Hold My Own wrote:Balancing is not rotating. Balancing takes some heavy equipment that no individual will have. But rotating? That's just putting the front tires in the back and the back tires in the front. And swapping sides for the front 2 that are now in the back. All you need is a jack and a spare. It takes maybe 15 mintues.LUconn wrote:you guys are seriously paying money for someone to rotate your tires? That is beyond pathetic.

Seriously thats the one thing Im willing to pay for...if they are not balanced correctly then the wear on those tires will cost you much much more then a simple oil change and tire rotation....sure there are a lot of people who change their own oil....but rotate your own tires? Youre in the minority with that one...and anyways they do it for free wherever you buy your tires

But I'm not sure if you guys have one in the 'Burg.There's one in Forest, on 221 very near the Goodyear and Jiffy Lube. I don't recommend them, though, unless you want to drop your car off or wait a few hours.

Oddly enough, Goodyear never did that to me. I asked for an oil change, I got an oil change and that was it.
