This place never disappoints. I recently made an appointment for a tire rotation online. They were obviously busy with other customers and vehicles, but I got checked in within 5 minutes, and car was ready about 45 minutes later. Par for the course at this Discount Tire, I can't recall ever waiting longer than I expected. Tires are very competitively priced, they offer free rotation and balancing for the life of the tires. And I highly recommend purchasing the protection plan for additional coverage. Very reasonably priced, will more than pay for itself if you ever need to use it (I know this from experience) Staff is always very friendly and helpful here too! read more

Amazing service from Riley and Zach! Super quick turnaround and amazing value. If you're in the PQ Poway CMR area, this is the spot for your tire needs. read more

Too many managers, not enough technicians. Brought my car in for a routine tire swap. Set up an appointment 5 days in advance, on a Wednesday at 1pm, thinking that I would be in and out. Wrong. It took 90min. At any given time only two bays out of five had techs working on vehicles. Meantime, a dozen or more guys just casually walking around, looking important and carrying paperwork. I used this location many times before, but I think this will be my last visit read more

Dropped in to get a repair in a flat tire for my Lexus. Thank goodness these guys are diligent and efficient. Rotated and balanced! Had my car ready and I working order for the next five to ten thousand miles. Thanks Discount Tires for taking care of me and keeping my ride safe. read more

Just come into this place if you're already on the verge of killing yourself, it would be an easy way out. I went in today to fix one tire and I came out with two tires jacked up. I paid $300 for one tire and then I came back to my car after I picked it up and one of my tires PSI was low after I drove off into the street my tire deflated I was stranded on the street for quite a while. This might have been the worst day of my life because of this place I would never come back. I would never wish this go into this place on my worst enemy. read more

I had a busted wheel and needed a replacement and tire and these folks were so great. I booked online so appointment making was easy. They walked me through all options, were super speedy and even pointed out an issue on another wheel and gave me recommendations for what I could do for it. They were totally awesome and it was reasonable and easy. Good value good people and got me back rolling. Thank you all! read more

First time here at this location and came here for a quote and to see if a nail can me removed and the tire patched. Miller was super helpful and really welcoming. I was very comfortable being to explain my situation. Miller was very professional and was able to check for cancelled appointments and fit me in same day. I was able to come back other staff members were just as accommodating. Definitely amazing customer service, that's professional, welcoming, and fast. read more

Love this place! We've been customers for years. Best service and customer service ever! Sergio helped me out today and he was kind, honest, knowledgeable and professional. read more

They Price match & provided excellent customer service. I get all my cars tire maintained here.

Gee whiz, I ran over a nail again. Low pressure alert light came on and I made a decision to put air myself at Costco vs. going to Discount Tires. Well by end of day on my way to a dinner event my light came back on. I called AAA and they saw the nail. But instead of having then patch it (which only lasted one month last year) I had them change to my spare donut while I enjoyed the party. The next morning I went on their website and scheduled an appointment at12pm. Was surprised I was able to get same day appointment on a Friday. I arrived about 11:55pm and waited until 12:05 pm in the scheduled appointment line. I was fine with a 5 minute wait and when they called my name they handled my flat repair right away. The attendant said it would be a 45 minute and that's better than some having a next day appointment. Knowing I would have a wait, I walked to nearby dry cleaners. I turned and cleared a few emails and my name was called (less than 45 minutes!). No paperwork as they were able to patch my tire and no charge. Nice friendly service by the gentleman who setup the repair and the one who worked on the tire. read more

The Poway location is a shorter drive for me and the Poway location is less crowded (though the wait times are about the same), but I prefer going here because the customer service is waaay better! On my most recent visit, Flyn was my salesperson. We discussed what I needed, and subsequently he was able to get me back on the road at a great price. I really appreciate his understanding and willingness to work with me. I'll definitely be back again! read more

Easiest tire change ever. Tire type/fit online and scheduled the appointment. Arrived day of with the first appointment slot. Riley met me at my car when I parked - I think he was just being proactive but not typical protocol. Done in less than an hour!!!!! read more

Could not have asked for a better experience at Discount Tire. I had an appointment for a flat tire and was in and out faster than expected. Jose helped me at check-in and was friendly, upbeat, and professional. They patched and balanced my tire, checked the air in all my tires, and inspected everything at no charge. It's rare to get this level of service, especially so quickly. I highly recommend this location. The team is efficient and customer-focused. Special thanks to Jose for making it such a smooth visit! read more

My BMW X3's right rear tire was actually inflated to 77 psi. Unbelievable! Let's hope they don't pull a stunt like that again. It's scary! read more

I had a very disappointing experience at the Discount Tire in Carmel Mountain, San Diego. I ordered 4 tires on Friday, Nov 7th, 2025, and was told they would arrive on Saturday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The tires didn't arrive, and there was no communication at all from the store. I had to repeatedly call and visit in person just to get updates. I was then told the tires would arrive on Monday, but when I came in, I was told there was no appointment and that I had to wait another 3-4 hours by the store representative in with attitude. After installation, I checked the DOT codes and found that 3 out of the 4 tires were more than 3 years old, with no disclosure or notice before installation. For a set of tires that cost more than a grand, this is even more frustrating. Selling old tires as "new" without disclosure is misleading and unacceptable. I expected honest communication and quality service, not poor coordination and aged tires at full price. This is the second time this store showed dishonest and unfairness in their business, several years ago they damaged my other car when installed tires and lied about it Anyway, just need to warn other customers about this business. read more

Enrique was outstanding excellent customer care !!!! Inspected my tires had all 4 tires done in 25 minutes BEST Client Care !

My husband and mom had gone to Discount Tire (Peñasquitos) with good results, so when I had a flat due to 3 nails, it was my go-to. ORDER ON-LINE OPTION I ordered the tires on-line (discounttire.com) in the comfort of my own home, which gave me time to research and compare tires, features, reviews and prices. I was impressed by the ease of use of the web site. Simply enter in your car make/model/year, etc. and it will tell you which 'good/better/best' tires are recommended with prices and features. This prevented me from turning up clueless at the store and buying under pressure. TIRES WHILE YOU WAIT When I got to Discount Tire, (driving on my spare after getting a flat!) I parked, then waited in the 'Walk-ins' line. It was maybe a 7-10 minute wait. The merchant walked with me out to my car, got the mileage and some other info and then back in the shop, he completed my order and told me it would be about an hour. I sat in the waiting room and read a magazine. It was more like a 35-40 minute wait, but about an hour from when I first entered the shop. (Keeping in mind I'd already purchased my tires on-line). POLITE STAFF All the staff I encountered were very polite, informative and seemingly honest. One merchant was recommending used tires to someone on a tight budget. POPULAR It was quite busy with all bays full and customers coming and going on a Tuesday. BETTER THAN A PREVIOUS TIRE ESTABLISHMENT I BOUGHT FROM I previously used a nearby 'membership big-box store' for my tires and didn't like the experience at all. Discount Tire was a faster, smoother, more pleasant experience and I'd definitely go there again. Don't forget to ask for your AAA discount or use Rakutan for on-line purchases. read more

I ran over a nail. I brought my car into Firestone and they looked at the placement of the nail and immediately said they would not be able to patch it (for $30+). I took my car to Discount Tire, they explained to me about the placement of the nail and how it could possibly be patched, they'd know once they saw inside. Not only were they able to patch it, they did it quickly and for free. What a relief! They even told me about all of the other free services they offer. Everyone I interacted with had EXCELLENT customer service. Once I need new tires, I'll be back! read more

Really bad service. I had to speak with 5 different people from beginning to end. Tires did not arrive, I kept calling to see if the tires were there. I missed my 10am apt. When they called to tell me the tires arrived, I came, The person that helped me said I no longer had an apt and it would take 2 hours because I was a "walk in" Had to argue to get it done. Even bought the warranty.... very disorganized and never got an apology. read more

Kevin reached out to try and make things right. I appreciate the gesture. I did not respond as making it right for me is not the issue. It is my wife and others that get taken advantage of. She wrote a review two years ago about her experience, no response and nothing has changed. How about full disclosure to all your customers on what the numbers mean? My tires were wearing evenly with a reading of 4 ,first thing I hear is I need new tires. That is not even close to accurate. I asked if that was yellow according device he was using, it was. The salesman could suggest coming back in a couple months to get the air pressure and tread rechecked. What does the 4 mean and when does it really need to be a concern. Some research below. Using these values and current wear trends I have approximately 5K/6 months. Here are some other tire tread depth guidelines: 6-8 mm: Good tread depth 4-5 mm: Acceptable tread depth 3 mm: Tread depth should be checked monthly 1-2 mm: Tires should be replaced 2/32 in (1.6 mm): The minimum legal tread depth in the U.S. read more

Discount Tire - That mark/bump in the tread groove is the indicator it's time for new tires. It would be a waste to replace them at this point. - Tires Near Me - San Diego, California

Service is extremely good here. David the manager i think leads a clean store, recognizes lines and checks them in when possible, repairs are great and walkable fast food is nearby. My only complaint is the service is always a sales pitch for new tires or extra services but I realize its for "safety". Super friendly and professional. read more

Discount Tire - Nail in tire - Tires Near Me - San Diego, California

I never leave reviews. My car was working fine. All they did was put two tires on and rotate. Now it is vibrating, unbalanced, tire light on and it is pulling way off. How do they not notice that? Had to come back, late for work, loosing money. Plus I bought those tires here new and they said they can credit the life of the worn tire but they didn't credit anything. Next time I'll go to Costco. read more

I walked in this am with out an appt. Came 10 minutes before they open. As soon as the guy opened the door He greeted me with a smile .. He was cheerful and took a look at my tire after he checked me in that was at 8am. I offer to buy him coffee (across the street) . I took his order . I came back at 8:15. And my tire rotation was also done . Wow what a service. read more

9/26/25 - to the two employees who helped me in the parking lot today THANK YOU SO MUCH. I rescued an owl off the side of the highway and was able to safely bring it to ProJect Wildlife for medical care because these two employees helped me find a box. I was unable to go inside anywhere because I had my dog with me. I was panicked and worried. They immediately listened to me and helped. I know this is not a tire service review today but if they are that helpful to help me and an animal in need - I would recommend checking them out for your next car service needs! Thank you again!! read more

Went to get air in my tires today. The guy filling my tires asks if I knew the back right tire was from 1998......this makes no sense as I bought the car in 2014 and had all four tires replaced on it. I've since had those tires all replaced at discount tire in Santee. And had two new ones put on again in Rancho Penasquitos. He then checked my spare tire and it was flat. I explained to him that all my tire replacements have been at discount tire and he then stated "well do you get your oil changed?" Of course I do....then "well we don't know what happens to your tires elsewhere"......seriously??? This makes NO sense at all. I have been loyal to discount tire for a very long time. Please explain how I'm apparently driving on a 1998 tire right now?? read more

Patrick was literally the most helpful and kind associate I've ever encountered. I'm not from the area but if i was, 10/10 would come back for his service! The other associated were kind and helpful as well! I greatly appreciated their pricing for tire services! read more

Waited 3 hours for one tire replacement. I ended up leaving the car overnight. I gave up. Nice reps. I won't be going back ever again.

With new tires needed for my sedan, I was excited to see if Discount Tires could replace and install new ones. I shopped around and noticed they were not the least expensive and are on the higher price point due to the higher installation fees. Nevertheless I attempted to use them and did call in 3 times for verify if I could walk in and get the installation done in a reasonable time. Here is where the process fell apart. Upon ordering and being shown a timing of 1.5 hrs by Sergio I discovered this timing was bogus. The time for the walk-ins are in a sisphyian loop where my time slot always gets longer as smaller walk in jobs or appointments get honored. After waiting the 1.5h, which was the initial time to complete, I checked in and was told they currently had 6 jobs ahead. A second agent said it would take an hour. That's when I knew the shop doesn't have a grasp on the situation. All bays being occupied they completed 5 cars in the 1.5h I waited. Another 6 and more and I would be mindlessly end up wasting my day for a premium price. All I did was drive to the a further location and at a cheaper price had the work done in a hour with no fuss. I don't see the need to ever revisit this location or business. read more

This place continues to please. Super efficient--especially when you make an appointment. I made an appointment to get two tires replaced and purchased them online a week beforehand. I got in at my expected time and was checked in by Sergio. I took a walk in the plaza and did a little of shopping at stayer brothers. My car was done within 45 mins and it was promised within an hour. Super pleased with service here. Thanks for being there Sergio and Discount tire staff! read more

Convince and they always check my tires for air. They guarantee the quality of their tires.

Overall great service and even cleaned my dirty tires :) Tal read more

I got up yesterday morning to a back flat tire, had a screw in it. I called another tire store closer to me and they couldn't fix it till late in the afternoon. I called Discount Tire and they said to bring it in, they could take care of it. So, I blew my tire up with a portable air machine I have and drove down. They checked me in and it didn't take much time at all for them to have it fixed. THEY DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE REPAIR!!! They just hope I buy my next set of tires from then. Way to go... excellent customer service. Keep up the great work. read more

If your tread is too low to take a nail out they usually tell you that beforehand when initially assessing the tire instead of making you wait for 2 hours. I don't know why that wasn't done this time. read more

I am writing to formally complain about my repeated experiences at Discount Tire located at 3135 Midway Dr, San Diego, CA 92110. I have purchased tires from Discount Tire with the clear understanding--based on their advertising and sales assurances--that tire rotation services are included. However, every time I visit this location to have my tires rotated, I am met with the same discouraging response: I am told there will be a four- to five-hour wait and that there are "50 people ahead of me." This response is given immediately upon arrival and appears to be used consistently as a way to discourage customers from using the tire rotation service that was promised at the time of sale. This has happened not just once, but every time I have attempted to have my tires rotated at this location, including my most recent visit. The message is always the same, regardless of the day or time, creating the impression that the service is intentionally made difficult or inconvenient so customers will give up and leave. During my most recent visit, I was additionally told that my tires could not be rotated due to a so-called "technical issue." This limitation was never disclosed at the time the tires were sold, nor was it explained clearly or transparently beforehand. Had this restriction been communicated upfront, I would have made a more informed purchasing decision. The combination of: Excessive and repeated wait-time claims, A consistent pattern of discouraging customers from using included services, and Undisclosed limitations revealed only after purchase has left me extremely dissatisfied and frustrated as a customer. I believe this practice is misleading and inconsistent with the service commitments advertised by Discount Tire. I am requesting that this complaint be reviewed seriously and that corrective action be taken to ensure customers receive the services that were promised without unnecessary obstruction or misrepresentation. I would appreciate a written response addressing this matter and explaining how Discount Tire intends to resolve these issues going forward. Sincerely, Oscar read more

The staff is really nice and helpful. I have been here twice recently for two different cars. Both times I felt the staff was consultative and the service was lighting fast (I had an appointment). I started coming here because they fix flats for free so I felt like they earned the business. Last time we purchased tires we did get the "guarantee" certificate and they replaced the damaged tire for free! read more

I came in with a nail in my tire and instead of being offered a simple patch, I was pressured into buying four new tires and windshield wipers. I ended up with two new tires, but had to return three times due to mistakes made during the service. They refunded 19%, but that doesn't make up for the inconvenience or poor treatment. As a woman, I left feeling taken advantage of and disrespected. I also emailed the manager and never received a response. I cannot recommend this shop. Update: the link does not work properly after trying many different times and there is no other way to contact. read more
