Custom Alignment in Mountain View.

Just do it at the dealer. Stevens Creek and Rector will mount outside tires for about 60-75/tires. Tire shops cost $35/tire but they butched one of my tires some how. Luckily, my rims weren't damaged.

I used Wheel Tech near the San Jose airport. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3904&hl= Since they refinish wheels they know how to change them. They did my last 2 sets of tires. Tom works the tire machine. They also put on a tech session for us last year.

Years ago I tried to use Custom Alignment for my first set, but the next date they had open was 2 weeks away and I could not wait. Wheel Tech did it the day I called them.

Wheel Tech is cheaper.

Both are Tire Rack installers, so you have have your tires sent directly to them.

Stevens Creek has new equipment at the new place.

All 3 can do the job without scratching your wheels.

Roger Kraus tires in Castro Valley. When your done having new tires mounted have the Bay Area's best alignment guy, Brandon, give your car the perfect alignment.

I highly recommend RennWerks (www.rennwerks.com), formerly in Mountain View but I believe they're now down in Campbell. They have Hunter tire-changing and alignment systems and are also a TireRack installer. I used to live in the Bay Area and took my BMW M Coupe to them for tires and service, had a great experience w/ them.

Rob Dietsch at Dietsch werks in Sunnyvale at 665 E. El Camino 408-735-9287. $15 per tire plus disposal. He is a Porsche/BMW guy. He has a Hunter machine and knows how to use it.

Does RennWerks and Dietsch werks do flat repairs? Wheel Tech does not, think because of liability reasons. Had flats in my last 2 sets of tires and had to go all the way to Custom Alignment.
