My hometown has two tire service companies; Les Schwab and Point S Tire. I stopped buying tires from them years ago when they became absurdly expensive. Last year, I bought a set of tires online and took them to Les Schwab to have them mounted and balanced and they charged $90 for the service. Ridiculous. Plus, they didn't do it correctly and I had to take them to a different Les Schwab in a neighboring town and had them re-balanced.
When my girlfriend needed tires she bought online mounted and balanced in February, she went to Les Schwab and they told her $140. She walked out and took it to the Toyota dealer who did it for $110.
I stopped by the Point S store today and asked how much to mount and balance 4 new tires and they told me $150. What??
Are tire shops all over charging twice what they used to a year or two ago, or are my local shops gouging people?
