seriously....go to any of those "garage" complexes where there are like 10 shops in the same building. (like Laidlaw ave in Markham @ McCowan & 7).

go to any shop, $20 for all 4. It'll take them like 20 minutes.

You only need to balance the tires if you bang your rims around a lot... Usually not necessary.

That being said, I believe that to be a reasonable price, although I got it at $10 a tire before with AGR at Cawthra/Dundas.

sry man, not familiar w/ ssauga, but i've seen tonnes of threads before about shops and stuff on this forum. do a search, like "Mississauga shop" and you'll find them.

Does it really cost that much for a balancing?

Lol, I did my own at my old highschool. Free.
As well as an oil change. I only had to buy the filter and the oil.

Try the yellow pages or just go to any shop you see. Walmart would probably be the cheapest, but is 80 that much to spend to have your car drive better?
