Where are you getting tires mounted and balanced?

[dan_erickson]

Like the title says, where are you all getting tires mounted and balanced these days? Seems like the price went through the roof since last time a looked around at this. Discount tire wanted $145 if I brought my own tires in. Tire shop across the street from my work wants $45 a tire for mount and balance if I bring my own tires. Seems like a lot of money for a shop to probably scratch my wheels

I used to use Americas Tire. They do not align so these days it's a local shop close to home that is a one stop do it all. I price check and they are competitive and I'm becoming a regular customer.

Motorcycle tires are a whole different deal. I mount and balance my own on all my bikes.

get all my tire work done at a local mom and pop tire shop, have been going there since the mid 1980's ,,if you bring your own tires , $15 mount and balance , if you buy new tires there , no charge for mount and balance...yes I checked into it and absolutely no charge to mount and balance, no hidden charges

The Walmart in my area was doing it and now wants $25/tire.
$12.50/tire if you buy from them.
Lately, I've been using a mobile tire installer with Road Force Balance aboard his truck...$30/tire.

I buy my tires at my local Ford dealership. I can get a good deal on new tires and don’t have to deal with the headache of online buying and searching for someone to mount them.

Discount Tire or Belle Tire.

 

[mrsilv04]

Anything that I buy online (new or used), I have my mechanic mount and balance.

When I take advantage of the "Buy 3 get one free" at the farm supply store, they require that you pay for them to mount and balance at $15 per.

I my area it is $25 dollars per tire and three dollars each for disposal of old tires. I use a family owned service garage.

 

[dan_erickson]

Seems like a pretty good deal. No rebates or other bs.

 

[RitcheyRch]

America's Tire

I had 2 tires mounted and balanced at a local mechanic a couple months ago at $10. each.

I may use my local and good Discount Tire for 'standard' buy/mount/balance. If there is 'something' outside of their probably lawyer driven 'rules' I will use a good indy shop. Both are comparable with price in mount/balance. $25 and $3 tire disposal.

 

[JeffKeryk]

Wheel Works, which is now part of Firestone. Maybe CA only?
I always negotiate the price.

 

[slacktide_bitog]

I use Walmart because they actually torque the wheels properly and don't just throw an air gun at them. The price is good, but the lines are too long. 4-hour wait and over a dozen people waiting in line when they open

+1 My local Walmart. I get to the store 30 minutes befor opening on any weekday, so I am 1st or 2d in line. Ed

I haven't had to in a long time, but I'll probably go back to Mercedes. They treat me fair on tires and with run-flats and internal pressure sensors now it just makes the most sense to me.

 

[JRed]

Local shop. They charge $15 or $18. Been going there for years.

 

[RDY4WAR]

I get mine done at a local mom and pop shop for free. I helped the owner with his hobby stock track car to gain a little more power and keep him from exploding rear ends. In exchange, he hooks me up with free mounting and balancing plus other small things I need.

I use Tireracks list of installers and go by price/distance. Print the price sheet out as some charge more for walk-ins without.
