Invest in tire mounting and balancing equipment, save money? | Articles

Yes. 

Edit: You spent a good bit more on the machines and the answer is still, yes. 

It’s well worth it. You also can’t find a tire shop open a 10:00 pm or 3:00 am, either. My manual Roger Krause tire machine ($300) has paid for itself many times over. I’m going to invest in a pneumatic one soon, since I am getting too old to do the manual one anymore. 🙂

I’d have to include the cost to build an addition on my shop to fit the machines…

For those of you who do a lot of work it makes total sense. For people like me, who buy 2-3 sets of  tires per year (including race tires) it makes no sense whatsoever.  Also note the used tire place by me will do 4 tires for $85.

Good information on what the equipment actually costs.
