Mavis Tire


Absolute shite. Bought Michelins from them, had the tread peal off one tire. Brought the tire back to Mavis to be replaced under warranty and they said I had to fill out a bunch of shite online and have Michelin send me the money.

Called Discount Tire, they said to bring it over and they'd warranty it even though I didn't buy it from them. Been going to Discount ever since.

Mavis is the Taco Bell to Discount being the Chick-Fil-A of tires. In my experience.

I assumed they took over or rebranded from Goodyear. Seems all the old Goodyear shops are Mavis now.

Either way, buy your own tires online at a discounted rate, then give a local shop a few bucks to use their machine and put them on, balance them yourself.

I've been buying from Discount for 20 years. They've always done right by me. Including handling out of the ordinary issues like what you described.

My only complaint with Discount is that you sometimes can't find the more obscure tire brands or models. I saw some All Terrain tires with a really aggressive tread that I liked (can't remember the brand) and wanted to put them on my truck when I installed my 3" lift. Discount couldn't get them.

Minor complaint though.

We tried Diutch Bros outsife ABQ. Weak-arse coffee.

Mavis bought out Kaufman. I used to go to Kaufman on occasion for oil changes and tires and they were quick and fair. I took it to Mavis about five years ago and they tried to upsell so much stuff, their total cost of recommended repairs was higher than the Blue Book value of the car. I told the the new manager I would show their recommendations to my mechanic -- who laughed when he read them. Haven't done any of that crap.

That location used to stay busy. Hardly ever see anyone there now.

They suck. My wife bought 4 different POS tires for the same rim in one year. Every time I brought a bad tire in they’d make up some stuff about why it happened and trick me into buying a new one with a discount
