good place to get tires mounted, north NJ?
Just got a set of 18" Blizzaks for my winter tires. Any suggestions for a place to get them installed that won't charge too much? I want to put them on my stock rims, and the Mazda dealer quoted 200 bucks :Eyecrazy:
I live in Jersey City, anyone know a decent shop in the "area" (don't mind a little drive) |
got mine done with the tpms installed for 90ish...its in carlstadt....i gotta go there soon any way to get a new tpms put on a rim of mine.....
|
carlstadt? that's not too far, only about 20 minutes. what's the name/address of the place?
|
i forget the name but its on paterson plank road / 120....i think its bergen tire or something...
|
There's a place called Bergen Tire on 120 right next to meadowlands. Guess it was this one? I'll give em a call. Is 90$ about the cheapest I can expect to find?
|
its usually 20-25 on average at a decent shop but you can expect tire places like action tire on 46 and the likes to be 40 per rim.....the dealer is 50ish.....and yeah thats the place bergen tire....thats where i got mine done....they were pretty gentle too and didnt damage my oem dark chromes or my aftermarket rims
|
I like Stafford Tire on Route 3 in Clifton/Nutley. Found 'em on Tire Rack's recommended installer list.
|
Went to Bergen Tire and am very satisfied with their work. I paid something like 105$ for everything, with tax. A little disappointed they used clip-on weights instead of the glue-on ones i had before, but oh well. They're winter tires, i'm not gonna be testing the top speed :-D
|
i got tires mounted on new wheels at Wayne Mazda for $20 a wheel. Thats a very fair price, IMO
|
so they did take care of you cnnmn
|
Yes... The other thing they did that kind of made me cringe was use an impact wrench... By the time I realised they were doing it, it was too late to stop them :mad:
I just retorqued all the nuts by hand tonight. 85ft.lbs. Gonna keep checking to see if I need more |
thats why i handed them my torque wrench.....i stand over them and watch like a hawk
|
I've learned my lesson ... :mad: I will definitely force them to do it properly the next time.
|
any scratches?
|
the rims were already pretty scuffed up (not me, previous owner.. these will become my winter rims)... they did however leave some black gunk on em that doesnt wash off with water, will have to use soap or something
