If you think buying tires online (or from a big box store) will save you money, you might be right…but take a close look at the details before you click the buy button. In the long run, buying your tires from a local business may save you even more money – and potentially a lot of headaches. Hilltop Tire Service is based in Des Moines and offers individualized service and a tire selection that the big box stores simply can’t provide. We have three convenient locations and we’ve been serving the greater Des Moines, Iowa area for over 88 years.
Buying tires online often gives consumers a false sense of value and savings. It seems like you’re getting a great deal in the beginning, but once you add in your taxes and shipping costs, you’re actually spending as much or more than you would if you purchased those same tires locally. Likewise, you could end up spending even more in the end if you get the wrong tires and have to pay an additional fee to ship them back to the online retailer. When you take your vehicle to a local retailer such as Hilltop Tire Service, you will get expert advice, face to face, from someone who has been selling tires in Iowa for several years.
Many of the online tire websites offer customer reviews which are used to sort the most popular tires they sell. As you know, not all tire reviews are genuine, and even if most of them are - you might not want to take advice from buyers who honestly know very little about tires. As they say in some Michelin commercials…because so much is riding on your tires. Nothing could be more true when it comes to buying the right set of tires for your car and your family.
When you bring your vehicle into Hilltop Tire Service we’ll make sure you get the right tires the first time. We’ll look at the wheels and the tires you currently have to make sure you get the style and size you need, as well as the right type of tires. We’ll also mount and balance your new tires so you’ll be ready to drive off safely. If you purchase your tires online, you’ll either be installing them yourself (not recommended) or finding someone to have them put on - where you’ll pay extra again.
Big box retailers aren’t all they’re cracked up to be either. They typically don’t have the selection or quality that you will find at Hilltop Tire Service. When you purchase from a big box store, you’ll be just a number to them. At Hilltop Tire Service we appreciate all our customers and we’ll give you the time and attention that you deserve. Likewise, the giant retailers won’t provide you with much service after the sale. At Hilltop Tire we’ll assist you with all your tire and auto service needs including alignments, brakes, regular maintenance, preventative automotive care and FREE tire rotations for the life of your new tires! When you buy tires from us, we stand behind them.
Give us a call or stop by one of our three convenient locations today and let us help you find the tires you need at a price that meets your budget.
