+3 for EuroSports had them swap out some tires can't remember what they charge but it wasn't much. And make a appointment it'll save you some time they can get busy.

well while i do like the folks at eurosport nobody is perfect. there's a chance that no matter where you go something might happen. it all comes down to if you wanna pay someone $80, or someone $40. if they are stock rims, i say go to a cheap place, if they aren't, then eurosport is about as reputable a place as any.

just my 2c worth so take it for what it's worth, but I only take my suspension, brakes, alignment and wheel/tire work to Pacific Automotive & Performance (813 Ilaniwai)

Ken is a friend of mine but his staff do AWESOME work and have yet to fail me on any issue I've brought to them. I don't know about recent days, but there was a time that Eurosport/Hypersport/Speedgear (now Vakamon) all took their tire mounting/balancing/etc type work to Ken @ Pacific Auto... I know most of these shops now have their own tire mounting machines, but again, Ken and his staff have never let me down or damaged any of my wheels

again, just my 2c... and it's always good to know 'alternatives' when dealing with something as particular as "what keeps you on the road".

Hey

tazer, Ken at Pacific Automotive has done every alignment my car has ever seen. There is no doubt he does great work. I've just never had my wheels/tires done there. Not to say they wouldn't do a great job, I've just always utilized their skills for alignments.
