Best placed to get winter tire swap done after 6PM! - #1 Car Club In Kitchener - Waterloo - Cambridge

**ids748** · 11-05-2006, 10:58 PM

Hey I'm in a dilemma of getting my winter tires put on.

I know Canadian tire price is more than any of the smaller shops in town. I need to put my new rubber on my steelies with shot tires , and have them balanced etc.

Does anyone know other shops bedside's wall-mart ( they booked entire week) open after 6pm that can do this service for me ?

ALso I've always been told to avoid Canadian Tire for any kinda repairs, but I'm in a ruff situation. I drive to work 60Km one way all country roads and friday was scary seen 3 cars in ditch on my way.

canadian tire is actually a cheap place to go for tire swap. But another idea is to PM the user Duro5432. He may be able to help you.

CT wanted to charge me $120 to install four tires...I use Tires23 in Mississauga where they charge like $12 per tire...mounted and balanced...

**ids748** · 11-06-2006, 01:41 PM

tires23 is a sick place, but to swap for winter tires is kind of out of my may a bit.

Isn't Costco supposed to be cheap? I've always heard it is. I'm going to find out tonight.

you do that and let me know! otherwise I'll kick your ass! haha first time i've seen you on here homeboy! lol

some places may stay open later once winter is actually here... I know I've gone lots of times where they stay later than normal... TireCo on Fairway usually does it for me!

**ids748** · 11-06-2006, 09:28 PM

costco is cheap but the time waiting period is ridiculous.

**Ill*eagle** · 11-06-2006, 09:39 PM

Costco was very busy tonight, to the point of me not wanting to wait and ask.

Walmart has openings for thursday...I'm getting mine done then

**ids748** · 11-06-2006, 10:32 PM

i guess ill stick with cdn tire.

also cost co needs membership. even though my dad has it every time i use to go for oil changes and use my dads card they always made a big deal about my dad not being their.

they need the card holder their. But i don't see the big deal I'm his son getting the oil changed for the car which has his ownership, shouldn't be such a big deal.

**Ill*eagle** · 11-06-2006, 11:11 PM

Get him to hook you up with the secondary membership, I have one off my mom's and its very useful.

You musta asked them to do a lot more than just install four tires...as its $15/tire to mount & balance = $60

**JeBeDiAh** · 11-07-2006, 10:29 PM

walmart is cheap they charged my buddy i think 60 bucks for all 4 tires to be changed

**KWghost** · 11-08-2006, 12:13 AM

go to Beverly Tire on Friday... make an appointment, they're open until 8pm I believe on Fridays

**ids748** · 11-08-2006, 08:56 AM

^^^^I called on weekend they close 1 hr early friday's at 5PM instead of 6PM.

I tried a million places lol. It looks like it will be canadian tire tonight, unless they fucked up my appointment.

I think its kinda early for winter tires but w/e better safe then sorry.

**ids748** · 11-08-2006, 11:28 PM

well just came back from canadian tire........pretty sick service, the dude sorta forgot i had steelies in the back in the trunk, and i seen him deflating my tires so i screamed steelies in the trunk

he didn't know their were steelies in the trunk, cuz the punk kid didn't write it on the work order even though i explained so before anything. Wasn't the mechanics fault as it wasn't on work order. Anyways explained it to him in person and all was good.

I'd recommended Canadian tire i for flexible hours.
