Default Anyone know any good tire shops to mount and alignment?

Hi, I just got my wheels and tires and looking for a good shop to mount them and balance. So far I been getting ridiculous quote ranging from 30-40 per wheel. Anyone know any good place to mount them in San Francisco area or in the Bay Area. They also said $5 per wheel to transfer TMPS. And places been giving me quotes for alignment of $100+

Mounting/Dismounting is going to be expensive for larger diameter wheels. This is why it is best to just order your tires at a tire shop and avoid the extra expensive labor charges. I can mount, balance, transfer, and reset your TPMS. What diameter wheel do you have?

I just got an alignment done at a place in Walnut Creek called "alignment specialists" who apparently, just do alignmnets. it was $75 for all 4 wheels. Seems like they knew their stuff.

I work at America's Tire Co. We only do wheels and tires. Sorry. But I will rotate and balance your tires for free.

If anyone is looking to get the best alignment you can ever get for a reasonable price I would recommend the guys over at Custom Alignment in Mountain View. They do great work. They've also worked on alot of CL members cars.

So how much do you charge to mount the tires and balance to your fellow CL member.

You guys can shoot me a pm with your info. I just need to know the diameter of the wheel I'll be working with and what exactly needs to be done. Of course you guys will get a special CL member price.

Saweet! I'll probably give Jspec a visit in the upcoming weeks. My dad works at Fry's so maybe I can have lunch with him during the time my car is being worked on.
