fuckin assholes at the local tire shop in rural bumfuck pa(they call it a city) quotes me 40$ per tire to dismount mount and balance a new tire if i buy elsewhere. fuckin inbred assholes. fuck thema nd their one tooth family.

has anyone else run into this before. i know its a rip. i am comparing the price of tires bought at the store compared to ones from tire rack and having em mounted. its about the same price

 

i can get em mounted and balanced anywhere from 10-17 per tire

 

Rip off! My local Acura dealer does it for around $12/tire

 

i asked the lady what do they do for 40$ she said thats just what we charge. sure i'll spend 160$ to mount tires

 

are you sure it was $40 per tire and not $40 for all 4 tires

 

nope 40 per tire. i had to ask 2x

 

Tell them to stuff it and that you will easily take your business elsewhere. Their loss.

Usually around $10-$15 per tire.

 

Holy Shit!! damn, i've never heard of any place charging 40 per tire, thats fuckin insane.

 

report them to BBB

 

for overcharging??

 

There are a bunch of tire places around... go somewhere else. My place charges about $12/tire. If you buy from them it's around $8/tire.

 

Wow that is kinda steep for a tire shop .I work for a dealer and I think we only get about a 100 mounted balanced good to go .We might even be less than that I'd have to ask but we are a dealer not a tire shop nor do we try to compete with those guys .Maybe we should????

it pissed me off more and she told me that after i said it was for an acura. since there are not many acura's nearby, maybe she was thinking o i can screw him he's got lotsa money... bitch

 

Have you checked into the Tirerack's recommended installers? You can go to their site and look up the local recommended shops.

Good luck.

 

actually the valvoline oil change place i go to mentioned to me that the tire rack will ship them to their location and they will install for about 17$. i trust em there. i have taken 2 maximas 1 frontier and 2 acuras to them w/o 1 incident in the past 3 years. its nice to find someone u can trust
