Advance Motorsports
 
Hey guys,

Used to go to this place for tinting/wheels/tires etc.
Anyone been to it since the big changes in staff? I need to get my winter tires taken off and summers put back on, but also planning on buying some wheels soon.

Anyone have any experience with them recently? I really liked the previous staff and work.

thanks

dont know about now but they were pretty much done, even tho they switch their focus to tires only now

acurael 02-18-2010 01:05 PM

Whats a good shop to get wheels/performance stuff now? You are right - they are just concentrating on tires now.

advance autosport in North Van, pretty good prices

I actually got my tires from sorat 2 years ago and his service is excellant and pricing you just can't beat.

i got my set of tires from him last year ^

decent price, except his models are quite limited.

Kumhos...and other lower grade brands

DO NOT GO TO ADVANCE IN COQUITLAM!!

- I had a bad feeling about them since they changed ownership. Wife went in to get winter tires taken off and summers put on. Came home after work and looked at my rims (they are 19inch stock rays) and they have a fine black scratch almost 360 degress on each rear rim. I did the exact same thing in winter time and had no issues - rims were flawless.

I tried calling them now and no answer. I will be calling them back.

Bill 140 dollars and already paid...i just paid 140 dollars to get my rims scratched for no reason.
FUCK!!!

Well what i meant to say is the staff....man im pissed. One thing i hate is paying people a price that you think you would get quality but you get shit. I might as well of went to Canadian tire and got some 16year old to scratch my rims and pay half the price.

You cant trust anyone these days to do a quality job.:mad:

$140 to swap tires? :eek:

5 Zigen 02-20-2010 10:12 PM

if it's bill to $140, it has to be mount and balance

hc529 02-20-2010 10:42 PM

honestly I don't mind lol it's not hard to do and it's not like I get all that dirty.

5 Zigen 02-20-2010 11:27 PM

hc529: did u get charged $125 to install your winter wheels with tires ALREADY mounted and balanced? or you need mount and balance?

if it's $125 to install, omg, sth is not too right...

hc529 02-21-2010 02:01 AM

Its already mounted/balanced.
So... $125 was like... wtfff
before, i had 4 rims/tire mounted/balance for only like around 100-120$

so i thought it'd be cheaper just to put the winter wheels on..

5 Zigen 02-21-2010 02:33 AM

what the heck that's a fucking rip off! I think I know a shop that charges $60 but they will rebalance all tires just to make sure no vibration after install (which i think make sense too), but $125!!!

in general that's about a $2x job with brake inspection (on disc brakes)...

no one ever question about the price when they drop it off? or after they were asked for that price?

TRDood 02-21-2010 07:14 AM

someone pay me $100 and i will do it for you. hahaha

i have been going to shops and dealerships to swap my wheels/tires for the past 2 years. each time, it was nothing over $20 for all 4.

last boxing day, i bought my own set up so i can do it myself.

1. impact drill $50
2. torque wrench $30
3. jack $20
4. 32ft extension cord $15

best of all, i don't need to load 4 tires into my car and take it back out.
