I just called DT to get a quote to mount and balance my tires. I told him the wheels were off the car, no tires on them and no disposal of old tires.
The quote was - $93.20
That's right...Ninety-Three dollars and Twenty-cents. ::BaHump::
They will never get another dime from me.
You told them they were for a Corvette didn't ya. ;-)
Nope.Quote:

I once knew a PhD that got upset with his wife for scheduling service calls with plumbers, electricians etc. as Doctor Henderson's wife rather than just Mrs. Henderson. No telling how much she cost that man.Quote:

Let's just get some screw drivers and lube and mount them ourselves.
Wow, that sounds kind of kinky now that I re-read it.
The rest of us were talking about putting tires on a rim..... sicko!Quote:

I believe most NTBs mount and balance for $12.50 each. I had them do the 18" tires for the Murano that I had ordered via tire rack.
I wonder how much I've been ::BaHump:: by everyone my wife has told that I'm a ::Censor:: brain surgeon.;)Quote:

Samm's experiance is not a one off, I had to get some tires mounted last year and they quoted me about the same. I even told them there were no tires to dipsose of and that I didn't need any valves. After they gave me the price, I told them where to stick it.
The previous manager would charge me $8.50 per regardless of where the tires came from. The new guy wants $23.20 per. FVCK THAT!Quote:

For jobs like this, it helps to habla the Espanol...
I paid $25 for 4-tires mounted and balanced in the barrio. lol
