Questions & Answers
01

The First Question Everyone Asks

How much do I actually earn per referral?

Every time someone you refer comes in and has any work done — even a single tire — you earn $25 cash credit toward your next visit. No minimums, no fine print about buying a full set.

The credits stack. Refer three people in a month and you've got $75 sitting there, ready to knock down the cost of your next set of all-seasons.

The Fine Print Question

Do they have to buy four tires, or does one count?

One tire counts. One oil change counts. A flat repair counts. The requirement is simple: any paid service of $30 or more triggers your $25 credit.

Why we do it this way:

We'd rather have your friend discover the shop on a $60 tire rotation than never come in because they didn't need a full set. Most first-timers come back within a year for the bigger job anyway.

03

The Timing Question

When do I get paid?

Your credit posts to your account the same day your referral pays their invoice. You'll get a text confirmation: "Dave R. just used your referral. $25 added to your account."

You can use your balance on your next visit — just tell the counter staff your name. No app to open, no code to remember.

Real Example

Dave R. referred three coworkers in February and banked $75 toward his next set of Michelins. His Camry needed all-seasons anyway — the referrals paid for nearly a full tire.

The Skeptic's Question

Is there a catch? What's the fine print?

There isn't much. The referral has to be a new customer — someone who hasn't been to Tread before. Your code ties to their first visit. After that, they're just a regular customer like you.

One tire, oil change, or any $30+ service qualifies

Credits never expire (active account required)

No limit on referrals — refer 20 people, earn $500

Referral must be a first-time Tread customer

Self-referrals don't count (yes, we check)

I told my brother-in-law about Tread after they fixed a slow leak for $18. He came in two weeks later for a full set. The $25 credit basically paid for my next oil change.

Our delivery fleet runs hard. Tread knows every van by license plate. I started sending my coworkers here too — the referral credits go straight toward my personal car.

Spring changeover every year, both cars. Been coming here since 2018. The referral program is just a bonus — I'd send people here anyway.
