Need a good shopt to get tires mounted & balanced...

Hey Guys,

I need a place to get tires mounted and balanced. Now I'm going to ask the impossible. I want it to be a road force balance and a decent price. Some places are quoting outrageous prices...like $50 a tire.

Any recommendations out there? I would prefer something relatively close to Leesburg or Germantown. If I have to go out further to get this done, I will. Unfortunately, IOC isn't possible...I've already been in contact with Destro

BTW guys...screw Toyota of Leesburg. My father has a heavily modified GS300 with aftermarket rims. They would do a mount and balance for him. However, they won't do it for me because it is an Infiniti...fine I'll take my business elsewhere. I thought I would never see the day that a shop would refuse business. Rant over.

Thanks

Contact Ricky Bobby AKA SuperchargedG. While he's out around the Baltimore area it seems like he can hook you up. Not sure he can do road force balance but I think he works at a tire shop.

Are these aftermarket rims? If they are, I'd do some traveling and avoid the troubles. It's pretty hard to find a place in Germantown that does a good affordable job. Try calling Frederick Nissan though. They have a new dealership and the owner is a 350Z enthusiast.
