Cheap place to mount / balance tires in NoVA?
Just bought new tires from discounttiredirect.com for my "beater" 2003 Acura TL-S, and need to find a cheap place to mount tires. I'm not too terribly worried about if they scratch the rims a little bit, as long as they get the tires mounted and balanced.
I've heard Costco will do it for around $10/tire, but will they do it for non-members and if you didn't buy the tires from them?
How about BJ's or Sam's Club? I have memberships to both of them but not Costco (go figure).
I tried calling a few places but they wanted $25-30/tire, which seems really expensive.
The closer to Herndon/Reston the better!
Thanks in advance for any help!

Look for small tire places that also do service work, don't go to big tire places like NTB or Goodyear. If you go to a real tire place they charge $25 - $30 each because you didn't buy your tires there!
I use a small shop and they only charge $15 a tire and it would be less if they weren't such low profile (hard to mount) tires.

. Most big shops wouldn't do it unless tires are purchased from them.
This results in a neutral rating as the two are washed out.
