Tire Installation

Just clipped a raised manhole cover and got a flat. Was going to order tires myself. What station installs and how much per tire should it cost?

Maplewood Tire is highly regarded. 

We use Chris at CP (formerly Boyden Friendly) but he’s really busy today. I think the labor to install and balance four tires was something like $80. On top of the cost per tire. 

$25 per tire install and balance. Go to maplewood tire on Springfield and Vermont street.

Chris rocks. Tony (the former owner) was awesome, and Chris has done an amazing job since taking over!

I will add more praise for Chris at CP Auto.  He just yesterday repaired a flat for me, quickly and thoroughly. He's also done other work on our cars with great results.  Recommend him highly. Call him at 973-761-5640 and he'll tell you when he can work on your tires. Good guy!

Both Maplewood Tire and CP Auto are great.  I've ordered from https://www.tirerack.com/content/tirerack/desktop/en/homepage.html and both places are happy to put them.

Thanks everyone. Ordered from TR and will make an appointment with CP or MT. Interesting aside...tires shipped FedEx from Deleware to Edison, then Edison to Northhampton Pa. (almost 80 miles in the wrong direction) delaying delivery to Maplewood. What's that all about ?

I’ve had weird tracking situations like that once or twice. I suspect a bar code got misread on your package or something.
