Costco in Reading

[theboyfold]

Do they answer the phone? I've been trying to get hold of them for the last couple of days and they aren't answering.

I'm after a pair of fronts for the Boxster and I'm struggling to get hold of anything at the moment!

I've never had a problem phoning them in the past, although I haven't tried for at least a month now. Last time I spoke to them, they answered within 6 or 7 rings IIRC.

Maybe they are short of staff at the moment. Just had a look through the SAS Directory and have found that Bracknell Tyres are a very good price. I might give them a go.

Had the same issue today - rang & rang. Tried again & it got answered almost straight away.

Costco tyre prices arn't that great unless they are doing one of their "20% off for a set of 4" deals. Their wheel balancing is a bit suspect too.

Try martins in west end. Just got a pair of uniroyal rainsports for the e46 and nobody could get near the price even the online types like mytyres.

Got my rears done with martins and get great prices on the Falkens that I had on before. Can't beat him for prices. No wonder the guys are always so busy down there! Have been using him for the last few years.

I agree, he is just down the road from me so I save on petrol as well

They are just 2 miles south of J3 of the M3
Right at the traffic lights, just allong on the left

Pretty sure I've seen you down there once actually Norman. An ex used to live at the end of Brentmoor Road so I was up and down that road most days.

I'll always recommend them to anyone, spot on service and bloody good prices every time I go down there. Definitely knows his stuff too.

I've not been for a little while as previously bought 4x4 Tyres from a specialist and other car has been a company car. But pretty much all the family cars in past 10 hrs have been there. I notice they've gone up Market a bit with a waiting room and the health and safety guys have done an audit as you can't stand up on the open bay/slope!

Shame I didn't see this thread earlier I went yesterday afternoon. I would've asked. If you phone the actual Costco number rather than the tyre part, if that's what you're doing? you should get an answer, I always do anyway.

I used them for years... until i found they fitted 2 tyres to the Tuscan at 37 psi (should be 27!!!) I got quite a shock bouncing along the motorway. If you use them, check the pressure after fitting
