Magkano Ang Wheel Weights?

[ice_man5210]

Just had my tires rotated at a car place along Libis and I had the tires from the back balanced before they put them up front. I was watching them when they did the balancing and I'm pretty sure they didn't use a lot of weights to balance the two tires.

I was surprised when they were charging me 200 pesos for wheel weights. I tried to ask for a discount on the weights charge but they didn't budge.

Is that really the going rate for tire weights now? Was I ripped off or was I charged fairly?

The unbalanced readings for one tire were 35-30 and the other was 15-10.

I hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!

I paid roughly P200+ for the weights and labor at Servitek Capitolyo before (two tires).

When i buy new tires at some shops, I spend less than P100 for the weights (free balancing labor).

[woohoo]

You should've asked them how many units they used, and asked how much is one unit.

Since these items are priced by piece/unit, the charges will depend on how many units they used on your wheels.

You're lucky if they use only a piece or two.

HTH.

The last time I had my wheels balanced, I had to pay 25/pc.

Some shops offer free wheel balancing when you buy new tires from them.
