Firestone is a turbo JEW these days.They had the best prices online, but when I got an actual quote; they tacked on a bunch of extras. Charging $98 in labor on top of the mount and balance fees. What the hell is this?
>>28886413Why the fuck are you buying a vehicle with tires like that and bitching about tire cost? They're charging you extra because those tires and your rims are a pain in the fucking ass. Buy your own tire machine and balancer or take your shit to Jesus's garage and have them scratch your shit up if you don't like it.
>>28886413why don't you unfold that fucking paper so we can see the rest of the quote
>>28886413
>>28886435I figured someone would make that joke. The "Chad" question was around 5 ft 6in tall and overweight.>>28886431That area of the paper is just blank. >>28886417Discount Tire quoted $120 less.
>>28886413getting assblasted about paying <$100 in labor when you're buying $1500 worth of tire is the real jew shit
>>28886438he's a big bully
>>28886413what car uses 295s all four corners.
>>28886441>Just pay $100 more for no reason Goy.
>>28886445My car does.
>Get full set of chink tires from Amazon>$180 shipped>Get the local ma and pop gas station with a service station to swap out and balance the tires for about the same amount$350 tire swap shipped and installed that'll last 60+k miles vs $1,800 tire swap that'll last ~15k miles. Hmmm. I guess that's the price to pay for weight and power.
>>28886438>jewed by a fat manletnahh bruh you're a turbo cuck
>>28886444Them's some digits. I'mma save this as my canned response for this genre of thread.
>>28886413>paying a state charge to also pay a recycling charge for the tires to get sold off to a used tire place to sell them againCan anyone who actually knows please explain how this makes any sense because it looks like I'm subsidizing carbon credits.
>>28886413Washington is a shithole, I know because I live there. Why there is a tire fee and a recycling fee because fuck you. Why does it cost $12 to look at a valve stem? Doubt they do anything beyond just filling the tire, no actual inspection of the stem.
A whole extra $100? Wow it's nothing
>>28886446The tires have to get on your car somehow. If you don't want to pay someone to do it you are more than welcome to mount and balance them yourself.
>>28886445Kinda weird. My rears are 305 but 245 at the front.
>>28886413>Fee for checking valve stem when it's supposed to be part of the tire installation service to begin with>Fucking state tire fee wut>Fee for recycling when your taxes already pay for that to begin withEverything else is on your for ridiculously priced tires but at that point I'm surprised they're not charging you to fuck your wife in front of you. There's nothing discount about any of that. It's actually above the regular going prices.
>>28886445yeah op what did you put them on? i assume they're aftermarket for a big hp awd car. show us.anyway $1800 for 4 tires all said and done on a performance car is hella cheap, i would kill for a quote like that.
>>28886413that $98 is just a restatement of the charges above, not an extra $98it doesn't even look like they charged you for mount/dismount
>>28886550>Why does it cost $12 to look at a valve stem?It's a TPMS inspection
>>28886772This.OP is a moron.
>>28886413Why are they charging you labor for the Washington state tire fee?
>>28887349Their invoice has two categories: parts and labor.Big think.
>>28886413>service advisor: ChadYou got mogged on
>>28886413>295/30r18Yeah, fuck you and your skinnyfat tires. You want to fight with two bars and the arm to get that shit to wrap around the outer lip, be my guest. That's what you get for taking big ass performance tires to a shop full of guys making shit pay. Combine that with Firestone recently adopting an "everyone is a tire tech" approach which is causing a lot of the flat rate guys who can make more doing literally any ticket other than tires to demand more to do them. Also, $98 for an hour of labor is actually very inexpensive for my area.
Get tired mounted.Decline recycling fees, take the tires back and dump them for free at an alleyDeclined new valve stems. Rip off. Your old ones worked finePay only to mount and balance
>>28886512the worst part is they usually won't let you just take your old tires so you can throw them in the river yourself, they force you to leave them and pay the fee
>>28886413>1500 fuckin bucks for some chink tires>washington state tire free
>>28886413why the fuck are you paying $400 a tire
>>28888487Look at the fucking size. Tires this size will never be fucking cheap like the 16's on your shitbox.
>>28888489>teslafaggotit all makes sense now
>>28888492Probably that or some retarded "sports sedan". I love how people buy these vehicles with super soft tires and aggressive alignments then get surprised when they have to drop $2k on a set of tires every year. EVfags never factor in tire cost into their "savings over ICE" calculations.
>>28886435kek underrated post
>>28888492my camry had those same profile tyres before i went down to 16s
>>28886413Your car isn't even fast, buy cheaper tires
>>28886438>The "Chad" question was around 5 ft 6in tall and overweight.And he still absolutely mogsBrutal.
