The place I used to go to get tires done can't ever seem to get the balance right, so I started looking for alternatives.
Three out of four times now I have had to take the car back and get it re balanced and I'm done with them.
I had them do the last front tires (mount and balance) and one of them shakes the car enough to make my hood shake side to side between 60 and 80mph.
Sure, the original place wouldn't charge me for the rebalance but why would I do that?
That's like getting free shitty gas.
We have a Mopar Brother (has 66 Barracuda) that works at a local shop and when I called them they won't do just the new ones that are out of balance.
They said they would balance all four for $10 each or nothing, so I skipped it because I will be getting new rear tires pretty soon and I'm not paying 20 bucks to balance old tires that are coming off before long.
Not asking for a solution, but just a bit of a rant that a shop won't do what I ask them to do.
Tire mounting and balancing is the one and only thing I let someone else do on my car, and that even seems to be ending.
