I went through Tire Rack for my tires, now I'm stuck calling around for prices to mount and balance. I've gotten $54, $56, $68, & $72 so far. Is this about right, or do I keep calling?

Find a shop and make friends with the owner/manager

There are some very good words of wisdom.

If you can find a Mom & Pop shop, you can probably do better in the long run.

It also helps if you buy your tires through these places for your daily drivers.

The hook up I've found has been doing dismounting, mounting and balancing for $10 a tire.
However, I drop off the tires/wheels a week ahead of time, tell the guy I need them by a certain date and work on them as they have time helps. If they have to bump other customers, then the price goes up.
