I usually get them done the same place I buy them from and can work out some kinda package deal. I know Anderson does them can't remember what they charge, but I do know that anytime I need an alignment I will be going back to them. It held great from the factory but when I had a tire shop do it, I had to take it back 3 times before they got it right.

Open until 3:00. Saturdays are usually by appointment only since I only have 4 sometimes 5 technicians working. So definitely let me know before just showing up and expecting it to be done. I do work this coming Saturday actually too, unfortunately. lol

Since we're on the subject of tires, so I took my tire to a local ford dealer to get it fixed. I was very nervous about taking it to wal-mart, in fear they'd screw up my TPMS and say they weren't at fault. Ford costed me $20 to fix a tire. I then took it to wal-mart just to take the chance, and it costed me $9. They didn't mess up my TPMS either. Anybody else trust wal-mart with their trucks? Or ever have problems with them? I hear bad things about their shop all the time.

I take mine to walmart to have the tire rotated. They only charge a $1.50 per tire and will do any pattern you want them to. I like to do my own maintenance but the hassle factor of rotating wheels is not a fav of mine so I just let them have there $6 and I go get the things I need. But that is about as far as I let someone go with my truck unless I do not posses the skills to do it myself.

Back when I worked at Nebraska Tire I had countless people tell me that the Wal-Mart sucks. It got to the point for a while where a guy could almost tell if it was a Wal-Mart patch in the tire that was leaking, I had to redo a lot of patched tires that came from Wal-Mart. I've never heard anything bad about thier shop, but thier quality isn't that great. I wouldn't trust them with my vehicle, then again I dont really trust just anyone either. TPMS isn't that hard to work around, its jus knowing what kind of sensor is on the wheel since thier is a few different styles.
