I'll make a formal announcement next week and I'd like to see some Miatas there. We've also updated our website with service pricing: http://www.protuningperformance.com Feel free to stop by anytime.

    I see a tire machine. What would you charge MME members for mount and balance?

    Default Nice shop!

    You suck... do you really know how to use all them tools 'n thangs?

    Awesome shop. Once you settle on $7.50 per wheel mounted and balanced, will that apply to other MME member vehicles as well? I got a Cayman itchin' for new shoes...

    For $7.50 per wheel/tire I'll let the muffler shop down the street use their antique machine and hammer on weights. I cringe every time I see those metal claws of death dig into a wheel. We use a Hunter tire machine with all rubber and plastic mounting points and the 3M wheel weight system and have a no scratch guarantee, am I really asking too much?

    Looks really nice. You have tons of open space....you need a few cars to store? We have a few you can "borrow".

    If we recommend you to others who buy tires online, what is your price to the non-miata crowd for dismount, disposal, mounting, balancing, etc., out-the-door?

    I used to charge $15-50 per tire for M&B at my old job. But that was wheel dependent. For expensive $10,000+ sets of wheels it was $50 per tire. Most were in the $20-25 range and $35 for BMW M wheels

    Nice shop! Do you have a dyno? (What Kind?)

    Our standard rate for dismount, mount and balance is $17 per. We handle Forgeline, BBS, Kinesis, CCW type on a daily basis so we don't charge any more for expensive wheels. All of our service pricing can be found here:

    We don't have a dyno in our new facility although the guys that moved in next to our old shop do. PM me for their contact info if you need it.

    PS: How much would you charge for corner weighting?
