Good Place to get Blizzak tired mounted and balanced in Chicago?

Just got a set of Blizzaks. Anyone know a good place to get tired mounted and balanced? Knauz charges 50 bucks a tire. Seems steep. But I am certain they do it well.

Just Tires does it for 20. but scared cause a bunch of teenagers work there.

I had Advanced Auto Clinic (on Lake street just west of Edens expressway) change my regular 15 inch tires when they wore out.

They were recommended from Tire Rack and did a good job for about $65 for the set.

This was about 2 1/2 years ago, and I know the shop was remodeled since, but I don't know if it is the same ownership or not.

Kevin:

If Knauz is in your area, then give Rauch Performance a call. They are just up 41 from Knauz and are a father/son shop that has one of the tire mounting machines that can handle the big low profile tires. I've used them for mounting tires on my MCS and many times for my M coupe.
