chains, they will put a chain on your wallet and yank all your money out!

Wow! I have been to Big D several times and have sent others there as well. This place has always been top notch! They are honest, straightforward, fast, and do quality work. I have never had a problem, nor has anyone I’ve sent to them.
I had been told by an acquaintance who works for a big chain tire place that I definitely needed to get new tires for my car… even though they looked okay to me. Of course I want to make sure that my car is safe, so I headed to Big D. I was ready to buy a couple of new tires, but the owner, Mike, inspected my tires and said that I should come back in 5000 miles! He said that he wouldn’t feel right selling me a tire that I didn’t need. Would a big chain do this? Doubtful.

What is not to like about a locally owned business with great prices, awesome service and quick turnaround?
I cannot imagine going anywhere else after my experiences here today.

Finding good customer service in Killeen is nearly impossible, so you can imagine my surprise too find a great tire shop right here in town. Big D is not big and is owned by a very nice man named Mike… Big D Tire is a small locally owned tire shop with old school personal service. I have a older import car with odd wheels, the chain stores with computerized balance equipment were unable to balance after three attempts… I was told I had a bent wheel or something else… Not to mention damaging my center caps witch are no longer available. Mike recognized the uniqueness of the car and wheels, taking special care, my car drives perfect for the first time in a long time. Thank You!
Mike acknowledged his tires are a few $ more but he doesn’t add on charges for mounting, balance, new stems and shop supplies ect. making Big D Tire quite competitive overall… and you get smart, friendly, adult service. Mike and Big-​D certainly has my future business.

Do you enjoy going into a place that is not plastic, glitz, muzak, and ad-​banners all over (a la WallMart, Discount Tire, etc.)? Big-​D is locally owned and has been in the same family for over 35 years. Mike, the owner is a tire expert and welcomes you with genuine warmth and concern. I’ve purchased three full sets of rubber from him over several years and have been 100% pleased by his recommendations and products. Before going out of town, I will stop in and have him or one of his very capable staff inspect my tires for safety and check the pressure. Of course there is no charge for this nor do I have to wait an hour!
Big-​D does tires, not batteries, car seats, deodorizers, or fuzzy dice for your mirror. Just tires. And they KNOW tires.
You may find a given tire a cpl bucks cheaper at a chilly chain-​store operation but for the money, for the peace of mind that your tire needs including your safety and that of others is an important consideration, I recommend Mike at Big-​D Tire. He is a class act and runs a fine business.
