Best and worst mechanics shops in Hilo
#7
I don't remember how much it cost, but it was a lot by my standards because I change my own oil. Came with a free car wash.

I just saw this on their web site:

$24.95
TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE*

Tires Rotation & Balance
Rotate and balance 4 tires. Check and adjust tire pressure. Complimentary multi-point inspection.

*Certain restrictions apply. See dealer for details. Price and offer availability may vary by model. Taxes and fees additional. No cash value. Must present offer to redeem. May not be combined with other offers. Nissan vehicles only. Void where prohibited. Ends March 14, 2022.

As far as Lex Brodies goes, their affordable tires are from Indonesia. I looked up their specs one time and remember not liking them. I quit going there after I went there to get a tire repaired (had a nail in it) and they told me not only could they not repair it, it was such a "liability" they couldn't let me drive away with it (tire was still holding air, very slow leak) and tried to talk me into buying a replacement. They reluctantly agreed to let me drive away on the donut, which was only half full of air, which they couldn't inflate because it was their "policy" that they only put air into tires they sell or service (I'm not making this up). Fortunately I had a portable inflator in my trunk so I was able to inflate it enough to drive home and repaired the tire myself, and then drove it until it was nearly bald.

They told the guy before me the same thing, liability, blah blah blah but he didn't have a spare, and they literally told him they couldn't release the car to him unless he produced a tire their "technicians" deemed safe, or bought one from them. I've never been back. I'll never go back. The last two times I needed tires I bought them from Amazon, though Costco would be my first choice.
