It will always be cheaper to NOT use good sam? Funny, their website claims otherwise. So I'm sure good sam is going to start advertising that they charge you hundreds more than doing it yourself and you only pay because of charity. You think people pay hundreds for a service ADVERTISED as saving them money and then overcharge you hundreds and the customers will be fine with that? BS
There is a reason the website lies.
And the guy supposedly told GS 750? Um, then why tell me he is the 750 guy? The chances of selling me anything in the future is astronomically low. I'm not a local. Why not just say 500 and do it? There is no reason to tell me you are the guy gs called BEFORE I even ask for a price. He immediately said I knew they tried to overcharge you when they called back and said nevermind. Why? He doesn't want anymore referals from gs?? That makes zero sense.

He would rather deal with you the consumer and get paid promptly vs. dealing with goodsam for more money but not getting paid for 60 days.
"A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush." THat saying has been around a long time for a reason.

Also, since the OP was shopping after the quote from GS, the tire dealer probably realized if he didn't get down in price quickly, the OP was going to find another tire shop that would easily beat his $750 quote and then he would get nada. Blaming GS could easily be his out for a high quote in the first place.
