Cheap place to get tires mounted and balanced?
I picked up a set of tires I need mounted. Wondering if there are any good and cheap shops in the east bay that will mount and balance for a good price.
Thanks.

I need to hear about this place. That would be entirely worth driving to SJ for! Discount/America's Tire was the cheapest I could find, $4 to dismount/mount per wheel, then $15 to balance each. It was $96 last time I changed my summer/snow tires. Pricey.

Remember though the cheaper you go sometimes, if you have aftermarket rims....

I was in the east bay and stopped into Auto Innovations in Milpitas for a last minute alignment on a Friday. They managed to fit me in and fix an alignment that another shop claimed was maxed out.
Not sure what they charge for mount/balance but +1 for being no BS and reasonably priced for alignment.

The place looks ghetto but theyre good and fast. Ive been there twice and havent been dissapointed.. They balance wheels with weights inside and havent scratched my rim except for the inside (from lug bolts) while putting it on the car lol w/e its on the inside
Edit: They dont charge tax either.. Straight $40 to swap tires lol
