Tire/Wheel shop

Do you guys in Seattle have a tire shop you trust to balance tires and alignment? The last shop I went to fucked up reinstalling my wheels after balancing them. The OEM winter wheels are staggered rims but same tire size but when they remounted the wheels, on one side they got it right and on the other side, they had the rear wheels up front. Car felt weird until I took them off and checked after reading a thread where this happened to someone else. Swapped the wheels and felt a lot better. Chances of screwing up 666Ms are a lot lower but I ain't going back to that store.

I've been going to Discount Tire for ~20 years at many locations and many cars (including high-end wheels) and I've always been happy with them.

Went to Discount Tire Burien. 30 minutes and they did an excellent job. Best of all, it was free of charge! Wow! Thanks for the recommendation!

Hi,

Which Discount tire shop? I live in Shoreline, so I'm thinking either Costco or Discount Tire in Shoreline...

Thanks!

I used the Discount Tire in Bellevue. Now, this was a very long time ago mind you, but I don't think they changed the way they handle expensive wheels. I always see Porsches, Ferraris, and all sorts of cars with aftermarket wheels when i drive by there.

Tight and Tidy Racing in Renton. Independent guy working out of his home shop. Been using him for almost 10 years if not longer (damn has it been that long??) you bring your tires and wheels and he'll install while you wait or you can drop off and pick up later. Can also have tires shipped directly to him and just bring your wheels.
If you want to ensure perfect wheel and tire condition after mounting use him!

Had a fantastic experience at Discount tire in Shoreline. Make sure Andy Soeur works on your car, he took the time to hide wheel weights behind the spokes as best he could and took care of my new wheels and F80 as if it were his.
