In making any major purchase for your vehicle, word of mouth is almost always the best way for you to go. Tires, in this case, are the same; to find yourself a reputable tire dealer, you should always shop around to find the best tire dealer to take your car.
When looking for a suitable tire dealer, you must still watch who your information is coming from. Certain dealers have been known to hire people to praise them. You do not want to deal with these types of people, so you should only accept information from people that you can trust.
It is never a good sign if your tire dealer’s work area is messy and littered with parts. This can make for an unsafe work area, and may sign that your dealer does not take as much care of his business as he should.
If you see a location with cars similar to yours in the lot, it is a good sign. This means that the mechanic is familiar with cars similar to yours. For example, you would not want to take a BMW to a shop that has a bunch of old beaters sitting around.
Conversely, should you happen to own a car that you bought for $100 from a yard sale, you will not be getting a good deal by taking your car to a shop that focuses on sports cars.
If a tire dealer does not have any suitable tires in stock for your vehicle, it is a sign that they may not serve many cars similar to yours.
Although you may have a lot of questions for your tire dealer, he should also have questions for you. Unless you provide him with the information, he should want to know if you drive in all seasons (will you need tires that can handle snowy roads?), what type of use will the tires be getting (will you be towing anything heavy or driving hard?) and other such questions.
If the dealer makes no attempt to ask you anything, it is not a good sign.
