Default Mount and Balance Tires?

Looking for a good shop in Hampton/NN/Yorktown area.

I usually get all alignments and mounting done at Custom Car Care.
They are charging $75 for two rear tires.

Anyone know of a good shop that won't scuff/scratch my Works and do it for a better price?

Thanks, Franz

75 dont seem like a bad price if you've taken your car there before and they have not messed them up the previous times. New place might be cheaper and have a chance to mess up your expensive wheels.

If you can buy real wheels why worry about 75 bucks.

After all, they aren't rotas.

(just my two cents.)

$75 does seem a little pricey to me, and saying "you get what you pay for" doesn't seem to justify it in this instance.

Thanks for all the info everyone.

NasTHatch - where is your shop located and how much do you guys charge?

I would like to get them mounted on this side of the water cause 64 sucks, but for the right price, I would take the drive.
