Tire Discounters

I needed tires, my air conditioning looked at and my 12 volt charger in my car inspected. My phone wasn’t charging properly. I called the Tire Discounters on Main Street in Hamilton before coming here. I advise calling any place before showing up. There are times that are better than others and not all locations offer all services, though this location seemed, to me, to do everything. They saw me about three hours after I called.
I won’t woo you with how lovely it was inside. Really, it’s a tire place. While I waited, a mechanic came out with an older woman’s key and told her whatever he did was no charge. She seemed shocked and I was, too. Everything costs, right? I don’t know what he did but that was a good impression on me right away.
My car charger bit they quickly explained was my own fault (though in a much nicer way). Chargers aren’t all the same voltage. I didn’t know that. I just needed a higher voltage charger. No charge to just be told that. The air conditioning… Bummer. The mechanic spent a very long time on it. Calibrating, doing car things I don’t understand, really. But they took me in the back and showed me the parts that would need to be replaced. Hoses, the actual unit and explained the best case scenario and likely worst case scenario. My air conditioning man actually said, «I’m a windows down man, myself.» Think I might be, too. All that time with the air conditioning? No charge.
The tires, I was charged for. I don’t know anything about them, so, honestly, I didn’t really haggle or anything. I asked what they thought was best. I knew I didn’t need anything in the top tier, so if they would have said that I would have called it. But they didn’t. The girl said what she thought was best and I called it a winner.
I was there a couple hours but they did A LOT for me. At the end, one of the mechanics told me I’d need new bearings on my car soon. I asked how long I had. Of course they can’t actually tell you because of liability, I’m sure, but I think I have a vague idea how long I have to save up some more cash. Worst case scenario? One of my tires goes flying off my car. He said to try to get it done before that happens. I’m going to do my best.

Since moving to West Chester I’ve visited this TD more times than I’d care to admit (enough that the wifi password is saved in all my devices) and they have consistently treated me well. I like these guys because you can ask them a straight question and get a straight answer, and they’ve done good work on my tires whenever I’ve needed it.

I had a flat and wasn’t sure why, so I stopped in at the shop and asked them to check it out and see if they could fix it. These guys removed a screw from the tire and fixed it in less than half an hour. Really friendly and professional staff. I’ll definitely be stopping back in a few months to buy a new set of tires.

I had a Wonderful experience here! Being a girl and not knowing much about cars, I was hesitant to walk in and buy 4 new tires afraid I would get taken advantage of. Kurtis (the guy at the front desk) was so helpful! He answered all of my questions and helped me find the best deal to fit my needs. He never tried to «sell» me anything and just to make sure I was getting the best deal I called my Brother in law and Kurtis talked to him over the phone explaining each tire to him along with price. I was there for about 30 mins asking all my questions, going back and forth on which ones to get and he remained patient, helpful and most importantly honest on what I really needed to my car. Safe to say I am a costumer for life!

Was overpriced compared to competition although they were able to provide the service much faster than anyone else. Depends on the need. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous.
