$400 is a ripoff.

The shop I use is a local privately owned shop charges $25/wheel for mount/balance for low profile tires, +$5/wheel for road-force balance, -$5 for normal profile tires. Family owned in business at least a full generation. Non marking sockets and changer equipment, hand torque and air to spec, equipment is calibrated, know how to jack up our cars correctly using lift pads or slotted pucks for pinch welds, the "waiting room" is a couch right on the shop floor so you can watch, and they can get you in all 4 tires changed, mounted, balanced and back out on the road in a lunch break. Best place in town by far.

Never seen a dealer ever be anywhere close to this level of service and value.
