Oh, another thing, they don't do alignments, and so they do not try to
sell unneeded alignment.  They will tell you if the tire wear pattern
indicates alignment is needed, and if you ask, they will give you a list
of alignment shops (some of whom will discount their price if you show
them a receipt for tires from Discount Tire).
