All i want is mount and balance

Didn't know getting tires mounted and balanced was so difficult in Philadelphia
I went to a few shops today and they were either to busy or the person doing tires was not in the shop.

Now there are a tons of shops in the city that plug tires and sell used old tires that are not safe.

One guy says i'm not messing with the machine i'm scared of it. I laughed at him.
So all they are doing is just tire plugs all day.

For the love of this nice up and coming weather i just want my new rims and tires on.

There are at least a dozen shops within minutes where I live. Wasn't aware in some areas it was so difficult.

LOL

You're driving with two different sized tires?

I always make an appointment or call ahead asking how busy a shop is. Beats driving around from shop-to-shop or waiting 4 hours before they pull your car in.

Helps to have a truck or know someone with some type of vehicle that can either drop the tires/wheels off, or pick you up and kill time while it’s in there.
