Costco Tire Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably cold morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Costco Tire Center. The air felt heavy with impending snow, but inside, things were heating up in more ways than one. As he walked in, a regular customer greeted him warmly, asking if he needed any help with his tires today. Startled by the unexpected conversation, the delivery driver blurted out that he actually had some flat ones himself. They ended up spending the next hour discussing tire tips and sharing stories—all while enjoying free coffee from Costco's café. It turned out to be a cozy morning after all.

2. A little boy followed his dad into the Costco Tire Center one Saturday morning. As they waited for their tires to be checked, he pointed excitedly at something on the floor and whispered, ‘Dad, look! Is that really a tire swing?’ His dad smiled down at him and said, 'No son, that's not a tire swing—those are just old tires.' The little boy looked puzzled but then grinned wider as an older gentleman nearby chimed in, 'Actually, kid, it is a tire swing…just no longer welcome at our neighborhood park!' They all laughed, and soon enough, everyone had a good laugh over the mischievous tire swing memory.

3. A delivery driver arrived early one foggy morning, only to notice something odd in the parking lot—a tire slowly rolling towards him. The driver braked sharply, but the tire kept coming, undeterred and seemingly unaffected by the fog. Finally, it rolled up to a nearby mailbox and stopped, as if waiting for someone. Turns out, it was just an old tire belonging to a neighbor who’d left it there overnight. The end—except for the occasional late-night visits from Mr. Smith’s tires.

4. Have you ever seen someone so focused on their shopping list that they forgot everything around them? Well, one day a regular walked into Costco Tire Center with a determined look on his face. He approached the counter and said firmly, ‘I need four tires for my truck.’ The clerk raised an eyebrow but nodded. A few minutes later, as the man was leaving, he overheard another customer ask, ‘Hey, isn’t that guy buying tires for his boat?’ To which our heroic shopper calmly replied, ‘Nope, just doing some water aerobics tonight!’
