Default Think they charged you a reasonable amount?

I'm hoping to get a new exhaust by year's end. I'll probably use them.

I'm workin' all day Thursday, but would be cool to meet up sometime...

Default $700 some bucks labor....all MY parts.

Maybe a hair high. They advertize a "new customer discount" not sure I got a piece of that.

You can see my car there (Imola 2000) if you go by. Sorry, can't meet up as My wife is going up to Albq. to pick up car...I am stuck In Houston.

Like Redheads?

I've had several bad experiences with price gouging at NTB.

Default Doesn't sound bad to me. Another shop wouldn't install brakes I brought in...

I hope to hear they did a good job.

...and yes. But my wife doesn't.

Default usually they're talking about mounting tires that you bought from them, not tires you brought in.

just a thought...

Default NO, THEY put these prices on TIRE RACKS web site! For Bring in tires

Can not see how you didn't see that in my post..... The NTB prices ($17.50 mount and balance for 40series tire) were posted BY THEM on Tire Racks web page in order to pull in "instillation" business.

Not to sell tires!

not agreeing or disagreeing with anyone.

Default From Missouri? ZIP 77450 Link here

Third one down...but all NTB prices are posted by the corporate office and the same, I think.
