Fredrick came and took his time to get my car up and running again. He replaced my rack and pinion in my VW Passat and I am up and running again. I also believed that using him instead of going to the dealership saved me money. I could tell that he genuinely cares to do right by his customers. I asked a few questions and realized that he is quite knowledgable with cars, I believe I just found me a mechanic, I can count on. The reason my review maybe the first one, is because he is knew on the yelp platform. You want a mechanic who will come to you, try Rickyz Auto and I hope you get Fredrick.

She probably has to deal with some angry customers every day and she may be jaded. And no she is not trying to squeeze out every penny, that is the state and their laws about interlock systems.

Maybe you guys had bad service because you were unfriendly individuals to begin with. Try smiling and making easy conversation with people sometime, really does wonders.

These people have no regards for the impact they are having on peoples lives. I think they are only stalling to squeeze another month of service fees out of me. There are plenty of better options out there for a Ignition interlock device. I will be providing updates on their progress.

----------August 5, 2026---------- Lakewood wins again, the…read morebest Discount Tire location, hands down. Purchased HRE Flow 10 wheels on Jan 5, 2026, supposed to be delivered to Lakewood D.T. by no later than Feb 2026 (so a month later at the latest). NOPE... No delivery in Feb, then No March, then No April, then No May, then No June, then No July... until finally delivered on Aug 5...exactly 7 months to the day since I paid for them... YIKES. Suffice it to say, Lakewood D.T. and I both learned a lot about HRE Wheels. Oddly I bought my Flow 11 wheels for my Audi RS7 and it took about 5 days to get those wheels from California (so I assumed a similar outcome for my Audi Allroad). This time for my Audi Allroad, it took 7 months. Couple of notes in this storyline: We learned that HRE does not make their FLOW wheels, they sub-contract them out to a company I have not heard of or remember. But HRE does not tell anybody this. So, they make excuses month after month while secretly deferring to an unknown wheel contractor in TAIWAN, which is where HRE are made (supposedly). So, I was riding around with some MSW wheels I bought on Jan 3 from D.T. that I did not like and immediately wanted to exchange them for the HRE I bought 2 days later on Jan 5 thinking I would have the HRE in 5 days similar to my RS7 example... Well, 7 months later they finally arrived. D.T. did not charge me for the MSW Wheels on my Allroad (I offered $200 towards the $1200 they cost for being forced to drive them for 7 months), D.T Lakewood knew I tried to trade them in but HRE screwed D.T. and me on the MSW exchange. So, I got a REFUND for these unwanted MSW wheels (thank you to SAM). Needless to say, the FLOW 10 HRE are unbelievable ART for my ALLROAD, just pure Rembrandt's or Michelangelo's in wheel form. PURE ART making the look of my car just POP... Sam is the NEW assistant manager taking over for Gilbert, and is as understanding and polite as can be (this man made all the decisions after hearing the story, and so I thank you, Sam for all your understanding on this long-long-long purchase). Garrett is the real stand out as he helped me through the whole process, remembering me from when I bought the HRE's back in January. He helped mount my new HRE wheels, he made sure that the HRE center caps perfectly aligned with the valve stems, the balance weights were affixed on the far "inside" of the wheels "only" (so, hidden from view), the lug bolts and caps all matching as a couple were off, the wheels were also rotated, and finally he glossed my TIRES (just awesome). A PERFECT 10-stars... Here me DISCOUNT TIRE CORPORATE, you need to elevate GARRETT to a store manager, he is so deserving and I'm pretty sure you know this. As polite and knowledgeable as possible in our reality (thank you for all your care, Garrett...!!!). Honorable mention also goes to Eric for all his great care as well balancing and mounting with Garrett. Eric was also at the Lakewood D.T store back in January so these guys remembered me, which says a lot... I been coming to D.T. since about 2000, so 26 years, and these are the reasons why. LAKEWOOD gets 10-stars. B. BROWER, Tacoma WA

The team was friendly right away and actually took the time to talk with me like a normal person, not just another sale. No pressure, no upselling, just clear options and honest recommendations based on what I needed. What stood out most was how efficient everything was. They got me in and out faster than I expected without cutting corners. You can tell they've got their system down and respect people's time. It's rare to find a place that's both this professional and this personable. I'll definitely be coming back next time I need tires.
