Anyone ever get their wheel balanced at walmart?

I was looking online and they wheel balance for 7.50 each wheel. Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Anyone ever been there to get their wheels balanced?

I will quote the old adage, You get what you pay for......

I personally never took a car to Walmart and will never do it or even think of doing it......

I've never used them, so I can't say that they are bad. Have you called any dedicated tire shops in your area to see if their pricing is much different?

I don't know how bad of a job they could do. You put the tire in the machine,.. turn it on for like a minute.. and put the wheel weights on...

And it even says exactly where and how much.
At local shops I have never paid more than 10 for mount and balance.

I get mine done at Sears. They have been great so far. There's even a civic enthusiast there who I usually request to work on mine. Find a place and a guy you like. $10 tip can go a long ways sometimes.
