I just took delivery on 4 new tires for my Focus. Where can I go to get them mounted? I'm in Florence :)

Jeremy is good and I would recommend him as someone local. We also have the best tire machines available at our shop in Covington. We charge $100 to mount and balance 4 tires

Yeah I should have been more specific. I'm looking for a place that will mount and balance for a good price. $100 is a bit steep in my mind IMO.
I'll check with Jon. I didn't realize he was still at TD. :bigthumb

Not the lead it is the tire machines. Ever price a touchless tire machine? Our setup is approx $16k. We are told all the time we are too cheap, all in your perspective I guess. Someone brings an $8k set of Forgeline wheels, to them $150 is very cheap peace of mind they will be done correctly

The local tire shop we use is 7 bucks a wheel,or free mount and balance when purchasing a set of tires

I don't own a business, no need for me to price a tire mounting machine..thanks for the info though stangboy,if I decide to open a tire shop then I'll know what I'm facing costwise

I had some goofy kids screw up my factory rims on my GTi once and I was pissed.. The owner paid a guy to come and refinish them for me. I can't imagine what it would be like to own rims that are 8k. I'm pretty certain I'd just use them as decorations in my house. That being said, I'd love to have a really nice set of street wheels and tires some day. I'll keep you in mind.

Just for reference Jeremy Rice was in my shop today and I asked him what he charges and he said he has charged $100 a set since 2011. So my pricing is inline with what most others charge. Of course if you are buying tires from a store they are going to do it for free. Like with most things in life you get what you pay for.
