I need to get 4 tires Mounted and Balanced in the frederick county area. Who has best price and service. I already have the tires.
I've often bought tires from Amazon or ebay and got them mounted and balanced at Walmart in mt airy.
I've had balance guys tell me the road force balancing is a sham and rarely ever makes a difference.
Walmart is notorious for muffing up a wheel and telling you it came in that way.
I think that might vary by store and personnel. Some years back I stopped in the old Walmart off rt. 26 in Frederick. I came in towards the end and was watching as I was waiting. Some old guy was mounting the wheels and I was amazed to see him use a torque wrench to carefully righten each lug. I can’t remember ever seeing that. But, in general, minimum wage usually gets minimal talent, unless you have a retiree looking to stay busy, which this might have been.
