Oh by the way Sears also scratch rims too. I have two sets that was scratched. I made them replace two of the rims but it was a bitch. Good luck trying to go cheap. You should of just bought the tires from Discount tires intown.


Nice generalization. Sears is actually equipped with tire machines that have no metal to metal contact. Yeah, accidents happen and yeah it is a bitch to get your money but you got it right?


There is a standard in the tire industry for certain services. You are going to pay pretty much the same price no matter what tire chain you go to. 2.99 per valve stem is the going rate, $2 disposal is prefectly normal too.

I am not here to argue about which shop is better, I just know from experience at my Sears location that we have some top notch techs that know exactly what they are doing.
