A woman caught the attention of internet users after posting a video venting about the cost she will incur for new tires on her Lexus.
Mindy started the clip by explaining that she paid off her car last week. “And today, I’m going to have to spend $1,800 on new tires, so that’s exciting,” she joked in the footage.
In the comments, internet users were shocked by the price of Mindy’s Lexus tires. “400 dollars per tire? Are they made of gold?” said one commenter.
However, many criticized Mindy’s decision to go to a Lexus dealership for her tire replacement. “Never buy tires at the dealership,” warned one. “You should have gone to a discount tire store. [Many] dealerships charge double,” said another.
But Mindy emphasized that she did price research before deciding to replace her tires at the dealership. “After checking prices at various places, it was almost the same everywhere,” she explained.
At the end of the day, if the price difference isn’t too significant, it’s worth replacing them directly at the dealership to get all the manufacturer warranties. Also, as Mindy pointed out, it’s more likely that your vehicle’s dealership has the tires in stock for immediate replacement, which isn’t always the case with traditional tire stores.
