Hey all,

Marti from VIP Garage here. We've gotten a chance to meet several of you since we became a site sponsor.

Anyway, we will be introducing some new promos and exclusive deals through out the month.

For the month of September we are offering 25% off of our labor rate. All of you who have been calling us for quotes on clutch installs would save big money.

Thanks for your time folks.

sounds like a good deal, but your title says 25% off and your thread says 20%. Hopefully it's the former :)

Hey folks,

We have seen a surprising amount of Subie tuners come in for tire mounting and balancing and everyone seems to say we have the best prices out there.

We have mounted just about every reasonable size out there. From some 315/30/19 on a 997 to the typical 235/45/17.

Our rate is $25/tire for a 45 or higher profile and $35/tire for 40 or smaller profiles. Usually this can be done on the spot so please feel free to come on by for your tire mounting and balancing needs.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

We also have the ability to get tires like BFG, Falken, Kumho, Yokohama, Toyo and even Hoosier! Let us know what you are looking for an we'll get you a quote.

:thumbup: These guys did my 245-35-17's. I shudder to think what a pain in the ass that was :)

And they didn't charge $texas for it, unlike some other shops in the area. *grumble*

Thanks again!

What does an alignment run?

we don't have the ability to do alignments in house. there is a mustang shop across the street from us called FCCT that does great work and they only charge like $70 for a 4 wheel alignment. Give them a call at 571-434-7374 and tell them that the guys from VIP sent you and they'll hook you up.


235/45/17 is nothing for us. that is the stock size for the EVO too and we do that all day long. Hell we did a 295/30/19 a little while ago and we have stretched a 215 on a 9" wheel so we have quite a knack for tire "maneuvering"

235/45/17 is nothing for us. The 245/35/17's must have been a little harder, tho ;)

Merged the threads; let me know if you need any titles edited.

Hmm, that's practically behind my house.

I should atleast stop by and see what's up tomorrow =)

235/40/17 on a 17x7.5 wheel? Issues? :p

Figure 8 weeks from now, I might need that service.

I will be needing (5) 235/50/18s mounted and balanced in the near future. Do you guys do road force balancing? How much will that run me?

Why would you have issues? I have 235/55/17s mounted to my 17x7.5s.:confused: The width is fine.

The width isn't the problem, its the sidewall height. And with some tires the sidewall is super stiff, causing even more problems.

Yeah, I remember when Tay tried to mount my RE070's on the stock STi BBS wheels. We had 3 people on that machine by the end of it all :p

Okay, that makes sense now.

Off topic but Dave, what lens did you use for that shot and how did you get all the colors so vibrant?

I circled by Sunday in the red RSTi to find out where you were located.

I waved to someone as they were closing the garage door, then turned around and rolled back out.

I'll try to come by this week, as I have something I need modified to fit my other car.

-- Dave

i was out of town all weekend. I didn't even know anyone was here sunday. probably one of the guys working on their car.

feel free to stop on by.

we have decided to extend this promo through September because we were very busy through out August and some folks couldn't work a schedule that worked for them.

25 more days!

Edited your thread title... August -> September :)

Can you guys get deals on tires? I'll be in for a couple sets to be mounted.

yeah we have most all the tire brands available. Falken , Yoko, Kumho, Toyo, BFG, BridgeStone etc..... shoot me a pm with any tire price requests or post them here and I'll reply to them as soon as possible.

thanks to those of you who have stopped by to say hello and those of you who have been having work done. We appreciate your business and hope to continue to work for you.

Sent a PM.

You guys REALLY need to check these threads more often. :rolleyes:

i didn't get an update about a post on here. sorry about that.

yea, i have a PM into you all as well ;)

Can you get 235/40-18 or 245/35-18 Toyo T1-R's?

my supplier doesn't have either of those sizes in stock. says about 10-14 days out.

Could you guys mount a set of tires this Friday (9/22) around noon?

Just called and left a message about geting the tires mounted this Friday.

look forward to meeting you Tim.

Yeah. Me too. You're only like 1 mile from my office. We're over on Ridgetop circle off of Nokes Blvd.

i have a couple of EVO and Sti customers in that same building. there is a blue Sti with a CF hood and Trunk that works there that is a customer of ours and a GG EVO IX.

Unfortunately it looks like UPS is late today. Ugh. Hope fully I'll be over soon.

Got my tires mounted and they did a great job. No scrataches on the wheel. minimal stick-on weights. And they ride nice and smooth.

thanks again for giving us the shot at your business bud. I hope we get to work more together on your project.

No problem. You did a great job. I decided I wanted diferent tire so I'll be in soo to have them mounted. :)
