Default Good and cheap place to mount/balance tires?

Hey I'm planning on ordering tires soon, and I was wondering if you guys could recommend a good and CHEAP place to mount and balance tires? Preferrably around the Sunnyvale area but I'll drive a little bit if it's worth it.

I'm guessing most people are gonna say, blacktrax, the shop, vex, AI... the usual...

There aren't many places that will do it for less than $20-25 a corner, not even "cheap" places are that cheap. haha

Auto Innovation in Milpitas is excellent. Not "cheap", but worth every penny. If you want cheap, try the corner gas station.

THey're not expensive at all. To unmount, get my TPMS valvestems from my stock wheels.. put them on the '07 wheels I traded for, and remount and rebalance the tires (ALL 8) will only be $120

Not bad, I'd say

I'd rather pay $20 more knowing they take care in what they do. Plus Orlando is a bad ass guy
