FWIW I also discovered last week that Canadian Tire franchises charge different amounts for tire balancing - most I called were around $17 per tire, the store in Bowmanville Ontario told me that "it depends on how much weight is needed, it starts at ~$17 but can go up if your tire needs a lot of weight to balance". Huh?
Seriously?! 1st I've heard of that. Really......how much does a few chunks of tire weights cost that they would charge for it?????
Will have to look at my receipt but I'm pretty sure I paid less than that per tire for mounting and balancing at the Burlington store. Like I said, they do a decent job here doing mounting and balancing.
I ran across this at another tire franchise, they claimed it was because more weights equalled more work.
Mind you yet another franchise told me they were going to have to charge for installing a battery (sold as "includes installation") because the battery wasn't under the hood.
