Recommended tire mount & balance shop in NNJ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hi guys,

I am currently trying to find a shop that has decent equipment to mount and balance my winter tires on my stock wheels.

I just stopped by this shop within the Shell gas station this morning and was quite surprised that they would charge $45 per tire for the "sophiscated, high profile tires." so I just walked right out.

$45 per tire sound a bit too expensive because I was rather thinking about ~$100 max and was expecting something like $80..

Do you guys have any recommendations for shops located in north new jersey?

Or you guys can PM me with your best price.

Thanks in advance.

Drive safe with snow tires guys!

Check on tire rack website, you can find local shops. I guess it is too late but they can deliver to the sop and you just show up and they mount and balance for you.

I found a local shop on there that does road force mount and balance $20 per.

Good luck.

Thanks ZionsWrath.

I have my tires with me (Blizzak WS70) so I just need to find a shop to mount and balance them for me.

The place I went was one of the highest rated shop on Tire Rack..

You can still view the shops that mount and balance on tirerack even if you don't buy tires.

Right.

This 1 shop quoted me for $45 per tire this morning.. my Subaru dealer gets the job done for $84+tax so I think I'll just stop by the dealer..

Thanks though!

Just go to a run of the mill Midas, they charged me $25 a tire and they are pretty use to mounting tires all day (60% of their work...).

If you can find someone local then it's even better, i was charged $60 at another place but the guys a bit of a douche so i stopped going there.

Yea, local is best. I found a place road force balance $20 any size. So I always give $20 tip too, excellent shop

I would go to Slidewayz (https://www.facebook.com/slidewayzmo...f=ts&ref=br_tf) I trusted them with my CCW's and they did an awesome job stretching my tires. I know for a fact they can get you tires on, they even told me they stretched 205 winter tires on a 10" wheel or around that. For me it was $90 for all four of my tires.
