DEALERSHIP WONT HONOR THEIR OWN COUPON

[zrickety]

Not for nothing, but I'll do everything in my power to never go to the dealership. Even if I like them.
Get your tires online, tirerack or discounttiredirect, you'll be much better off.

Other than venting, what expectations from the forum members are you looking for?

what the hell are you doing at the dealership buying tires with a crappy $50 coupon?

Why not buy them from one of this forum’s sponsors?

Now he wants me to print it out. I’m like “dude where the hell do I do that? I live an hour away”. So I ask him for his email to send it. Give me attitude but agrees.
Says he has to pass it along to the OWNER and see what he says

I dunno man, all that blood pressure medicine you are needing to take for what amounts to 20% off a $100 tire, so 20 bucks. Maybe its a "part" maybe its just a "tire" who knows. Its their coupon so I guess they get to define the word "part".

Also, just my 2 cents, but you shouldn't even be at a car dealer to get a tire. They will have inflated prices as it is. Any number of places, like discount tire, will serve you better. I/ve never had any issues at those places and they will even have a better guarantee/warranty on the tires.

Not sure why all the hate for tires from the service department. I know they’re usually only good for denying my warranty claims the first 3-4 visits, but I picked up a set of Wildpeaks from a local dealer last year offering ”buy 3 get 1 free” promo with same per-tire cost as Discount & Tirerack before the free one.

buy 3 get 1 free

During this promo, my local dealer marks up the cost of each tire such that the cost of three during the promo is really the regular cost of four. Consumers buying inside or outside of the promotion end up spending the same amount of money.

Yes, this. Exactly.

It the same thing when I go to Kohl's and see a 5 pack of white tee shirts, advertised as a big sale with buy one pack get one free. Sounds awesome except the first 5 pack cost like $45!

Dealership is correct. Tires are not classified as parts. That doesn't make sense to a consumer though, so understand your frustration.

Northridge 4x4 is a forum sponsor that offers up to 20%? off with coupon code JLWRANGLERFORUM

Another option is discount tire direct. They price match and run $100 off flash sales pretty often. I recently got an email about one.

The Northridge coupon doesn't work on ARB lights.

Yeah, it can be hit or miss depending on the brand. Some manufacturers, obviously including arb, already have their dealers pricing their products at the lowest price that they're willing to sell at.
