Anyone know an affordable place to get tires mounted/balanced in the north phx/scottsdale area?

 

Dynocomp at raintree, just east of hayden, mounts and balances for I believe $35 per tire. They aren't opened on weekends though.

 

I've had all my wheels done at Wal-Mart, no joke. Not cheap wheels either. SSR, Stitch, Weds, etc. with no problem

I had all 4 tires mounted and balanced last weekend for $38 on some 18's

 

Everyone knows ONE thing around here and what everyone knows is you go to Wheel Specialists and talk to John.

Support your local scene.

 

John rules.

 

+1, you won't go to a nicer place, you won't find anyone who will treat your car better, and you won't be more satisfied with the entire experience, than at wheel specialties.

 

I need some tires mounted on too lol. I called discount tire and its either 30 or 35$ a rim. When i bought front tires for my fronts i also had the rears balanced and once i got back home i noticed they scratched the shit out of my calipers i was PISSED! So might go to wall mart lol should be much cheaper... but tell them to watch the F out!

 

I'd be scared to let Walmart touch any nice wheels.

I'm sure they are probably a bit stronger than an ATV wheel - but Walmart managed to turn one of the wheels on my old KFX400 into a triangle.

 

^ wow, i am hoping you got some $$$ back or a free rim maybe??

edit: i think walmart was trying to re-invent the wheel

 

Yeah, but it wasn't easy getting the store to help.

I watched it happen - the tire jockey left some flat prybar looking tool in the tire as it spun around on the machine and then CRASH - no more round rim.

He gets his boss/manager over who tells me they'll take care of it.

It holds air fine, so I can ride the quad back home. Manager guy tells me they won't be charging me the $8 a wheel fee, and then says

"You'll probably be able to find a used wheel for like $20-30 somewhere. "

(long silent pause)

He is now not only trying to get out of paying for a new rim (quad was less than 2 weeks old) - but suggesting I find a used one - and just buy it myself.

I leave the tire center and go find the main store manager there to complain - he takes down my info and the next day someone from Walmart's insurance claim department calls me and tells me to get a quote for a replacement wheel from the nearest Kawasaki dealer.

I tell him I already have the quote - for some crazy reason, the stock 8 or 9" aluminum rim on a KFX400 quad costs almost $240. He tells me ok, we'll arrange for the store to fix this for you. Return to the tire department and we'll have them give you a payout in cash.

They must have reamed the tire manager, as he must have apologized to me 30 times while counting out the cash.

I had to sign some official form saying I was satisfied with the resolution, but I was - so all was good again.

The wheel never leaked - so its still a triangle.
