I've generally had good experiences. Their tire warranty literally pays off the Costco membership for years. I've had 3 flats in the past 15 months and Costco took care of me every time, each replacement just cost like $50 after they measured the tread difference.

But with that being said, they did lose the wheel lock on my mother's X5 which manifested in a headache with trying to get a new one from a local BMW dealer. And it seems like they've damaged the wheels of a at least a few members here. Costco does compensate if you complain.

Like most things in life you get what you pay for. The majority of cars Costco works on are mommy mobiles. Their technicians likely don't have the level of knowledge and care that a more specialized shop will have. Whether the price difference is worth it comes down to your willingness to take on the risk.
