Default Tire mount and balance in NYC (Preferably Queens)

Anyone know of a good place for tire mount and balancing? I'm ordering a set of tires from Tirerack and also want to know if I can have them shipped directly to them. If not, thats still ok.

Gsoup? Any recs?

One suggestion to save yourself some time and maybe a lil hassle, bring someone who speaks SPANISH with you so you can ask and have your questions answered completely. The guy who does the alignment on Saturday's (the one with the short haircut, NOT THE PONYTAIL guy) is the guy I'd recommend. I had a couple of issued with the ponytail guy but the short cut guy came behind him and corrected everything to my satisfaction free of charge.

wow. I just got a quote from a local place here in jersey and they said $79.99for a standard 4 wheel alignment. I could go to NY and back and it'd still be cheaper.

Well took everyone's advice and got my tires put on at 106th. Quick service (at 4pm on a Tuesday), fun guy to talk to. He even checked my dad's tire and helped redo a bad seal job on one rim for free. Talk to them a little in Spanish and you're set. Great place. I also highly recommend them.

It's $15.50 per wheel for complete old tire removal and disposal, new tire mount and balance. And can't beat the speed. Last time I waited over a hour at Sears... Never again.
