    Default Anyone here work at a tire-mouting shop?

    Ive got a set of 4 tires that need to be resealed on the rims, and the air valves replaced.

    The cheapest quote I got so far is $80 for all 4.

    Can someone hook me up with a much more reasonable price?

    Thanks,
    Rico

    If someone buys my laptop for $400 then I might consider buyting this Tire machine for sale I have a link on right now, its only $500, if it works then I will just charger you guys like $5 a tire, I know alot of you burn rubber so its a small price to pay instead of like $20 a tire at shops, or more. Let me know how many people would be interested in this.

    tire machines are expensive, good ones at least that wont f- up aluminum mags, do you have replacement mags, if you pop em off id do em for you

    btw: ironically enough, we charge 25 bucks for tire repair and balance 1 wheel, but only 7bucks goes into my pocket, profitable business though

    80 bucks is very reasonable for 4 tires to be unmounted, mounted, new valve stems, balancing

    thats how much i paid to get mine done at harpers tire

    If you got other rubbers and metals to put on in the mean time I could remount+new valve stems for employee pricing probably, let me know.

    i'd be into that - how much is employee pricing for all 4 ?

    i'd need new valves, and lots of that rim / rubber sealant.
