cheap wheel balancing services
 
anyone know a place that does wheel balancing for a low price? trying to balance my all seasons, the tires are on steelies, and they are off the car NOT ON

thanks :alonehappy:

When I got tires at Pick-a-Part, they mounted them for $10 each and balanced for $5 each.

Dunno if you really save enough to make it worth the drive to Chilliwack though...

Most places will charge $20/tire to mount and balance. You know, you could've just picked up a Yellow Pages and started calling people...

is that only for steelies though?

the least I've ever paid was $100, and average price was $150 for a set of 4 mount+balance

That's how much I've been paying

Maybe give PTU auto service a call

Word is they do it for $10/tire

Just try goodyear or kaltire. Like others have said, just call some shops and ask for quotes and find the cheapest

^My gf is like that too haha, hell I used to be like that too when I was young. You can always try e-mailing them? Or have a friend call for you.

Or just man up and call them yourself, over time you'll get the hang of it.

if you go to canadian tire they'll charge you the price for an alignment which is like $110 or something along those lines

big-o kaltire etc are all around the same price

Call shop.
Hi, how are you doing?
I have a set of xx" tires, on steelies, that are off the car and I'm wondering how much you guys charge to balance them.
OK thanks, I'll give you a call back to arrange a time to come in.

:seriously:

falcon 02-08-2012 09:06 AM
Seriously, I can't believe this is actually a thread. Pick up the phone or just drive to your local tire shop and ask them to balance. No shop should charge more than $5-$7 for steelies balancing with tires already mounted.
