Over here I have the same issue, plus they charge for storage of the summers then storage of the winters and tire change fees, Finally I spent so much time just going there and waiting that I decided I had enough, it would be easier for me to do it myself, not to mention that, believe it or not, it was costing me nearly 1K per year for tire changes, go figure, solution: buy a second quickjack 5000lb unit and now I do my own cars and it is in an out faster than travelling to the local shop, that quickjack got paid in one season.
I suggested the storage thing to Discout Tires, they thought it was an interesting concept. As it is, I bought a 3 tier tire rack that I have in my 968 storage unit a couple of miles from their store.
They change the tires for me for free. I have them mounted on a spare set of alloys or steel wheels. I'm too old to change my Mercedes SUV wheels/tires. I swear they weigh 50lbs each. I do it often enough I know that late morning tues-thurs it will rarely take more than 45 minutes to get it done.
Pro-tip: NEVER go in to get your snow tires installed during a snowstorm. DAMHIK.
