costco sells to (and supports) more local businesses than sears does. and
sears auto centers are notorious for ripping people off... so bad they had
to be shut down in california for a period of time. costco just does tires,
and they wont claim your car needs other expensive work done there, like
sears is known to do. and they, unlike sears, wont try to weasel out of a
warranty.
