They definitely vary - the one in Bellevue is great and I do all my tire business with them. I don't have to worry about the pucks going in on my C5.

I went to another one and even after being very, VERY clear I had to sprint out to the shop to keep them from jacking without the pucks in.

But the prices are good and they're easy to work with.

As for the dealer experience, two observations. First, I have in the past had excellent luck with dealers for relatively new car tire replacement - so it's a choice by the dealer not to have that expertise and those business relationships in-house.

Second, I wouldn't take my lawn mower to any Lee Johnson dealer.

Default Sorry

My apologies if I offended anyone.

I re-read the entire thread and edited.

No offense taken, its just a learning process. When I lived in SoCal I had several close by to my home and more by my work. Visiting each the best was one town away from home and I supported them for many years. Up here I used the Bellvue one and was pleased overall.

When I bought my 1st Corvette, we started with DT and never looked back. They also do TPS mounting and programming. I think his experience with DT is the exception rather than the rule.
Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck buying a set of tires from DT (tried three times). They have good costumer service behind LS. Its no joke...LS will run to your car and ask how they can help (Still here in Oly Area). Truly...truly cool. DT is great 100% after I walk in (I love customer service). I have also never had a problem with LS across the US. They are 100% true to their word. This one visit was the only negative experience I have had with this company.

That's the truth. After my last visit, I keep my pucks in the car. Good to know about the others. I should make a list!

I have had good luck with discount tire. Les Schwab sells Chinese junk. Toyo are made in China. I won't go near there. Plus they are over priced.

Another vote for DT in Redmond. Bought tires there for my Monte Carlo and Corvette there. They always did well by me.
