Tire Installation
 
Does anybody know of a place where I can get some tires peeled off my wheels and have some brand new tires I have in the garage installed without getting raped in price and also does good work? Tire installation seems very hard to screw up with the right equipment, so any tire place will probably do, just want to know who you guys trust and don't want to pay an arm and leg for the job really. The Tires Plus by my house quoted me $140 but I don't know about them personally. I used to go through Discount Tire Direct and have them install them also, but since they moved, I haven't really been in the need for tires, so I just ordered the tires from them online to get installed in town.

Sid's Alignment and Brake charges $60 for mounting. Ask nicely and they probably won't scratch your wheels.

walmart is dirt cheap @$50, the last time I went there they lined up the dots Right and everything which was suprising (I took automotive classes with 1 of the techs there, he got the 2nd lowest grade in the class). I usually try to avoid the place but that is a whole different conversation.

Do you have a Costco card? $10 each and they use Nitrogen to fill the tire.

The Nissan on Kitzke does it for $50. They do a fine job unless that Cory guy does the work. :P

Costco frequently declines to mount tires they didn't sell. Has anybody gone to them here with their race rubbers?

I get a feeling that Cory guy is probably gonna fart on your seat next time he works on your car... weird...:?:

Wait, mounting is only $50 at Nissan?

Take a poo on his seat instead. You'd totally get him.

Nissan of Reno is not in the business of pooing in your van, sir.

I think it depends on the general attitude of the service writers on the day you bring the car by. :lol:

Nice, one of Keoni's most EPIC moments ever!

Yeah, it's only $50 right now. Getting an appt. is usually the hard part, if you specifically want me to work on your car...

I bough 2 set of tires from Tire Rack and did mount my SUV and mimivan at costco. Not a race tires just all season.

WRX06TR 2008-03-26 04:47 PM

You're lucky...my building won't do it, unless you pitch a fit or if business is really slow.

Kavid 2008-03-27 06:30 AM

Definitely going to Nissan!
