If you want it done right, but pay a little more, go Curry's auto. They cost a little more than usual but great really good care and I've never heard a negative expirience with them :2cents:

I called up Performance Nissan in Frederick, MD and got quoted ~$20 per wheel to mount/balance 19"s. Euromotor MB had great prices too @ $89 for all 4 but will only work on MBs. Only reason I'm going to Performance Nissan is they've got a crazy performance shop and probably more trusted than your local NTB.

Yup, they did my alignment and brought me back into their immaculate work area. They asked me how I wanted my alignment while my car was on the rack with the computer in front of me with factory specified ranges.

They're also hosting an open house for their new Reston location, the flyer for which I posted last week.

I paid about $150 for mounting and balancing... and about the same for an alignment. Although, like it was said, they ask you how you want it done etc. Very nice, very professional, expensive but recommended.

Alot of places will just "bring you back into spec" - they ask you what values you want for camber, toe, caster, etc.
