I brought 4 tires here to dispose of the way your supposed to. Google maps brought me in the back way it seems and I followed directions to where it looked like an office. A older guy was operating a forklift nearby. I parked and went inside. They were going to help me and said just see the guy on the forklift so I went back out and he had already backed into my van. When I went up to him, I didn't know yet. He says, hey I backed in to your van. You shouldn't have been parked there to begin with and I'm not paying to fix it! WHAT??? I was parked and not even in it and they're all saying they're not paying for it???? Police have been called.

Great place to send your old car tires. $5 for each tire. Quick and easy drop-off. The staff is very professional and friendly.

This place is dope. Called them to drop off some tires because I just got new ones. The lady was very nice and professional. She told me it was less than $5 to drop off sedan tires. I was like whaaa??? I said really? She said. Yep! I had something to do but I liked her so I pulled up within 5 min. They all were nice when I got there I backed in talked to the lady I spoke to on the phone. She was nice in person too. But anyway if y'all need to drop your tires off go to this place. Don't pay them shops like they tried to do me. I think $20. Cap. Smh. Lol. Oh yea, they charge a little more for truck tires. Couple dollars. Holla!

Stopped in and checked this place out today. These folks are legit. I need two drives for my Kenworth and they have a ton to choose from. I recommend bringing a depth gauge so you can match up your tread. I'm coming back in a couple days to grab a couple tires. These folks are very friendly and helpful. Extremely courteous even though I didn't buy anything today. Attitude alone is going to guarantee my business. Very open and honest. Didn't hurt at all that the woman in the office was an absolute dime ;)

Great place to drop off and dispose of old tires. Staff was kind and helpful. Will definitely use Lightner Tire again if need to get rid of tires again. Was a little nervous when I pulled up and walked in. But everyone was kind and helpful throughout the process.
