Why incur an additional cost for the replacement of a tire damaged as a result of
a road hazard or manufacturer defect when you can get it replaced at no additional cost to you?
Over twenty-eight years ago Discount Tire/America's Tire responded to a very clear customer demand: offer
a customer-friendly tire replacement program. At that time, our standard warranty was much the same as
everybody's-just like today-based on prorating according to wear. So, we decided to innovate. How about
offering a certificate which may be purchased at a reasonable price, that would provide for a replacement
tire at no additional charge, regardless of wear down to the legal tread depth?
This warranty, called the Certificate for Repair, Refund or Replacement, would cover the tire
problems that really frustrate people-road hazards and defects-from the moment they bought the tires to
the final mile of legal tread depth (3/32"). Ever hit something in the road that ruins your tire? Or how
about a tire that becomes defective? Who cares about why this happened? You just want a new tire put on
with no hassles. Right? Right! So we tried it.
Well, here we are tens of thousands of replacement tires later, and our Certificate for Refund, Repair or
Replacement program is still doing its job. It serves hundreds of thousands of satisfied
Discount Tire/America's Tire customers who have repeatedly thanked us for this part of our service by
asking to renew each time they buy tires.
How Does It Work?
If a tire covered by the Certificate for Refund, Repair or Replacement fails due to a defect or an
unrepairable road hazard, and still has legal tread (3/32") remaining across the tire, and it has been in
use less than 3 years from date of purchase, Discount Tire/America's Tire will give a refund of the full
purchase price, together with the applicable sales tax and give you the option to purchase the same new or
comparable tire at the refund price, with the payment of any applicable sales tax. There is no prorating,
no disqualification for any reason such as run-on damage and no mileage adjustment. It is the very best
tire certificate program we know of.
How to Purchase the Certificate
At the point of sale, we will ask if you want to purchase the Certificate for Repair, Refund or Replacement
for your tires. If you decline at that time, you still have 30 days from the date of purchase to buy the
certificate. Remember, the sooner you buy, the sooner you are covered by the best program in the business.
How to Redeem the Certificate
1. The easiest way is to return to the store where you bought the tire, validate the Certificate,
receive a refund and purchase a replacement tire if you choose to do so. 2. Alternatively, you can go to any of our other retail outlets and they will quickly validate the
Certificate and you may receive your refund and purchase a replacement tire if you choose to do so. 3. If you have relocated to an area where there is no Discount Tire/America's Tire outlet, contact
Consumer Affairs at 888.774.6560 and a representative will facilitate your tire replacement. 4. If you are traveling, call 888.774.6560 and you will either be directed to the nearest
Discount/America's Tire location or given an alternate solution for your tire refund or replacement.
