The Costco Tire Center provides superior service and excellent tires at reasonable prices, often on sale. A large selection is available, and tires come with a great warranty and are filled with nitrogen. The center also installs batteries. While the price on batteries is good, it is not as good as the tire prices. Service includes free rotation and balancing for tires purchased there. Customers should plan for a significant wait, with tire replacement typically taking 90 minutes to 3 hours. It is strongly advised to book an appointment ahead of time. However, communication on timing can be poor, with frequent delays and no updates, making the service unsuitable for those tight on time. The wait can be long even with an appointment, and the location can get crowded, though some note the wait is not as long as at other centers. The process involves dropping off keys, shopping, and picking up the car on the way out. Technicians provide helpful service, such as assisting with flat tires in the parking lot or using the service air pump when the public one is not working. Attention to detail during installation is noted. A Costco membership is required for service. While budget-friendly for tires, the long waits lead some customers to consider competitors for timeliness, even at a higher price.
Gee saved the day!! I was stranded with a flat tire in the parking lot and he put a spare on and advised my other front tire didn’t look safe with low tread. I did have to buy a Costco membership to get help but I’m grateful for Gee doing that free of charge and helping when they were busy.

Book an appointment ahead of time, then show up, drop off keys, shop and pick up car on the way out. Can take 90 minutes for tires though.
