Default Little Foreign Car Garage in Waltham/Belmont...

...I gave Direct Tire a shot, and I will not be going back there. I've had LFCG do several tire mount/balance, never had an issue with any work they did. Always got the wheels back from them in PERFECT shape. They are also an approved Tire Rack drop ship location.

Default RIm and wheel works was 135. i have been there twice and the prices they list on the internet

are not what they charge. the prices online dont include mountingand balancing so they tack on this extra amount and you are stuck wondering what the heck?

i also fhat lcfg took a little more care. one time i got one of my wheels back from rim and wheels works they had knicked the wheel on th very outside- not bad but still i am getting it repaired i dont want more damage.
