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
160-2268 No. 5 Rd Richmond, BC V6X 2T1
(604) 247-0800

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.

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, 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.
