Default HR: Where to get tires mounted and balanced?

It's getting close to time to get new tires for my car. I want to order some from the internet and have them mounted and balanced locally. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good place to get this done? I don't want to go somewhere and have them screw up my wheels, only to find out that they've screwed up other peoples wheels before. Anyone got any suggestions?

I have a place up by me that is real good, but out of the way for you.

I think it is best to go to a place that specializes in big chrome wheels, as they will have good equipment and usually take a little more care of the wheels.

I think there was a thread about this a while back. I went to the ghetto tire place down the street from my house and they did a good job.

Actually I would be willing to drive a little if I knew that the place was good. I've beed dreading doing this because I've heard some bad stories. I hate having to deal with tire places. There's a place right next to my work that sells all those god awful chromed out wheels. I asked them and they said only if I buy wheel and tires there at their location. Which I thought was strange because I never see any cars there getting work done. They must be doing a lot of internet sales.

3 hours on the way up...and 6 hours on the way back when you miss your turn and go right into D.C. traffic.

Yay! that was so much fun for last years Mach V meet.

I'm glad to see that I am not the only one...Well, at least I'm not the only one who isn't afraid to admit it.
