Leaving after 35 years
I brought in my 2024 Tesla Model 3 to have a warranty replacement on the Michelin Primacy All Seasons. They are rated for 40,000 miles and I was at 28,800. This was going to give me about a $350 warranty discount and I was ready to pay when the clerk "talked to the manager" and decided that I "couldn't have that credit" because "Michelin won't take the tire back". I'm going to contact Michelin and see why they will not honor their warranty. And I'm going to contact Discount Tire's corporate office to see why they will not honor a tire manufacturers warranty. When I got home, I tried calling the store to verify this, and was put on hold for 14 minutes and finally hung up due to no answer from the manager. I am done, like many others, with Discount Tire and their nonsense. Once I got home and gave a review on YELP, they called me back and said they "called Michelin and can honor that warranty" and to "bring it back and we can get them installed". They should've done that when I was in the store. I'm not going back, it's terrible customer service, and don't call me anymore. I'm done. Between me, my wife and my 3 sons, we've probably purchased 20 or more SETS of tires from Discount Tire over the years, starting back when I was in college in 1987. At least $20,000.00 worth of tires and replacements. No longer. I'm purchasing my tires from a local small business.
