Well, my experience with them has been good, including with road hazard
damage.  Last time, Bridgestone tire (on my Prius), puncture with a screw.
About 10K miles on the tire iirc.  Different Discount shop from where I
bought the tire.  Replaced the tire, no mileage charge.  they will match
prices, including online prices.
